he sent me two acetates about a year or so ago and they were far far from being "basic channel style dub with roland strings on top"; they were quite excellent, actually, and the material still sounds fresh to this day. I listened to the acetates that you debuted on your show and I would say like his previous material on Matrix I hear a distinct Basic Channel influence, there's also a string and pad element. Of course, the real audio quality on your show was poor so I could be mistaken. listen to his tracks on matrix's digital sects 2 compilation and they still sound fresh 7 years later. I am very familiar with his work on the Matrix label and it is exceptional. As far as sounding fresh 7 years later I think your being modest with that statement. Has it been 7 years? Damn, that was a long time ago. his full length is taking so long because he's got tons of tracks done and keeps recording more and more. Thats not what I hear, but of course you are a reliable source one would think. word is that this album will be a *variety* of styles, not just tech-house. convextion is too talented to settle for "copying"; That's good to know, I hope certain other American tech-house producers (who like to work with "textures") take note when this album actually does come out. i'm sure the album will be extremely impressive. hope this clears things up. thanks. andrew duke :) Your not the only one with high expectations. This is the follow up to those highly successful Convextion records on Matrix. thanks, stephen. PS, play more John Tejada on your Cognition Audio works show
