I'm kind of all opinioned out at the moment. I will say that the records that work, work because they somehow partake of the mystical sea of un-suckiness, in ways that transcend production techniques, sound design, hair styles, whoring publicists and the rest. Rob Hood has made a lot of tracks using sounds from his Yamaha QY70, which is a book sized thinger with a sequencer and minimal builtin sounds. In the hands of anyone else, it would sound like cheap crap. Some of the best techno tracks are incredibly simple, but most people either overcomplicate their music, or make simple tracks that sound dumb. The best tracks always have something great about them that can't be decomposed into production technique or melodies or basslines.
