Hrrrrm. I find it hard to reconcile the wanky pictures with the austere, sensitive music. i hate to say it, but i think i'm really comfortable with the idea of serious techno producers being bald, poker-faced nerds. I haven't actually been to a techno club in years. i think my future...

gosh, i really enjoyed that - cheers!!

i think a couple of ppl already have...? so anyway, this week i have been mostly listenin to that new LP by Andy stott. It's about 50% really good, i reckon. not as hard as some of his 12" tracks might suggest, but still proper melodic techno album music, like they used to make when i were a...

an astonishing record for its time, no less! isn't it strange...as the pop charts got weirder (post-acid, post-hip hop, proto rave) SAW became ever more conservative. they could've reached for the stars, instead they gave us kylie and jason and rick fucking astley (although massive respect to...

well i'll be damned. i thought the stuff i was listening to was made by conservatively dressed, bespectacled, slightly withdrawn, , stone-cold-sober, intensely serious young men. it's a funny ol' world...:confused:

do ya think i should invest?

man, the mid-late 80s was unreal. remember Phil harding turned-in a 7" mix for cabaret Voltaire when they were signed to EMI? and we all thought this was normal behaviour? jesus christ, its fucking scary -best not to examine it too closely - just try and stay focused on that whole...

Far too early for the artcore revival, surely?! me, i'm looking fwd to the full-on Northern Bleep revival kicking-in around 2009... ...although we've got the Chicago Acid revival coming b4 then - in 2008 it'll be all about the 120bpm 4/4 squelch with zero production levels all over again...and...

Hrrm, Blissblogger mentioned the 'New Rave' thing today in relation to the Klaxons... "the doomed-to-fail because premature revival. I'm telling you, it's a rule, you have to wait 20 years before a revival can take. And it's only been 15 years since "Charly", Altern-8 etc. " the 20 year rule...

none that i know of..LOL!! that paragraph was the deliberate thought-provoking controvercial bit that is based more on a mood bubbling under the surface than any hard fact. imagine a scenario where the scene splits into 'white' nu skool-halfstep-industrial-mid-range-d'n'b Vs. 'black' old...

I love Mel & Kim (look closely at my new avatar for proof!). their greatness is beyond dispute. but the whole S.A.W. thing is ripe for discussion. those productions from around '84-'86 sound annoyingly great, even now (or perhaps starting to sound fresh again...not sure). yet by the end of the...

yeah, i've got that. its not very good though, imho. fiddling about making random farty noises on a moog modular does not a great electronic elpee make!! plus, Bernie Kraus (of Beaver & Kraus fame) claimed that side 2 was just a demonstration tape that he'd made, that Harrison used without...

wot he said. but still, i get more 'feel good factor' from Sid's work, so reckon i gotta give him the vote. As for John...he did some crackin' tunes. fair play to 'im. although i recently did a 'headphuck comparison test' between 'Tomorrow Never Knows' and George's 'Its All Too mUch' and I...

steady now! now then, this Claro character's the one who doing this 'warehouse sessions' series, right? i heard some clips of vol.3. sounded well lush. another one for the wishlist, sigh...

okay, fair enough...i just heard he'd done a 10" with dubstep influence. haven't actually heard it yet!

yes, i'm looking fwd to hearing that - plus he's got a little 10" dubstep sideline going on, right? i gotta check that too. anyone know much about this Andy Stott character? He's from Manchester, right?

ow - you bitch!!

Erm, that's debatable, isn't it? anyway, i always saw a spiritual link in terms of dubstep aspiring to the culture of reggae/soundsystem music. It wants to be seen as coming from that lineage, rather than from E-culture etc, surely. Maybe it's a romantic link, rather than a technical one, but...

^^ The voice of truth. Kill all rock stars, then kill your parents, then kill yourselves. thank you.

er, well shouldn't it be Hot Flush = R & S which makes Paul Rose the Renaat Vandepapeliere of dubstep, then? please expand, Paul...
