Totally agree with you Arne !!!
And anyway...what is Pop music, what is underground music...? No answer...I
think pop means popular...so a track become popular after lots of people
appreciate or buy it...
After that, if each track which is melodic and no repetitive is a pop
track...ok we are all doing pop tracks...
I completely understand these words about Kenny's album...Its the same for
me, on the new one there is a vocal track...like the last 12'' on
Raygun...some people already called that "techno pop" ;-) ?...so Big fun
from Innercity was one of the first techno pop song...the same for Strings
of life...Black Water last year... and these tracks are amazing !
I think Kenny (or I, and I suppose I'm right if I say its the same for you
too Arne) are not thinking about anything regarding pop song or not...we are
just doing what we want/we like...and of course if one of our track becomes
popular, its great to share it with other people...I think that music is
made to be shared...as a dj or a producer...There is a lot of producers who
are not thinking further than finish a track and see what happens...

I can't understand why you are talking about pop songs? I don't know if you
heard this new track by Kenny but I only can say that I don't see the pop
appeal in this tune.....
Like you said, it's not the next new style he is inventing here but I also
don't think that this was his goal. If you mean pop song as a track with a
message and a certain feel than this new track from Kenny is pop, okay! If
you mean an airplay compatible tune then you're wrong, sorry! it's a
"retro" (I hate that word!) housey piano track with a smooth feel and nice
melodies. Not more but also not less! I still think the most important
thing in music is if you get an impression, a feel, an athmosphere when you
listen to tracks. Having a mesage is much more important that having
invented a new style without what we call soul.
I don't need the newest super-duper mega software generated synthesizer
sound if it doesn't catch my ear and most important my mind and soul....
