Actually I'm well aware of Keith Tucker's influence and especially the impact Puzzlebox Records has had on the history of Detroit Techno.I own many in the catalogue. Considering the medium that the review was written for, a track listing of the CD is listed RIGHT BELOW the review. In contrast to a magazine where the track listing is not given. Writing a review for a magazine and the website that this particular review was meant for are two diff't mediums that call for two diff't kinds of writing. When I write for this particular website my track listing and artist listing isn't quite as lengthy b/c details of the CD in FULL are listed below the review. On the other hand I DID write up the Intuit party for two glossy mags and DID make sure to mention keith AND puzzle box records. The reason I did is b/c I wanted readers who might not have been aware of the connection to learn of it and hopefully do the math in their heads. I don't post things that I write on the list for critism-if you are going to do it in the future I'd appreciate it if you did it privately; as some people did.Trust me, I pine over the stuff I write enough and I am still learning. I post things on the list I write b/c I know there are people who lurk who are still learning and want to learn. By saying such things you not only help to silence me, but also them in a way too. My ONLY mission with writing about music has been to show and teach people about a form of music I am so passionate about. In that process my knowledge continues as well.It's a very fortunate process both ways. If there is one thing to be understood-I NEVER post for the promotion of me (err..unless its UNWIND or a Thinkbox event:)).
Please, next time you post such a harsh statement in ALL caps think about who you are CCing, how you are saying it and if you really know the person behind the original post.Don't be so quick to hit. oh...and thanks Dan :) Thanks and the best to you, Diana --- T Mind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yOU LEFT OUT ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL KEITH > TUCKER.....BOY WHEN YOU > PEOPLE LIKE YOUR ARTIST THAT'S ALL YOU FOCUS ON..... > > > >From: diana potts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: enlighten <313@hyperreal.org> > >Subject: [313] Blueprint Review > >Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 12:08:36 -0800 (PST) > > > >Fresh off the keyboard...i figured it'll be on the > >site soon anways... > >enjoy and as a mr.Burton once said "...but you > don't > >have to take my word for it..." > > > >d > > > > > > > > > >Comin' from the D, Blueprint > > > >For many in Detroit, the first introduction to > >ghetto-tech (known as "booty" in its rawest forms) > >came via the Detroit based radio station WJLB. > Their > >late night broadcasts from the now defunct > nightspot, > >Legends, made the heavy bass and in-your-face > lyrics > >synonymous with a classic, Detroit night on the > town. > >Eventually the music leaked into the suburbs, > >appearing at underground parties and started to > evolve > >as a solid break-off of classic electro.
