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?
And another thing - once you're famous, does that mean you don't have to
create danceable music anymore? The groove matters, and if these producer/dj
names that WE all respect and love are not in some way also endeared to the
younger generation, how can we expect them not to lose their way? Granted,
the "scene" isn't what it used to be, but then we all knew that would occur
- and since mainstream acceptance in the states seems to be some way off
yet, shouldn't these artists continue to stay in touch with underground/rave
culture? (Uh oh, now I've said it...)
When Carl Craig performed Paperclip People live for me in December, there
were WAY too few people who were into it - and the Paperclip People material
is generally much more digestible to the average partykid than much of the
music we're talking about here.
