Totally. And what may not be clear to non-Americans is that a lot of places didn't have the over-21 interest to sustain a club scene. A lot of people didn't grow up with it like they could in Europe, and because the club scene is so much harder to sustain a lot of people easilly look upon it as something that you grow out of. Also, when most of the clubs cater to the prog/trance/hardhouse stuff these days, people tend to get bored of that stuff before they discover anything with a bit more depth. Hand-in-hand with that, as people discover dance music through drugs, they often leave it when they leave drugs behind. Tristan ======= http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
