this guy is no image-maker. i mean he's a skinny bald white guy with a >quiet demeanor.
Uh, isn't that an image right there? It's hard now not to recognize his mug. He's been on the cover of every major music magazine, in tv commercials, giant clothing adverts, not to mention MTV rotation. He is an image maker. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
he still is pushing electronic music to greater levels.
A better thing to figure out is whether he is opening doors for others and/or inspiring others to create music.
Some of his music is beautiful but I feel it's rather simple... there aren't any big surprises in it. It's very baroque in it's attitude. It's catchy and pop tinged and if that's what he wants to do then so be it. Pop tunes can be useful and meaningful to some. It's not something I would purchase because I find that after two or three listens I've discovered everything there is about the tune. Some people might still consider him techno... he certainly doesn't (he's told me this personally). I'm actually really tired of figuring out whether someone is techno or not... call it what you will. Or as D.May titled it: "It is what it is".
