yeah i think it stems from the fact that it's kinda necessary to categorise for the purposes of record buying. trouble is it should stop there before you play any of it... a whole set of one type of track is just not interesting to me (and from the disillusionment i hear) to other people too... an aside: i saw Umek on 4 decks at EasternBloc (a record shop) on saturday and while what he did was impressive (3 vinyls going at any one point) it just wasn't that interesting. i think he was getting at what hawtin aims at at the moment with layers etc. but it revolves around the same kind of track being played back to back with another of that type... gimme bone on 3 decks anyday! robin... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
