In the years that followed, a very loosely-knit underground of artists
& listeners formed, slowly and anonymously; it was a community
where audience & artist tended, by and large, to be the same people;
and, save for a brief moment when the press was bending over backwards
to announce that electronic music Had Really Arrived (in case you
missed it, this coincided with one of Madonnas producers discovering
the classic 808 sound), it managed to keep itself mainly below the
radar, where all good things thrive. |
