Warp drop Jimmy Edgar's new album

[JamieBall]

ahhh it's all too easy to hate to be fair, his production is really, really sweet, taste aside there's no denying he produces his stuff to a level the average techno joe would love to get too

Is that not, in a roundabout way, hating on techno producers production skills ?

:-)

However, I will agree that loads of techno producers can't produce anything else (barely techno) because they're totally untalented in a musical sense.

Also, who (with a true heart) really gives a shit about production at the end of the day. I'm FED UP of hearing people go on about it. It's all unneccesary geekyness, if something rocks it ****ing rocks. Maybe it could be polished up, but the fact remains that if your music sucks in the first place no amount of 'really, really sweet' production will make it good. Go and listen to Daniel Johnston for a contemporary example, or go jam out to some Leadbelly and then try and say pristine production would make this music better.

I actually believe it would make it worse.

Honestly, sooo many people 'producing' techno would be better off just stopping and getting a career writing for future music, I feel - it's a ****ing NERD OVERLOAD.

I can see where you are coming from about producers who can't produce anything else I would get bored producing the same type of music all the time that is why I write & produce Electro & Techno as I like to be versatile. But yeah as the old saying goes if your shit your shit you can't polish a turd.

Jimmy Edgar is just panicking. He bought the 1980's for a lot of money and is fretting cos no one is gonna buy into it and he is gonna lose all his cash.
