What impresses me is the attention to Detail.
Derrick would would actually Splice peices of tape and
insert it backwards to give it that backspin sound. If you've worked
with
Linear analog tape or even fixing old eaten cassette tapes, you can
respect the
amount of tedious time that went into it.

While we're on this thread, I would recommend "The History Of House" book
that came out a couple years ago. I think it's a UK release through The Mix
magazine, so you could probably get it from them. The interviews in there
are priceless, and the Detroit ones are from the heyday (88-89). From what
you learn about the technology Atkins, May, Saunderson (even Larry Heard,
Li'l Louis, man! down to Kraftwerk)had to work with to come up with such
timeless music, you have to wonder why there's so much garbage - along with
some good stuff - now that we have *way* better tools to work with!
My 2 centavos.
