Martin, good point about "the myth of them not being able to play."
I do think the DIY aspect of punk was very positive, and that DIY spirit continues to inspire many electronic musicians of all sorts. However, it's interesting to note that DIY approach was actually pioneered by jazz musicians already in the 1950's and 60's, by artists like Sun Ra, Charles Mingus, and the members of Chicago's AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians). It does make me wonder if any of the original Detroit techno artists were aware of their predecessors. ~David On Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 10:09 AM, Martin Dust <mar...@dustscience.com> wrote: > > Talcy Malc did rip off a hell of a lot of dada and situationism but he didn't > try to hide it. > He tried some of it on the New York Doll but it didn't work or stick. > > It's interesting that the myth of them not being able to play still continues, > Jones, Cook, and Matlock could all play very well. > > I think the key part about punk for me was that it was about getting up and > having a go. > > Here's the names and addresses of the studio's, pressing plants and venues > --- GO > > m
