We caught the disease a long time ago, and we're still sick. Great points, Kent. I'm 37 and my first child will be born soon (my wife's at 18 weeks in now; just went to our first prenatal class last week). My parents had an extremely small record collection when I grew up--Barbra Streisand and Abba (not a fan these days) vs Fleetwood Mac and Supertramp (*am* a fan these days) were literally pretty much the gist of what they had. (It's funny, cos I don't own a single Fleetwood Mac or Supertramp record, but due to hearing their entire discography relentlessly growing up, I don't *need* any of the physical products--I can pretty much remember every song from them in my head instantly due to the constant exposure). So...I spent my childhood knowing there *had to* be more out there musically, and didn't get an "aha" moment until Human League (Don't You Want Me) and Depeche Mode (People Are People) made it onto commercial radio (all I had access to growing up) and later hearing Brave New Waves on CBC and going to "the big city" (I grew up in a village of 500 people--so no nearby record store) and seeing records in the store like Skinny Puppy, Foetus (pardon the pun, I spose), and others of that era. So... for me, I *do not* want that to happen to my child (ie having literally just 4 artists on constant rotation). So I've been going through my records and picking out things to start with (Stevie Wonder ranks at the top at this point, plus Commodores, Bobby Womack, Bill Withers, George Benson, EW&F, Isaac Hayes, Minnie Riperton, Sly Stone, etc) before moving on to the rock (Led Zep, Queen, Def Lep, Sabbath, et al), disco and electro and techno; can't wait to see the reaction to Drexciya, Terrence Dixon, Shake, Atkins, et al. Can you tell I'm excited? ;) I can tell ya one thing: my child is going to know what a turntable is and how to use it (I've got students in my sound design/music production class who've never even seen one in use!

RE: (313) Re: kings of techno
There was a clear delineation at ILT between the relentless drivel pounded by
Euro 3 deck jocks and the more melodic, older stuff that was mostly coming from
records produced over 15 years ago. Given that some of the people attending the
event were 16 & 17, the fact that most of those I was with were old enough to
be their fathers (32 and upwards) it has reached the point in the last few
years where we have reached this particular point.
It's not so much the VH1-ing of Techno as such. In Britain the "Northern Soul"
movement has many comparisons with Techno, especially from Detroit. Romantic
nostalgia, small clubs playing Detroit records only (this will happen in the
future I reckon), fantastically expensive records, middle-aged men talking
about how it was better in their day etc etc. This isn't a criticism at all,
it's just an observation. It would be impossible for any musical movement to
sustain such kinetic energy over a certain period of time - the fact that
Detroit Techno does 25 years on to a certain extent is a credit to the
originators.

I know this double CD has been posted about before on here and there was a
debate about what tracks should be on there and whether
Garnier was the best guy to be involved in the compilation of it.
However my question is a different one - it's found it's was to my local shop
http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/ I think when
someone (Marsel?) originally put up the track list I thought it was one CD from
Garnier and one from c2. However in the description
on Piccadilly's site it says:
"The mix CD has Carl and Laurent talking over the tracks in places and is even
interspersed at times with field recordings and
interviews from key musical innovators and musicians"
so I'm guessing both are involved in both CDs, one's unmixed and the other as
above - so how is this one with interviews etc if
anyone's heard it? Sounds like it could be good if done well (or the reverse!).

Agreed. Similar stories when he was around here. IMHO, he is a great DJ, great technique, but not that great taste. > And as > for Aretha and Iggy, why wouldn't he know about them? Never tried to judge "who's 'Detroit' enough". My point is: this "History of Detroit" CD and his Retrospective CD sound like a commercial opportunity, without much musical value (not discussing the tracks themselves, they can be found elsewhere).

Funny this CD1 is supposed to be a "History of Detroit" which kind of puzzles me: If it is a "History of Detroit" Techno, then what are Stooges or Aretha doing there??? (dont say they were D. May inspirations, pls!); Or if it is a Musical "History of Detroit" (which then explains why Stooges, Aretha and Temptations are listed), then what does Mr. Garnier know about it? Either way, this CD obviously does not represent Detroit musical heritage. Also, the explanation to me is very much in line with that Retrospective of Garnier, recent out on F Comm (not to criticise the quality of his music, but what is the point of a retrospective of tracks that are all newer than 10 years, easily available from other sources, some of them released in his last year LP!!!): Pure commercialism/opportunism.
