I wasn't having a go at Mills. His skill and ingenuity has had a huge influence on techno and dance music as a whole. What I'm saying is, plenty of ppl have access to production equipment these days and the dj/producer is becoming more and more common. Anyone, can be innovative, but the truely innovative producers today aren't the ppl that are getting the respect. Mills has been a lot better in the past. Concerning pushing the boundaries forward, I s'pose music is about the feel, not necessarily technical skill. It's more about the ingenuity of it's creator. A lot of reviewers give tunes respect e.g. because they've used a full orchestra instead of sampled strings and stuff... which is good, but it doesn't always work. I think a lot of this experimental stuff is a load of parp. Few 'experimental' tunes actually push the boundaries forward. However, a lot of big names are getting respect for stuff that I could throw together... (I'm not so good by the way...:). How do they get away with that? Does that mean that once you're famous you don't have to try anymore? Dj Pacific:) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
