Has anyone ever heard of music therapy? Too soon?


Between Gerard Hanson/ERP’s Exomoon and Octal Industries’ Our Season, you 
have some excellent late year full length album music therapy. :)

Being alive is a reason to live, David. Birds, another reason to value your
life. You act like you’re the first person to ever suffer. Therapy is a
viable option. I have had my fair share of it. Group therapy can be
affordable or even free. The psychology.com website is pretty good. I have
used it a lot.

Don’t nobody gotta agree with anybody. Definitely don’t drink alcohol. Take
Vitamin D. Your B vitamins are gonna be good for depression. Write it down
in your diary.

Has anyone ever heard of music therapy? Too soon?

Dude that Andromeda album was pure. fire.

Not all techno makes the desert, after that passports required ;-)

Respect to all peeps who share an opinion, even if there were three 
HAAi, and you chose the wrong one.


Can I drink some water?

Is peace, harmony and joy achievable? Would you recognize it when it 
comes upon you?


Fleeting moments, passing me by.

Many thanks for the recommendation Denise. Techno

p.s. The electro reworks alone should be worth living for. Peace

Nobody gives a shit about me or my own music.

If you can afford to spend your life dancing with people, maybe that
would be a nice life. I usually can't afford to leave the house AT ALL
ever anymore, even if I still lived in a place that offered good music
regularly, which I don't.

You all just told me that my own perspective on music, as an artist,
is bullshit. Obviously there is not room for my perspective and my own
contribution to the world. Along with the rest of the human race, you
have all made it very clear that I am not one of you, that I am not
welcome on this planet.

If I had a rope I'd have hung myself a half an hour ago. It's only the
logistical challenge that prevents me from immediately following
through, since I decided that hanging from a tall tree where I snap my
neck is best.

It's on the apple music, however, and every song is good.

Raves were a time where you could listen to techno and house music in a
giant space with the awesomest sound, and sit in a massage circle, with
Power Rangers, and lasers. I mean, that's if you were on ecstasy. I did
ecstasy one time, and nothing happened, and I never wanted to spend the the

Second, raves were often not great--drug overdoses, sexual assault, cops

side, which is part of why they were able to shut it down as the US morphed 
into a full police state following 9/11. (Btw, keep in mind that Joe Biden was 
a big supporter of using crackhouse laws to shut down raves.)

Third, I understand dance music and having fun. I just DJed for six hours at a 
work xmas party. I know how to make people dance.

But this is NOT a "RAVE DANCE MUSIC" list, it's a DETROIT TECHNO list, and one 
of the things that sets Detroit techno apart is that it includes ambient music 
and other sounds that are not meant for dancing, a typical example is Robert 
Hood "The Exodus". Somehow the idea of "Detroit techno" as something different 
and special seems to be lost. Maybe you don't like my idea of Detroit Techno--I 
challenge you to come up with your own vision!

Nobody is preventing anyone from enjoying nostalgic house, but I'd like to talk 
about MUSIC BASED IN EXPERIMENTATION, music that could help us create a better 
FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE.

The human race might go extinct. If techno could help create the hope and 
vision to work for a better world, than that would be better than dancing until 
the world ends. Does everyone just believe shit is so hopeless that there is no 
choice but to get as fucked up as possibility and blast that rave music as the 
planet slowly poisons itself and commits suicide.

Why has everyone given up on the possibility that art--including "Detroit 
techno"--could help inspire us to create a better world? Were the innovators 
who created techno WRONG?!

Re: HAAi

2019-12-22 Thread Mister Jones
Well said Kevin.

I have a tendency to listen to older Detroit Techno because it puts my mind
in a place where I remember having fun and really enjoying the music. I
remember my first trip to a DJ pool with Charles Henderson in '91, everyone
sitting around this room full of records in a guy's house and  giving every
single record 10 seconds to make us believe in it before the guy running it
put it back on the stack. I still have the three records I copped that day:
St Etienne's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" 12" with the MAW dub, Chris
Cuevas' "Hip Hop" 12" with the MAW dub (their first remix, if memory serves
me), and Ce Ce Pennison's 12"  for "Finally". I used to love stopping by
Buy-Rite on 7 mile on Tuesdays for the longest. I remember my first gigs
around Detroit playing out in '91 with Rob Brown, Charles Henderson, and a
number of other guys at U of D, Introvest, and several other spaces on the
west side all the way up to my last time spinning in SE Michigan on Crush
Collision, Oct 11th 2001.

The music still brings me back to those places, and for that reason, I keep
listening. Sometimes you really just need a break from all the crap going
on around you, Detroit Techno, minimal, electro/technobass, and ghettotech
does it for me.

What's funny is that I've been bouncing around an idea for an EP centered
around that whole 90's vibe for maybe the last 10 years. I think I might
finally stop procrastinating and just do it. Maybe... Tomorrow for sure...

Denise:  First of all, thanks for sharing work you think is
noteworthy...going to have to give it a listen when I can.

David:  Last I checked, we're still in virtually the same spot that we were
in the dawn of techno...as the saying goes "the names and faces have
changed, but the game is still the same."  However, one of the fine things
missing from many human beings doing the writing, listening and performing
of this music that somehow unifies us all on a giant Venn Diagram
is...ENJOYMENT.

As much as I wish to give the entire group of under-30 somethings a
'history lesson' and shake my fist about how things used to be (a la "they
didn't even let us play in nightclubs!!!  We had to play in warehouses and
inhale asbestos!!!  AND WE LIKED IT!!!"), the prevailing winds dictate that
this revolutionary music that we were on the ground floor for now has a
history.  We're part of that, and as Shake Shakir put it bluntly:  "Those
who know, know.  Those who don't, don't care."

With all the problems in the world today, some people are just looking for
an escape, and a way to remind themselves of times where they had FUN
(anyone remember FUN? I do...vaguely).  Honestly-I wish I could escape from
this crazy place...

It troubles me to think that many of us have truly lost sight of the
