loop techno doesnt kill techno !

i actually think its not an easy kindof techno to produce. Sure melodic techno & non pattenrish sequencing (that exists !) sound harder to produce at first sight.

But the "good" loop techno is hard to do. The good loops techno consists in making the track sound loopy, ie easy to mix in 3 sec for the technically gifted, but making the track having a constant unperciptible variation.

Some good examples of that are Jeff Mills, Basic Channel, constantly playing with delays, decays and reverb and that make their sounds behind the drums live, without any patternish attitude, nad become obssessive. And the tracks can stay for long and not sound boring. In another kinf, the likes Surgeon, using industrial sounds constantly moving behing some basic drum programming are also taleented to make the good loopy tracks.

Oh the other hand there are producers thiking that take three loops from some old drum track, add a few home made (or sample cd made) drum pattern layered and overcompressed make the trick. Then the sequencing is all about adding / removing some of this loop during 5 or 6 minutes. EH !! Thats this kindof fake music taht kills techno, becasue it sounds cheap, repetitive, and useless. But dont messup this music with loop techno. They sound similar but dont desserve the same respect.
