Probably more than half of the artists whose records are in your crates.

I think that Violator is a masterpiece. The best album from DM, in my
opinion.

It has a very Kraftwerk-like sound, especially Policy of Truth

I always thought People Are People was wack as a kid. I liked early
Depeche but I wasn't a devout fan. I think there's a longheld stigma
against Duran Duran because
And as much as I hate to disagree with Sean Deason (who has put out an
album I consider one of the greatest records I've ever heard), but
back in the day, Duran (and Spandau) *was* cheesy amongst the headz!
That was latent sexism in the UK rock press because they had a young female
following
Maybe listen to the first Propaganda album. I think that album pre-empted a
lot of sounds of today - from industrial to Detroit - and the sleeve notes
remind me of Axis' liner notes!
I guess the whole fantasy element of the Blitz Kids fed into the
imaginations of Motor City's youth.

We hear too much the getting old theory of musical taste, but maybe
whether people came to techno through an enjoyment of some type of

What's the getting old theory??? We're working on a new club
Also Larry Levan did a Duran Duran remix, forget which record though! So
they must be GOOD.

yep, good years for producer Trevor
Wow, thanks for that. I always wondered. I really disliked that second ABC
album. We had the cassette and I have not seen it for years! I just found it
abrasive.
I really get annoyed how 80s synth-pop is referred to as electro now, as it
wasn't. It was New Wave or New Romantic - (I am feeling

I tend to lump them with the whole batch of Mute things (Normal, Fad

the larger hand of Daniel Miller. It's hard to get past
