Quality Control & This Forum

[The Overfiend]

Been here for quite some time, and every now and then I become
angered that the passion is not here.
Why are we sitting here slagging releases and not showing our appreciation for the music itself.
What ever happened to coming here and making topics about that dope new record you bought. Or that hot party you just came from?
Big names used to sit here all day and bullshit, now they come on or ask me if they've been slagged. Where is the respect. The drive, and the desire to put something into and not take away.

Well put. :clap:

I also think that some people get a kick out of stirring up a hornet's nest too. There will always be those types. The best we can do is ignore them, as responding only fuels the fire.

A good debate is one thing. Slagging is another.

Bang on.

People feel araid to post a decent record here incase it might be meant for the specialists in the err 'dark & experimental' section. Other people feel afraid to post a decent record in the 'dark & experimental' section for fear of a few gimps. Just one section for techno (in all its forms) electro etc is probably a good idea now.

my 2 cents.

[massplanck]

And whats with all the pink ? This is meant to be a techno board. :lol:

Seriously we should proably just talk about inventive electronic music in just one forum whilst keeping a bit of a hard or whatever techno slant on things.

[basslinejunkie]

i agree with that.

Well, I'm GOING to a hot party to see Surgeon tomorrow....hehe.... then I'm PLAYING at a hot party on Saturday night....a 'Leather and Lace' party-even got a sexy corset to wear for the occassion...wooowoooo! Can't wait to drop some techno bombs on Saturday

[Sunil]

Yeah, I'm with Massplanck. **** all this segregation bullshit. This section has no chance to prosper unless it has something to help it along. The hard techno forum as it stands lacks any kind of forward thinking attitude or indeed general knowledge on techno. Bring in the Old Skool techno forum and let people learn something.

Sorry, but me peronally I want to talk about techno, its history, where its going, who really deserves respect, who's pushing it forward.

Too many people here forget what techno should be... and thats's experimental, and music for the future. To those that think banging is the be all and end all, shove it up your hole

I'd have more belief in this forum only I know that hard club techno (as it stands at the moment) on its own can't go anywhere on its own or raise any type of decent intererst anymore. Wake up people, and ask yourself why the hell you are here?

[AcidTrash]

Instead of talking about it why not hop into the production filez forum and listen to some new music. There's some genuine belters in there if you can be bothered looking for them. New producers need the support.

Rather than sit on this forum and bithc about the music not being this or that enough, find an artist you like and encourage them to do more.

If you don't like the bitching on this forum there are other ways you can contribute. I'm tired of asking genuine questions and having some know it all dickhead leaping on anything I say and tearing it to bits. Techno is so massive that it's impossible to make a statement without someone from a different end of it reading it the wrong way and over-reacting.

Debate is fun and arguements are fun but when people take it seriously and egos get hurt it all gets rather peurile. I've learned my lesson now so I'm just goin to use this forum to find better music.

It's a fair point but I find the lack of freedom to say what I want over powering and just too controlling, does encourage me to post at all. I find the lets not slag things off stance a bit silly, listen if I play a crap gig or you think one of my tracks is shit I'd rather hear about it than have it dressed up in some loved up prozac pomp.

I agree with Martin in some ways....freedom of speech is important. However there are ways of addressing things, and one of those is to give constructive criticism as opposed to stomping all over something with the statement "that was crap"

We are all here at the end of the day because we like Techno....whatever form it comes in. We can use our love of Techno to give constructive advice ;)

:clap: dont want to make any speech here but that just about sums it up. ;)

i dunno. you try to point something out and once again it goes over the heads. The forum sucks lately (havent been on much and seen any slaggin) because its the same old same old forumalic shite that pops its head up. Like Sunil said what the **** is new or 'futuristic' or forward thinking anymore in here. All people seem to want to do (in here) is mix the same shite all of the time over and over and over and over. Whenever a new release comes out by a certian producer who never deviates from the line its like "oh my god i gotta have this one' 'or oh my god this great'. Wake the **** up people there is nothing forward thinking about playing the same style of music that peaked in '97. Nothing wrong with liking it but 50 billion identical posts about identical sounding tunes just drives people mad. There is NOTHING on this forum that promotes the cross-pollination of electronic music so if thats the way you want it to be then fine and tread water till you drown. Sorry ranting a bit but as a moderator Sam you sure know how to keep techno in the doldrums by not even acknowleging what a few of us said.

[schlongfingers]

I still think, if you don't like something, don't comment - just post about what you like innit. It's not like people are gonna change their minds because you don't like it, well, not unless they are really really dumb.

what if someone not really clued up on techno posted a bad track saying it was great...dont you think it would be good to tell em otherwise by tellin them why, maybe educate other folk and could stop em from buying the weak shit and they would then know what to look for..better made stuff.
