"Madonna, Pulp, Pete Tong and the Pet Shop Boys are all fans."
So - anyone's guess as to what their next albums will sound like?

Dear All
It seems to me that this could well be just another bandwagon to jump onto,
however, if music like this can make it into the charts then it can't be
too
much of a bad thing. The test will be if the artists can remain true to
themselves and not be manipulated by the majors, who no doubt will be
dangling a fat carrot in their faces, hmmm, will they resist?
Anyways the album DJ Hell released, Munich Machine on Disko B, was in this
vein and an excellent example of techno music. Ididn't see this listed in
the article, someone didn't do their homework. At the time I thought it was
quiet groundbreaking. Music should be fun, makes you move makes you groove.
It certainly is not about a lot of moody blokes skulking in corners nodding
their heads, discussing the technical merits and being underground. Perhaps
this stuff will make techno heard by many others and thus it can't be a bad
thing.
Personally I like the stuff DJ Hell has been putting out on his gigolo
label, right now I'm listening to that Tiga Mix just out and some tracks
are
great, some are very tongue in cheek. If this music can inject a bit of fun
into the techno scene then I'm sure it'll work outside of it. Time will
tell. Good luck to all.
Cheers Shosh ;)
