Yes, I understand your point of view too...Long & repetitive structures are
generaly more into an atmospheric track, and fast changes structures into
some tracks with hights moments...true...the best way is to find both of
these sides in one tracks...probably the most difficult thing to do...
I think that a guy like Kenny larkin is able to do that.

Hi Fabrice
I think my subsequent emails to the list may have clarified matters, but
just in case, what I meant by pop was nothing to do with popularity and not
really much to do with innovation. Fundamentally I used it as a word to
contrast the way in which people write songs, i.e. some songs have rapid
changes that give you a real sudden high moments, others change extremely
slowly and build an atmosphere. Obviously this isn't the only set of poles
between which music can be aligned, but I happened to be thinking this way
about it this morning in my perpetual quest to understand music.:)
Best
Dan.
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....

I don't know how old it is, but in terms of style it easily could be.
Haven't heard the album yet, so I can't comment on the rest of the new
material, but this track certainly couldn't be described as a massive
leap forward or new direction for him.
I personally don't have a problem with this since the 'old fashioned'
skill of making a well constructed and composed tune (in other words
writing a pop song) gives me as much listening pleasure as wondrous and
startling developments in the process of song making (see K-Led for a
prime example of the former).
As Fabrizio was saying the other day, there seems to be an interest in
past forms from many 313 producers at the moment, maybe this is because
they are into writing pop songs at the moment - something that seems
much more prevalent in the older soul and funk 313 styles.
Any avowed futurists out there who are dismayed by this 'retrograde'
activity?
