here here!! bravo!
techno fans can be such anal retentive geeks who treat music like science!
innovation is well and good, new styles ok,
but i am really just looking for real ideas and expressions, its about "deep
music period" as some foolio once said ;) i'll be listening to "traditional
detroit styles" till i die as long as its stuff with original ideas,
personality and soul in it, and there is infinite room for this to continue
for a long time. when it comes down to it im most excited by great basslines
and melodies that i havent heard before, not entirely new sounds or styles
(altho sometimes those too, but its much rarer!). i think techno IS maturing
tho and this will become a more natural and relaxed thing to focus more on
depth, and not so schizophrenic (and trendy), as we all get older.
ok, drexciya might not be inspired or getting new ideas to use with their
old sounds/style, and are getting a kick off new technology etc, but im not
gonna automatically like "wavejump-glitch" or whetever just because its
"fresh"...
of course i am excited and checking their new stuff all the same, and
there's no accounting for taste..

I think there is a strange phenomenon developing, with the acceleration of
technology and culture... it seems people are no longer content to let
artists develop and refine an original sound... instead, after two or three
years, people get upset if artists don't go somewhere new. Traditionally,
the time frame for developing as an artist was a lifetime. Now if someone
does the same thing for ten years they are considered boring! I think it
is unfair to expect artists and genres to develop at such a quick rate.
And, if you haven't figured it out, I don't think techno is dying at all.
It's just a little too much to expect that the boundaries will ALWAYS be
getting pushed to some extreme year after year. Sometimes periods where
art matures are good too, and may in the end produce some of the most
refined and substantial works. Just my opinion...

They're pushing the boundaries all the time.
Yes, I agree entirely....far too many techno artists have become way too
complacent and just content to ape the traditional Detroit styles.
Far to many people expect to much from techno artists to...
