Hi Patrick!
There was a recent Model 500 released on R & S:
http://www.discogs.com/Model-500-OFI-Remixes/release/2717435
&
http://www.discogs.com/Model-500-OFI-Huesca/master/281013
I would have thought myself, that they would want to "restart" the label
with a "bang". While I do
like the new Metroplex release, for my own pidgeon holes that I put
music into, it doesn't sound like
a Metroplex release to me.
I personally would have waited for the upcoming Model 500 Album that is
discussed here:
http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=15139
to start off the label with. That would have had a bigger "bang". But
everybody runs their label their
own way :)
Cheers from the P-Town...
Dave

Didn't Model 500 'Live' have a new track or two in their repertoire?
Haven't seen them for a while, so i'm unclear...

an alternative view: maybe "new" and "model 500" seem like they
shouldn't go together?
while some may not love this newest metroplex, for people to say this
doesn't sound like detroit techno, 1) does it matter to you what the
guy whose style detroit techno is thinks ??? 2) perhaps sounds more
techno to mine ear than certain of the latest transmats...
in any case... all the feedback i read makes me think: "womp, womp".
and for anything a little more like listening music or experimental
not to be detroit techno... ridiculous and retarded are words that
come to mind when trying to describe that point of view.

I was kind of hoping that Metroplex would come out strong with a new
Model 500 or something?

It doesn't sound like Detroit Techno. It's closer to some of the more
experimental stuff at the fringes of dance music. It isn't bad, per
se, it just doesn't have that immediate emotional hook.
I try my own work, to try to find rhythms I find compelling and
combine that with tonal material that has some emotional resonance for
me personally. Whether or not I succeed with respect to others is an
open question, but that is what I'm trying.
In contrast there's a whole world of music out there that combines
repetitive beats with what sounds to me like academic electro-acoustic
music. That is not the way to get people runway-jacking on the New
Dance Show, but I don't reject it out of hand. I like some of that
stuff a lot -- Pansonic, the stuff on Taylor Dupree's 12K label, tim
hecker...
But it's not something I recognize as being anywhere close to Detroit Techno.

kent, you are being very nice...I am proud of you. I am reserving all
comment about this recording.
