Yeah, the whole wave thing is a tad confusing, maybe we should put mixes
yeah..i think i am with robin on the waves thing...but more mixes/comps
would be cool yes ;P kinda like retakes on the original "Techno" comps, 10+
years later, which is not a bad idea at all...for those who like history :P
(aka classics ! haha)
On the question of BS, well - how else to you get someone to read your
"blog" without kicking off about something or getting something wonderfully
wrong.
haha good point..altho i do get what he's saying about some music being so
reverential that it doesnt push things forward much, tho i dunno if i would
use the word "reduction"...not everyone is an originator/"innovator" :P this
is really such a typical notion of techno "fans" (and many producers..),
techno has to keep "progressing" and new styles and blah blah blah, but i
think innovation is highly overrated. its important but only as an
afterthought, y'know just basic unique ideas and expressions, creativity are
whats most important to any music imo, it's what leads to innovation i
guess..it's a natural process, but its not natural to expect innovation at
every turn...and besides, legacy is important...without all that stuff he
writes off as "reduction", b12, terrace, etc etc...i mean that stuff -- and
detroit-influenced stuff in general -- plays/played an important part in
building upon the detroit "myth", and in keeping the sound alive and
current/fresh etc...without that dialogue happening, all you have is
time-compartmentalized (issat a word?) music, which is a shame and against
the spirit of music to begin with imo...some people's tastes change, are
more impatient than others' i guess...yeah anyways...bad idea to write this
early in am haha
