Dale: Thanks for the well-reasoned reply to Dustin.
All: Could we all just agree to stop replying to Dustin on this topic?
(Unless, of course, anyone wants to seriously discuss genre definitions).
Otherwise, blocking him's only half effective. I hate to be cruel, but. . .
it's hard to believe that anyone's this obtuse, so I'm finding myself
wondering whether a bizarre research experiment on patience is being
inflicted on 313. Or if it's the havoc wreaked by a disgruntled Alan Oldham
(whose posts I sorely miss, and mean no offense to him or anyone else with
this comment). So, in an effort to change the subject. . .
I have the second Hipnotech release (of I think six), and have to say that
I'm, well, not disappointed, but less impressed than I expected I'd be by
UR's hiphop branch. Same goes for Mr. Shakir's Beat Store. I always buy
Anthony Shakir's records on sight, and I didn't regret this one, but it
doesn't grab me quite the way his other releases do, new or old (including
the 1996 "Mood Music for the Moody", which features the incredible "Electron
Rider", which has, oddly enough, a slight German hard trance edge to it,
Dustin). I generally find techno-tinged hip hop more interesting than the
reverse. Any thoughts on this? Anyone care to convince me that I'll
consider these top-notch releases if I keep listening?
