gj

indeed. thats some good shit.

more of this again please

I'm loving both sides of this, like you say, proper minimal.

theres a section for this

i would not defile bob hood by putting him in that "other" section with mathiew johnson et all

got hold of this a few weeks ago, quality release

prefer the one before it though, obey / resurrection :)

the return of minimal techno.

f**king love it. still manages to sound fresh and exciting.

There's more to minimal techno than rob hood and basic channel.

Great track though.

Yeah, don't forget Dan Bell!

course there is.

dan bell, basic implant, etc.

some really killer stuff...

Never dug Hood at all.
He never semed to understand minimalism.
He just used less sounds, rather than following the ethic of minmalism.
There was no texture to the sounds, just raw 909`s and raw synths.
These days it sounds very cheap and childishly simple to me.
It hasn`t dated well.

listened to it, by this reckoning i reckon my pounding grooves tunes could be classed as minimal.

Minimal-ISM

The movement that minimal came from.
And no, Hood didn`t understand it,. He made music with minimal elements, but didn`t seem to understand minimalism.
In my opinion that is. Never bought a hood record, find him totally overrated, more for the fact he was there in the early days than for his skill.

Well the early stuff was, by Hoods understanding of minimal, so your right, pounding grooves is minimal in that it had few elements. There is much more use of texture in PG early stuff too, so it actually follows the script of minimalism more closely than hood, probably not intentionally though. Ask Henry, PG was a lot to do with him as well as Lawrie.
