the question is when those two diametric tendancies collide. the underground and the pop minded. too much in the underground and you get heads jumping to hard techno and hard acid in 1992 (tbh i would have probably done this at the time as well.) yet reading it too much from the perspective of shades of rhythm and bizarre inc primes you for happy hardcore and handbag, not jungle eventually. so i think it's healthy to tilt more to the underground but *without* losing sight of crossovers and the mainstream. this is where pure underground people make the mistake. conversely some of the rave hits that got into the charts were absolutely fucking crap. baby d? black box? do fucking one.

not as listeners, as players.

yeah but barty you're never gonna get good at darbuka you need an ustad to teach you for 10 years straight. noone cares about that just put them in the machine and chop them up. noone wants to make natural sounding machine music other than for romanticist purposes. just don't be a pitchfork sub-talvin singh. learn to love and then chop chop.

that's your orientalism speaking. you're envisioning magical people from these magical far away places with their magical instruments attaining this unattainable music. in reality they're normal blokes playing drums just like anyone else. i could play the stuff from the videos you posted.
