Ive thought about this before. When I waa going pout in the late 80s early 90s I never once remember thinking 'man all this music is kinda slow', but now when I play some of the older stuff theres an automatic impulse to wanna pitch it up. I guess the transition is so gradual that you dont notice it happening, but the knock on effect is I probably jerk my body in various rhthmic motions at least twice as often in the course of a night now than I did 10 years ago! I blame Lenny Dee and his so called gabba techno! Nothing seemed fast enough after that era!
