I went today. I thought it was brief. Extremely brief. Techno Rebels seemed to cover it much better. There was very little music, mostly brief speeches with Atkins, Fowkles, May and Saunderson when you pressed the buttons on the display. Records and equipment on display. I think it would have been more interesting to have gone in depth. Just how did Techno influence the world's music. Maybe show how exactly a record gets cut. How the music gets made, etc. Submerge's influence with their philosophy. I think the lay person wouldn't know anything about that or the musical instruments. Think about it beyond keyboards, guitars, drums, does the average person knows what the samplers, etc. do?
On a side note the museum was selling a documentary DVD that had Atkins and May in it, among others. I forgot the title. It wasn't The Drive Home. It costs $34.95 at the museum. Anyone seen it yet? on 01/19/03 11:32 PM, Dan Sicko at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I went opening night and couldn't hear anything ... there wasn't *any* > music? I'm definitely surprised at that one.
