Actually Luke Slaters All Exhale is getting high praise from the progressive house-funky breaks crowd. These are the people who like dj keoki, dj icey, rabbit in the Moon, the Crystal Method ect...ect.... they pretty much dominate the club and rave scene where I live.
If Luke is sick of the elitist-starving artist-purist techno community and all the political snobbery associated with the underground techno scene, I can understand him selling out. Why not experiment with electronica, maybe those trend hungry raver kids in the US will make you a millionaire. After all, nobody complained when the Aphex Twin conformed to trend. i guess he could've jumped on that tech house/ Basic Channel imitation bandwagon but too many people are doing that and this is probably more fun and profitable. later, spw. np: switched on rock - the moog machine was a minute ago np: fat albert - beat me til i jack trak head wrote: > >>Luke Slater's new album Wireless is just the shit.
