Yeah. Hopefully more information will be forthcoming in the days leading up to movement. I'm wondering out loud if the news of this release got buried in the announcement of Mr. Dixon's pending retirement from the dance music game? Full disclosure, I'm being selfish, I want more quality music

I fully appreciate that an artist / label shouldn't feel constrained by the hopes wishes of the masses but in cases like this i just wish they'd start fresh with a new label leave its reputation in tact. I don't know, techno music by definition should always be moving forward but i can't help

an alternative view: maybe new and model 500 seem like they shouldn't go together? while some may not love this newest metroplex, for people to say this doesn't sound like detroit techno, 1) does it matter to you what the guy whose style detroit techno is thinks ??? 2) perhaps sounds more techno
