nice reviews tristan, thanks. ><rant>A lot of people seem to be getting really lazy with their Theo >Parrish/Moodymann comparisons. There is a whole lot more Detroit house out >there than those two, and while I love them, the overuse of them as 'style >markers' is becoming nearly epidemic! Apologies for the rant, it's just that >it's almost like these two fellas have become marketing icons in the >underground, and it cheeses me off a bit to see a record like the above >lazilly lumped in with them when it clearly sounds a whole lot more like >NJB.</rant>
Yes. I agree! although, I presume record shops do this to try and sell more records (or is that what you're saying). For example, MM and Theo Parrish way out sell most 'underground' stuff, so I guess shops use them as comparisons in the hope that the hundreds who buy their records might get on something less well known. Must be frustrating though for some record shop people. For example, I know heads into electronica who will buy every theo parrish/moodymann record going, but they wouldn't touch other 'deep house' records, or garage records with a barge-pole. or any of the disco re-issues for that matter.. (which I find quite funny really). Imagine, you've got a great record you want to push and try and sell a few copies of, and people keep knocking it back cos it ain't from detroit or whatever. frustrating. alex _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
