>mmm, well I too question all that talk about them. at the time I always >thought they were boring and, let's say, a bit proggy! yes, I remember them >as elp in kraftwerk suits, ah ah.
>lots of good people are influenced by bad stuff, it's their thing and we do >not have to be exposed to it directly ok, someone in desperate search for credibility, like 'i listened to kraftwerk when i was 5'. there is no question if ymo are influential or not, they definitely were and everyone (ask john acqauaviva, for example) who knows their music also knows that they were not a copy of kraftwerk, rather a fusion of european synth sound with their own native influences. also, there's a lot of irony (or a kind of 'pretended' naivity) in their music, which some people probably do not like i also think that the sample in rob hood's 'rhythm' was a hommage not a kind of rip off and, it's not the correct way to listen to music saying 'i downloaded some tracks and thought it was a bit like this and a bit like that, all in all not my cup of tea', as much good music takes a while to get into, and i know many examples also and especially in the world of detroit techno. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
