For the record :
the original email was in no way ment to incite racisim or from a
racist standpoint
But also for the record :
The orig. thread re: avant guarde techno...all of the artists mentioned as
being avant are white!...and to say that Detroit is in a slump or
"letting people down" etc...etc.. is not only an insult to those
African/American artists whose music changed the world, but also slaps them in
the face by now saying the white artist from overseas are now better!
Attention: Kraftwerk are amazing artists and have a style solely their own
(my point here...)..{oh yeah what would you call expo 2000...)
but Detroits techno influences albeit with a dab of Kraftwerk are mostly
other Black musicains/artists....can we say Pfunk or George Clinton?
Take for instantance ..Jimmy Hendrix, for those who appericate/understand
what he did, realize : though he had many influences ..his own music was
solely his own ..no one played ,produced , or had his style ..his music was
not a copy of his influences...thats what made him Hendrix
The truth convicts those who aren't within it..techno is not just a form of
music but an ideal ! Take all your lekabush's ,corolla's and even Cox's
and compare them to the innovaters ..the regular guys from Detroit who did it
from their basements in mostly "Ghetto"(an overused and misunderstood word)
areas with limited resorces and most importantly they did it without selling
their soul to an record label/company .....
see [313] Prince speaks for more of the truth
~PEACE unto you all....
