[death on a stick]

I don't feel I dissed it, merely gave an honest appraisal of it.

I've had my music criticised and praised on Blackout. I've praised and criticised other people's music on Blackout, as has every other member. Are your mates exempt from criticism on Blackout?

I don't see why anyone should be exempt from having their productions assessed by anyone else, whether they happen to read it or not. If you put your stuff in the public arena you can expect public reactions.

that sort of statement belongs in the dark/experimental forum

Why?

why are you even on this forum if you don't like club/hard techno???????

I do like hard techno, and I do like club techno.


And what's with the comparisons with Overload? You can go on there any day and read heaps of praise about a huge variety of artists from just about every style of music, from pop down to pure noise. Of course, there is criticism too...as there is here. Are we really that narrow minded on Blackout that we can't handle the idea that everything we do may not be as wonderful as we think? Are we unable to question the validity of our work in the light of other people's observations (no matter how crude it may have been - believe me, I was as nice I could have been).
