I am really shocked how quick you guys judge and condemn. I mean, talk to the guy yourself if you're burning to have your questions answered. He replies to every email you send him.

This is a great post. and maybe someone should send him some stuff. I always wonder if derrick does check all the new records. I too can't work out whether he's feeling the new stuff or not. From the c**p rent-a-quote comments he comes out with, I really can't believe he does. Like you said though, he might just not be feeling it at all. It has been a great year for techno, but I tell you what, I know for a fact that 2004 will see better music coming from techno people. honestly. some of the stuff I'm hearing on cd-r's is just head and shoulders above what came out last year, really really strong quality stuff. here's a weird one though. Alot of stuff I've heard that will be out in 2004, blows away anything derrick put out on transmat lately - head and shoulders above it. so maybe that makes me think he isn't looking properly. I wish he wasn't so f**king arrogant though, he comes across as a right twat. I kind of thought that after john osselars interview too. a shame, as he's someone I've always held up as a bit of a hero, and someone I always will. so, anyway, back to the point.... I'm gonna send him a cd. 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.
