There are always people within any genre who want the "scene" as it were to become more recognised, but for me personally, I love it the way it is. We can all discuss music we love with ease, plus we can also buy it very easily due to the Internet. Perhaps the only thing missing are the clubs themselves which are so integral to the music itself. I think I can vouch for most people who will agree that the atmosphere in clubs has changed markedly in the last 5 years, and although there are shining outposts dotted around the place, most of us will come out of a club with reservations, rather than walking out stupefied with bliss.
Or perhaps it's the onset of old age. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Maughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 12:58 PM Subject: Re: [313] Is Electronic Music dying?
