But they have rung me up just to tell me to keep up the good work and give me some words of encouragement etc...which i thought was rather nice...
But if they like my music does that mean its pretty bog standard?
probably
how true!Quote:

I actually totally agree with you. Techno used to be soooooo challenging in it's early days. The true meaning of techno was very different then to what it is now. If we're looking at the last 20 years of techno as a whole and you put the last 4 Marco Bailey releases up against that, then Marco Bailey is not techno. The formula in this guys music is so obvious. Yet it doesn't stop me playing it.
This type of Prime/Marco Bailey 'techno' can show people 'the light' that is serious techno. Sure, techno has become 'trancified' in many ways but it has meant that i can play certain styles of techno in clubs that I could never usually play techno at - and convert alot more people into the sound. I like that. Therefore I see Prime's music now as a bridge to something deeper.
I think both me and you know that formulated music is not what techno originally stood for but the fact is, the definition has changed and we're not going to get it back.
When we say 'techno' it now means the 4/4 club stuff??????
When we say 'experimental techno' then that means true techno?????
I dunno.
Perhaps it's time to redefine exactly what experimental sound based 'techno' music is???
Sometimes it seems even techno heads don't know what techno is, haha. It's the debate that will never end.
how many people feel like this is a constructive topic?
personally, i regret starting this one.
i say that techno is not a broad genre in fact it's rather condensed. defining what is real true techno, what a waste of time. sorry.
tell me if i'm wrong but defining things (or trying to) just makes them boring.

I do. If people read it and are encouraged to look deeper into techno rather than taking the easy access fodder option, it's a positive thing. Stop moaning about people moaning.Quote:

these last two posts the last more than the the second to last show how "edgy" read: whiney, this place has really become..
man talk about daft. i don't know why we can't enjoy techno. instead of beating no, PULVERIZING it with meaningless definitions.
i'll be on my way now.. **** this topic.
wots that little arrow thing adverse?
is that summit to do wit the label???
it reminds me of the swastika (no offence)
....but its pretty cool
it's the logo for my company omnis music. meaning all directions. i'm thinking about changing it now.. though. i think it rocks. my girlfriend came up with it one evening.
Now, let me just get this straight....you started this topic with what's the consensus on this board concerning prime(ate/evil)? then present your own views as i don't enjoy anything out on it & personally i could care less if it existed...and then when some people actually have a discussion about it, which when talking about a subject such as generic, boring, unimaginative music will inevitably involve criticism and dissection...and then you moan about it? Then when the pointlessness of your moaning is pointed out, you go on about people whining???Quote:

Excuse me, I have to go and agree with some people against my better judgement.
Oh for fcks sake, Adverse, I simply meant that in any thread on any forum, not just this one, a person doesn't need to register their disinterest in a topic - it's a taken as a given by simply not posting. The disinterest is registered by not getting involved.Quote:

However, no matter how fcking boring a topic might seem to me or you or anybody else for that matter, I would defend anybodies right to engage in it if they find it interesting. Live and let live is all I'm saying. If that makes me 'whiney' then so be it. :roll:
Cheers anyway, it's a real novel experience to be insulted by the person who started a thread for defending peoples right to contribute to that thread. Can't say I've experienced that one before.
to patrick... i apologize. you are right and i totally misconstrued your post. honestly i had forgotten the whole reason i wrote this thread and what the original question was. my fault.
to death .. i never moaned about anything. i said that regretted starting the topic and why. i asked a question. then made a comment. i'm sorry.
i come on this forum to talk about techno music. that's why i regret starting this topic.. cause now i come on here and this is the only thread people have been replying too. that's why i regret it.
i'm terribly sick of techno politics.
so in the end i digress and admit my stupidity for starting a techno political discussion. and for calling patrick whiney when he was answering a fair question.
SORRY MATE!
Yeah, its pretty groovy, kinda reminds me of an escher thing as well...
So is that what your bird gets up to while you are having all your catnaps?
apart from giving me blowjobs obviously :twisted:
:wink:
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
Death On A Stick - watch your step. Your negativity and disrespect has been noted. Please read the rules. There will be no more warnings my friend.
Patrick - please try to be a little less hostile. I see you feel you have a point but a little respect for fellow board members goes a long way.
