Good points all round !! Unfortunately, MAinstream techno at the minute seems to be about doing the same as everyone else. It's always the same. You get a new sound and because of it's popularity everyone starts to make it and it does get boring after a while. I love the tribal style but it has to have a bit of a groove to it or something special.

As for putting sounds in techno, it's so annoying cos they have to be right !! I've tried putting soundz on before and most of the time they start to sound cheesy so off they come. I think that's probably down to the fact that the music we do is quite hard and quite drum orientated. If it was something a bit mellower it wouldn't be too bad i suppose.

Yeah Ruskin is a bit of a legend I must admit - loving his work.

The nastier dirtier more evil the sound, THE BETTER !!!
