what kind of issues do you have with this letter and these ideas ? back in '88 derrick may says the same thing in an interview in UK mag music technology, specifically that he and other first wave producers used mostly fairly simple technology that was in no way the latest or state of the art at the time, and that the ideas behind the music were more important. i guess the name itself is problematic, but it never meant that the music was just about using the newest technology. cripes that classics not classics 2 acid mix 2 is excellent - thanks so much ! ! ! that has made my day so far ! ! ! p-dogg
