Re: (313) Ai 2006
Quite in a bizarre way, i think Adult would be close. ... What i really think is: detroit techno follows the natural line of american black music evolution. Pure emotion, pure being there, soul thing. What would be the IDM of the 60s, 70s, 80s? Maybe it was music for inteligent people at that time. Some friends of mine think that cybotron's clear is a stupid disposable low-minded track. They prefer aphex twin tracks. I think clear is brilliant. And I think aphex is brilliant too. Maybe IDM is label that people like to be associated with, more than a label to define sound itself. Like indie rock (released from major labels) nowadays. I don't see Detroit techno being IDM. But i can see detroit artists trying to follow the ways of the market - aware of that or not.

There is a distinct analogue, 'IDMish' tone in the music on that compilation, a lot of it is mid-tempo and it's closer to electro than techno. The emphasis on 'melancholy' rather than dark seems quite akin to the 'classic' Detroit tone, as much as there is one (and of course there are just as many exceptions in what we call 'Detroit techno'.) Also let me ask this: which Detroit-associated artist(s) do you think would fit most closely into this 'new direction' which Ai seems to want to travel in? Ken

Re: (313) Ai 2006
The label quality, in my way of thinking, is intended to be applied to something tested, a comercial product, with an especific purpose. Music itself is multi-purposal, if i can say this way. Is expression. Some people might like it, other might hate it. If quality means it was music produced under the standarts of the best gear or best pure sound it's even worst. Creativity don't need the ideal technical enviroment to come out - everybody knows that. And if quality means this music has quality comparing to other music that has no quality, the artist/producer is talking about his personal musical taste. Well, in any of the situations above, quality means nothing. I would find useless to label any music i would produce as quality, once the music should speak for itself. That's my own opinnion, of course. That's my way of thinking. Sorry for some bad english. :) Kw On 20/03/2006, at 07:23, Odeluga, Ken wrote: -Original Message- From: Kowalsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 March 2006 00:17 To: [313] Subject: Re: (313) Ai 2006 i've listened the tracks in the bleep site.

According to the OED, quality is a noun only. For a new meaning to be added to the OED, I think three instances in print of the word (from certain sources only) need to be found.

Some of the stuff from Ai over the past year or so hasn't been as hot as some before it imo...I really liked the Normal, Michael Manning, Jacen Solo Dez Williams and Claro Intelecto 12s. The Estate, Gemote Leisure comps were nice as well. FZV sounded good to these ears too. Yunx's Snake in the Grass was good, but I wasn't that keen on In The Heat of the Night.

you're thinking ergot (claviceps purpurpea), as in ergotism, the oldest recorded source of fungus poisoning. the active component are the ergot alkaloids, which are all derivatives of lysergic acid. they are molecularly related to adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin ergometrine is used to control postpartum bleeding, while very small doses of ergotamine can be use to treat migranes. heh, I work in a toxicology lab and just happen to have a paper on ergotism sitting on my desk ;) seek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: Robert Taylor I prefer Collins' - it's less stuffy than the OED and more accepting of comtemporary argot.
