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
