On my part I apologise for not thinking out my post or expressing myself clearly on that occasion. I was trying to put another point of view - or put something in another context. I personally enjoy the other viewpoints on the list, even when and if I don't agree with them, it helps me get a sense of the bigger picture or even re-think my opinions, which is healthy for me. I was raised to respect other viewpoints and backgrounds and I do try to be relatavistic most of the time (OK, except when Moby comes up) and veer away from anything personal - I think that is key.
I want to be very clear on the fact that I am very happy and excited about the DEMF line-up and very much looking forward to it. It was not my intention to criticise it in any way. I understand the concept and respect it. I also enjoy many of the artists who may not be on the DEMF whose names come up. Sometime this weekend I will offer a detailed post with some new release info to make up for the inadvertently vacuous content of this. It's all good Chris. Hopefully we have a new respect and understanding of where we are coming from now, corny as that sounds. Apologies to all once again.
