Re: [313] techno books/postmodernism (was UR in Europe)
I would disagree with this post. "Techno Rebels" tries to write "a history" of techno. I would agree that at points Kodwo does drift into a poetic phase, but "More Brilliant..." achieve what no other book on electronic music has done, to try and translate the perception of music into words. it is an extremely theoretical read. In the end I guess we will have to agree to disagree, I am glad that someone other than myself has read both books and can give a coherently process the information and not just regurgitate it. I would suggest that if you are interested in learning some history of techno check out "Techno Rebels", but if you are more interested in theory than check out "More Brilliant than the Sun". P.s. the tactics in the other book you mentioned about postmodernism are just modernist arguments against postmodernism.

Re: Ax-020
Don't you people get tired of hearing all that echo and reverb? Never. This was in reference to the Deepchord releases I presume. Yes it is very old ingredients, but when the finished product is simply good dubbed out techno, who cares what its context is. Isolee uses these same ingredients and it works. I know the funky organic tech-house sound is very trendy right now, people use the word "soulful" like its going out of style but who do you think your kidding? I'm sure Kevin, Juan, and Derrick could have easily looped disco classics on some primitave one shot sampler if they really wanted to, Yes I agree that tech-house has become very trite, but they should not be compared to early detroit techno. Kevin, Juan, and Derrick are good producers and important for techno, but to try to discredit another music by saying that they could have easily made, is useless.

Re: [313] techno books/postmodernism (was UR in Europe)
To my awareness there has only been one book that has dealt exclusively with Detroit techno. That is Dan Sicko's 'Techno Rebels'. There are a handful of music or recording guides on the topic, but the only other major book I know of that has discussed Detroit techno at length is "More Brilliant than the Sun" By Kodwo Eshun. Dan obviously has a long and direct contact with the scene. He takes a historical, just the facts approach and is especially strong on the origins. I was so glad to see this book come out for several reasons. One is that there actually _exists_ a book about this music. It's so easy for things to be forgotten with the passing of time. Another reason is that I think many people don't know the true story and this book, in its no-nonsense approach, is the simplest way to set the record straight. Despite the books clarity, there are still people who have read it, and think that it is 'just' a book about Detroit's post-disco scene, or that it should have covered more on 'goa trance'. [see amazon.com customer reviews] Sure, the book doesn't talk much about techno's later development in Europe and elsewhere, but I think that is the book's strength. There will be plenty of other people out there who will write those stories. The book doesn't really talk much about the equipment and techniques. Same again. The other thing we might want a music book to write about is the music's structure and what it is like to listen to. Well, this is the difficult one, isn't it? I'm reminded here of something Brian Eno (I think) said. It was 'writing about music is like dancing about architecture'. Also, Wittgenstein said 'of that which we cannot speak, we must pass over in silence'. A moments reflection on this topic reveals to me that the best way to get an idea of what the music is like is to actually listen to it, of course. That, by the way, is not to say that reading about it is fundamentally flawed, or not useful or desirable, just secondary in many cases to careful and repeated listening. Some obvious examples when we need writing about music is with reviews, when we are trying to decide what to buy, when we are trying to explain to people unfamiliar with the music, the kind of reasons we are on this list, or perhaps when we are trying to make a more permanent record for the purposes of history, as in Dan Sicko's case. Since most (but not all) of the recordings are readily available, it makes sense in the case of Techno Rebels to put in a good discography and leave it at that. Kodwo Eshun's book is very different, on the other hand. The subject matter is mostly about D'n'B, dub, hip-hop, jazz, with Detroit techno one style among many. I got excited about this book because it brought together a lot of music, primarily black music, that I was really into. [I'll talk about this book a little here, but forgive me, my copy is in another country right now.] In the 1st chapter Kodwo says something about most dance music journalism being a mean and insubstantial list of names, labels and DJ charts. I tend to agree. He goes to a kind of opposite extreme to Dan's book, I think attempting to recreate the experience of listening in words. He also coins a whole lot of new scientific sounding compound words (e.g. technorhythmachine) and seems to be aligned with postmodern methods of analysis. This, at least for me, is fun to read to a certain extent, but I think it runs into the problems that are hinted at in Eno and Wittgenstein's thoughts. Jared Wilson wrote: > Sent: Monday, July 31, 2000 10:21 PM > Subject: Re: [313] UR in Europe > Also check out "More Brilliant than the Sun" By Kodwo Eshun.

Well, maybe postmodernism is more sophisticated in a way, but sometimes I think at the expense of clarity and common sense. A few months ago I read 'Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals Abuse of Science' by Sokal and Bricmont. I regard this as absolutely essential reading to anyone interested in postmodernism. In this book a number of leading postmodernists (Lacan, Baudrillard, Deleuze, Virilio, etc) are roundly criticized for the following: "1) Holding forth at length on scientific theories about which one has, at best an exceedingly hazy idea. The most common tactic is to use scientific (or pseudo-scientific) terminology without bothering much much about what the words actually mean. 2) Importing concepts from the natural sciences into the humanities or social sciences without giving the slightest conceptual or empirical justification... 3) Displaying a superficial erudition by shamelessly throwing around technical terms in a context where they are completely irrelevant... 4) Manipulating phrases and sentences that are, in fact, meaningless." I think Eshun is guilty of at least a few of these failures. The only way out then is to

I wasn't saying that Farley is a saint in this matter, of course not. All the "Deep house"-side tracks on that No vocals necessary LP I mentioned are cover versions from original 70's discocuts for example. These questions of stealing and borrowing are a shady matter in dancemusic. Sony trying to make an exact replicate of UR's "Jaguar", and make lots of money out of it, is taken much more seriously because Sony is a huge company (that could buy small African countries if it wanted to) that's clearly ripping a small label. In Chicago scene there was basically just competition between DJ's, everyone's trying to be the hottest DJ in town. Funny thing is that what was "innocent" ripping between DJs became the root of bitterness when the bigger labels (and money) got involved. I bet "Love can't turn around" on TRAX and HOUSE (not to mention licences) sold much more than "I can't turn around" on RCA, so in this case multiple smaller companies actually took money from bigger label's hand, because Farley's track came first. And I doubt if "I can't turn around" had been released earlier it would have been any better success. Love can't... is simply more superior track, that's the reason for it's success. And what about Knuckles ripping J. Principle? There's another classic situation who gets his/her name on the labels. I see the early Chicago track- & editculture very similar to the Jamaican rhythm tradition, where everybody's making a VERSION of a common rhythm-theme. It's when someone's makin a buck out of it that rings a bell. Proffit Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [313] Modulations + Dancing in the Streets
I transcribed part of Derrick May's words from 'Planet Rock', the final episode of the BBC series 'Dancing in the Streets': 'It's sad, in the 20th century, in the 1990's, we have to still go the same bullshit route that other black artists have had to go to get acceptance. Because we're not entertaining bouffant idiots, we have to go someplace else to be accpeted, and that's absolute bullshit. If it wasn't for the independents, for the small, dinky little cities, and the few little ghetto black guys trying to make music, it would have never happened. As quite as it's kept some of these guys will never make a dime. Some of these guys will be poor and die alone. But in the process, they've been the true renegades, and the true rebels always walk alone anyway.' peace out, florian

Re: [313] Re: Ax-020
Judging by the records you mentioned, it looks like you prefer the -less- intricate and more banging/harder records. This explains the preference to older mills material, some of which was pretty damn hard. I like the new Axis, it's mellow and pleasant. I wouldn't say it's dramatically innovative though, and (for example) the deep moments in 'From the 21st' are somehow deeper than in Ax20. Not every record can be the best. :) I still love my Detroit techno but I feel the need for the intricate sound structures that Aaron describes - I'm still overlistening the Isolee album, the Pub:Summer mixes are dope, and Shake's stuff is just too damn funky.
