I just got one thing to say in this discussion first of all I'm a big fan of Kenny's music, but it don't really like his racial standpoints. And about the copying thing it would be easy to say that without Kraftwerk or even other german producers (E2-E4) there wouldn't be Techno. But I won't. All I'm interested in is hearing good music (and reading about good music) and that's important. And just saying that they're copying TSS TSS. That's no argument, everyone is influenced by good music (well unfortunatly not everyone ;-)) it is what you do with these influences that count there are people like Aphex Twin & Christian Vogel who do completely different things.

It seems your opinions regarding the state of music from Detroit is superficial at best...Where would your "avant-guarde" dj's be without someone to proceed them..to give them something to copy?Everyone has influeneces ..but in regards to techno those from other than the Detroit area are doing exactly what the Beatles did with rock-and-roll ..copying a black mans soul and claiming as their own and the uneducated pop music fans just consuming whatever's directed at them.All of the e_notes regarding this topic show an extreme lack of knowlegde regarding music from Detroit and it's quality and to prove this I need only say one name ....Kenny Dixon jr....ever heard of him????? ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
