>Nah, it's not obligatory to like Drexciya/Hood, just advisable! Hmmm, I've only ever bought 2 records by Robert Hood. Nighmare World Vol 1 and The Protien Valve EP, neither of which have been played for several years. The only records by Jeff Mills I've liked enough in recent years to want to own and listen to at home have been his Every Dog 12s and the Metropolis LP, in fact I haven't really been into his music since the very first Purpose Maker Stuff. I'm not sure how 'advisable' it has to be to like these artists. I personally find much of thier techno pretty boring these days to be quite honest and whilst I dont profess to be any sort of authority on Mills or Hood these days I cant help feeling that their techno hasn't really moved on that much since the term 'minimal looped techno' was coined. In fact the last thing by Robert Hood I was sent was his rendition of 'The Greatest Dancer' which was quite frankly awful.
So there you go, I can, believe it or not, quite honestly and proudly profess to be a lover of good and pure techno who ignores most of the music that Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Richie Hawtin and many other artists currently put out. But show me something from Mike Banks, Matthew Puffett, Duplex, Delsin Records, Carl Craig, Fabrice Lig, Dennis DeSantis.....etc..and I'll lap it up. I guess its just a matter of taste, One man's funk is another man's squaredance. On the topic of Minto's comments recently about Dan Curtin's recent return to form I can also confirm that he's due to drop a wicked remix on Digital Soul Records in the next couple of months (see below for details) and I have been told that there is some excellent unreleased stuff from him currently doing the rounds. Coming soon on Digital Soul DS05: Brien Prince: Strokes of Defience DS06: Splinterfaction: Ulturism 2 featuring Dan Curtin, Fabrice Lig and $tinkworx DS07: $tinkworx: Aadena EP DS08: John Harvey (Dimension 5): Formation one EP DS09: Derek Carr: Untitled featuring Anthony Shakir Cheers Stewart www.digital-soul.co.uk _______________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime, only £13.99 per month with one month's FREE trial!
