well then you just must be on a different planet to me then, because if you pull out, say, 'doggy style' and then play the 'metal' track next to it, the progression is incredible. and that's in the space of about 2 years. do that to most artists and you will not see this. marco bailey was producing the same bloody loop for about 3 years :lol:

sure it's not a 'new' sound, but it's a 'new' feel. eyes and dirty, you're entitled to your own opinion, but i'm just thinking that so many artists these days get stuck in a rutt, producing the same track - just with slightly different sounds in them. 90% of artists do this, cause they feel safe. i'm not seeing the safe option in glenn's new stuff, far from it. glenn falls into that 10% of producers who really are obviously pushing things forward. and you're right, you're never gonna get complete innovation without becoming cristian vogel and then, it becomes experimental.

i say new direction for techno cause i genuinely think it is. banging hard techno with soul and funk almost. it's not the 'only' new direction for techno but it's one of them, and i for one love it - just hope more ppl go down this route instead of just bashing out distorted 1 bar loops.

everyone's entitled to their opnion though eh ;)
