Honestly if someone wants to be a Scientologist, it's up to them. Don't see the attraction, myself. I wonder what sort of Return To Forever it will be -- The first couple of records were fantastic, as is Chick Corea's 60s acoustic jazz. Then he totally flew up his own 4ss. I still listen to "Ligh

Like simple pitch correction, it's just a crutch for the talentless until someone starts misusing it. Which is where techno comes in. The rhetoric may be futuristic, but when it comes down to it, techno was constructed with technology left around after it went out of fashion in the mainstream. As

I imagine that the people who win their categories will get some incremental bump in sales on Beatport. I will vote for Chymera and Gregory Tresher because I like their music. And this whole thing wasn't meant as a rip on Beatport per se. I admire what they've been able to do in just a few years
