[quote=force;650537]Pete, acid techno as you know it didn't exist until THAT record..and the structure and sound of it was the blueprint for most, if not all the acid techno that came after it.

So? I should like it because?

Fair enough if you're not impressed by any of it but dont go calling yourself a "very talented bloke' and Hardfloor suck. Its Laughable in the extreme. NOTHING you have made, (and what i've heard) comes anywhere near the quality Hardfloor have knocked out over the years, and this isn't a personal attack dude, its telling it how it is.
Whart an idiotic thing to say. As if there were a universal standard in music tastes.

If you were that good mate, i would have at least heard of you and there might be a few of your releases knocking about in record shops. Apart from that 'Blipped out' release i found in my friends record shops 'bargin bin' that he ended up giving away...

The fact there aren't any is all anybody needs to know.
Either that or I've had grown up things to attend to which have diverted funds away from producing vanity products for a decaying market and the fact I haven't actively sought to expand my recogntion any further than here and Bangingtunes.com in the last four years because frankly staying up all night with a bunch of junky borderline chavs snorting ketimine and coke isn't how I planned my adult life. Frankly, I cannot think of anythig duller than DJ'ing these days or indeed techno clubs and if my horizons are ever as lacking in aspiration as yours then I will put a gun to my head.

Sorry to disappoint you but recogntion, admiration or respect is not something I seek from you or this scene in general. I have much bigger fish to fry and much more to contribute. Hence why I have not darkened the door of a techno event for more than an hour since 2004.

I am satisfied I have achieved in this, that which I set out to, played some big gigs, had a lot of fun but now the real business of being an adult beckons and unlike you, I'm embracing it.

And btw, the words "very talented bloke" were not words of my choosing, hence the quote marks, but if people are kind enough to choose those words, I shall not refuse them.

Can't please all of the people.
