5. Sean Deason 'Allegory and Metaphor'

8. Transmat compilation
9. Mayday Mix CD
10. Kooky Scientist 'Unpopular Science'

I was pretty much amazed. Strictly as an observer, of course. I
support artists by buying CDs and records, whenever possible.

We could debate sharing mp3s but let's not.

Q isn't on the vinyl LP but it is on the 7" that came with it.  I think
it's a different mix than the one on the CD.  You also get the track

None of these items are particularly easy to find. A copy of the 2x12"
LP *with* the complimentary 7" single which was originally included,
must be all but impossible. The cd would appear to be the most likely
option so I'll look out for that, especially given my new-found penchant
for digitally dubbing things on to MD and marvelling at the clarity of
the mix-downs ... 

Speaking of hard-to-find, there's a copy of Minimal Nation on ebay at
the moment  I'm not even bothering to look!

(313) Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds

2005-01-05 Thread Simon Vrebos
I'm reading 'Energy Flash' by Simon Reynolds published by Picador (1998). In 
this book and more specific in chapter eight entitled 'The Future Sound Of 
Detroit' I read some 'interesting' viewpoints for discussion. Here's the entire 
last part of the chapter:

KEEPING THE FAITH

Jeff Mills belongs to a tradition of black scholar-musicians and autodidacts: 
Sun Ra, Anthony Braxton, Derrick May, DJ Spooky. Instead of inspiring 
thoughtless, sweaty fun, Mills believes dance music should be the vehicle for 
lofty intellectualism and weighty-verging-on-ponderous concepts. ‘Let me be 
very very clear,’ he says, with the barest hint of annoyance. ‘Underground 
Resistance wasn’t militant, nor was it angry... I’m not angry now... The music 
that I make now has absolutely nothing to do with colour. It has nothing to do 
with man/woman, East/West, up/down, but more [to do with] “the mind”. The mind 
has no colour... There’s this perception that if you’re black and you make 
music, then you must be angry. Or you must be “deep”. Or you must be out to get 
money and women. Or you must be high when you made that record. It’s one of the 
four. And the media does a really good job of staying within those four 
categories. But in these cases, it’s neither of those.’
To which you might respond, what’s left? If you remove race, class, gender, 
sexuality, the body and the craving for intoxication from the picture, what 
exactly remains to fuel the music? Just the ‘pure’ play of ideation.
 The result is music that appeals to a disinterested and disembodied 
consciousness. The formalism of minimal techno has some parallels with 
minimalism in the pictorial arts and in avant-classical composition; both have 
been critiqued as spiritualized evasions of political reality, as attempts to 
transcend the messy and profane realm of History and Materiality in the quest 
for the ‘timeless’ and territorially unbounded.
If the musical legacy of Derrick May and Jeff Mills is largely unimpeachable, 
the mentality they have fathered throughout the world of 'serious' techno is, I 
Believe, a largely pernicious influence. This anti-Dionysian mindset favours 
elegance over energy, serenity over passion, restraint over abandon. It's a 
value system shared by Detroit purists both within the Motor City and across 
the globe. In Detroit itself, artists like Alan Oldham, Stacey Pullen/Silent 
Phase, Kenny Larkin, Dan Curtin, Claude Young, Jay Denham, Marc Kinchen, 
Terence Dixon and John Beltran, uphold the tradition. Many of these producers 
were corralled on to a 1996 double CD compiled by Edie 'Flashin" Fowlkes, which 
he titled True People as a stinging rebuke to the rest of the world for daring 
to tamper with the Detroit blueprint. Detroit is living in denial. Techno has 
long since slipped out of its custodianship, the evolution-through-mutation of 
music has thrown up such mongrels as bleep-and-bass, Belgian hardcore, jungle, 
trance and gabba, all of which owe as much to other cities (the Bronx; 
Kingston, Jamaica; Dusseldorf; Sheffield; London; Chicago) as they do to 
Detroit. The ancestral lineage of Detroit has been contaminated by 'alien' 
genes; the music's been 'bastardized'. But lest we forget, illegitimate heirs 
tend to lead more interesting lives.
If anything, the idea and ideal of ‘Detroit’ is even stronger outside the city, 
thanks to British Detroit-purists. Leading lights in the realm of neo-Detroit 
‘abstract dance’ include the British labels Soma, Ferox, Ifach and Peacefrog, 
and producers like Peter Ford, Dave angel, Neil Landstrum, Funk D’Void, Ian 
O’Brien (who titled a track ‘Mad Mike Disease’ as a nod to the endemic 
influence of the UR/Red Planet maestro), The Surgeon, Russ Gabriel, Luke 
Slater, Adam Beyer and Mark Broom (whose alter ego Midnight Funk Association is 
named after the Electrifyin’ Mojo’s legendary Detroit radio show). It is a 
world where people talk not of labels but ‘imprints’, and funk is spelt ‘phunk’ 
to give it an air of, er, phuturism. One of the most vocal of the 
Detroit-acolytes is tech-jazz artist Kirk deGiorgio. From early efforts like 
‘Dance Intellect’ to his late nineties As One output, deGiorgio has dedicated 
himself to the notion that Detroit techno is the successor to the 
synth-oriented jazz-funk of fusioneers like Herbie Hancock and George Duke. ‘I 
never saw techno as anything else but a continuation of black music,’ he told 
Muzik magazine in 1997. ‘I didn’t think of it as any new kind of music. It was 
just that the technology and the sounds were different.’
This neo-conservative attitude – the self-effacing notion that white musicians 
like deGiorgio himself have nothing to add to black music; the idea that music 
never really undergoes revolutions – reminds me of nothing so much as the 
British blues-bore purists of the late sixties and early seventies. Actually, 
given that Detroit techno was a response to European electro-pop, we should 
really reverse the analogy: Atkins, Ma

RE: (313) Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds

2005-01-05 Thread Brendan Nelson
I disagree with Simon Reynolds here; he's arguing that an 
individual is solely defined by their race, class, gender, 
sexuality and whether or not they're planning on getting 
wasted. Human beings just aren't that simple. If someone 
says to me, "I'm a gay white male with a lower middle-class 
background and I don't take drugs", I still know barely 
anything about them. Aside from "pure ideation", there are 
a hell of a lot of other factors that come together to define 
an individual, and these myriad factors also help to shape 
whatever cultural output (including music) that individual 
produces.

If Reynolds was correct, music would be incredibly homogenous.
Another person who shared my racial/class background, my 
sexuality and my penchant for Guinness would make music almost 
identical to mine. But for some mysterious reason, there are 
people I grew up with who have *identical* backgrounds to me 
but who produce and listen to completely different forms of 
music. Weird, eh?

there's a moral here...never lend anyone any records or CDs. Even if they 
return them, their bound to be in worse nick that when you lent them, which can 
only lead to resentment (if that's not too much of an insight to my anal 
mindstate). Making compilations is much more fun anyway.

God, that's even worse than I remember.  It's not only pretentious and poorly 
articulated, it's just plain wrong.

I mean, most Detroit is about good plain fun, as opposed to a lot of the chin 
stroking madness these days (which I actually often like, but that's another 
discussion).  It's as if he judged Detroit techno solely based on a poorly 
written blurb on the sleeve of one of Jeff Mills records (apologies, Jeff) - 
and even there, the FUN/funk of the Wizard and his eclectic sets certainly 
makes good for any failed attempts at conceptual art on Jeff's record labels.

And not influenced by hiphop???  What an absurd notion.

there are maybe 5 people i would lend a record to, and theyre all

I think there's a place in the world for Simon Reynolds, but 
like most music journalists, he's essentially making a career 
out of sniping from the sidelines, and someone who does that 
for a living can only be seen as an inspiration by people who 
aspire to that sort of position.

I have to admit, I often prefer to read opinions (on music as 
well as other subjects) that conflict with my own; even though 
I'd ideally prefer these opinions to be better articulated than 
Simon Reynolds' often are!

We have discussed his "insights" at numerous points over the
years.  Basically, any music that doesn't fit his definition of
"hardcore" (a somewhat malleable concept) is only fit for
excision and derision.

All I can say about his dis on Jeff Mills is, every time I drop
a Mills track in a set, the floor jumps with the "pure play
of ideation."

(313) 2000 DEMF flyer

2005-01-05 Thread Barbara Deyo
Jamie LaTondresse (sp?) designed the flyer and the majority of the marketing
materials.  He was working at C-Pop at the time.  I know he has his own
gallery of sorts somewhere in the Detroit area - not exactly sure
what/where.  The painting image used on some of the marketing materials was
done by Tom Thewes (owner of C-Pop)

Re: (313) Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds

2005-01-05 Thread Ken Odeluga
I've not enough time to do a line-by-line consideration of what's been 
presented here, but *based solely on the short excerpt given here* and 
being what I consider to be an open-minded person, who nevertheless 
relishes an intellectual punch-up, I'd challenge anyone to defend most 
of what he says as more than sixth-form essay standard. It's a shame 
really, 'cause it's an important set of ideas which Reynolds addresses.


I am interested in reading the book though - I'd happy if he 
demonstrates that we're all wrong and he's right, and perhaps he does 
indeed do that in the rest of the book.


So. I'm not going to indulge in ad-hominem arguments - and I'd suggest 
that no one here should. For me, these are never acceptable, but in 
this case, they certainly don't appear to be even necessary. After all, 
his thesis should stand or fall on the soundness of his reasoning only 
right?


Having said all that, one thing which I can resonate with is the need 
to cull excessive reverence toward any type of movement in music. To 
me, that's pretty superfluous too.

I agree with that thought, but provided the author doesn't replace the 
excessive reverence with their own intellectual psycho-babble, unproven 
theories passed on as 'canon', and coin new hybrid genre names in every 
paragraph.  I'd recommend keep a barf bag handy as you thumb through 
it, but hey, you might love it.  IMHO that book takes itself stunningly 
too seriously, had the whole thing been some half-drunk bar 
conversation it might have been more entertaining to me, but as a real

It can be interesting to read books about music (or any form of art for 
that matter), you can think up interestingn concepts, made up some 
really interesting concepts on why music is music or whatever, or have 
a good track because you sampled 2 goldfishes having sex in the end 
it all comes down to wether you like the song or not.


No theory or whatever made me hate a track i used to like. So i never

What's sad is how many of friends consider Reynolds (and guys like
pitchfork) inspiration/hero/grand influence/whatever.


I think there's a place in the world for Simon Reynolds, but
like most music journalists, he's essentially making a career
out of sniping from the sidelines, and someone who does that
for a living can only be seen as an inspiration by people who
aspire to that sort of position.

I have to admit, I often prefer to read opinions (on music as
well as other subjects) that conflict with my own; even though
I'd ideally prefer these opinions to be better articulated than
Simon Reynolds' often are!

I'd say a sign that a theory is interesting is if it makes you like 
tracks you used to hate.  THAT's much more powerful, imo.


In the end, though, it's important to remember that there'd be no 
theories without the art - but the converse is most certainly not true.

Re: (313) Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds

2005-01-05 Thread dan
Can't really go into detail about all the points everyone's made 
about the bit of Simon Reynolds' writing (there are too many), but I 
do think you're all being a bit harsh:


1. I don't think it's right to say that he's inarticulate - I 
devoured this reasonably long bit of writing very quickly. Despite 
the fact that I don't agree with parts of what he syas, it's an 
enjoyable read at the very least.


2. I don't think that he writes in a  drug-addled manner. He clearly 
thinks that drugs are a very important factor in the music we like, 
which they are. I don't agree with the extent that he thinks music 
should be subservient to the expecations of users of certain drugs 
such as ecstasy, but the drugs members of an audience have taken 
certainly play a part, what;s more a good part on many occasions.


3. Some of his points about the 'guarding' of Detroit music certainly 
strike a chord, even if his targets are somewhat indiscriminate.


4. His take on minimalism is spot on in many ways. I like minimalism, 
whereas he doesn't really seem to, but his observations seem quite 
acute to me nonetheless.


Just my two farthings...
