Juan Atkins/UR/Jeff Mills... Who's next?

[Adverse]

This is it, like in Jazz there will never be another miles davis, in Rock music, there will never be another Jimi Hendrix, In Hip Hop never another Public Enemy.... This is why I'm now concentrating on writing music as appose to saying to myself "I'm going to write a techno track".. This means throwing out the cliches and the rule book and writing purely from the heart..

!!!! :D

spot on, thats the most sense anyone has made in this post..

that's not to say that Jimi hendrix was the be all and end all of guitar based rock music, or miles davies was the be all and end all of Jazz, in the same way that the Bellview 3 are not neccesarily the most innovative people in techno (although they were the first people to coin the phrase, and make music like that, especially back in '87, which must have freaked a lot of people at the time), it's a personal thing, especially in techno as there was so much talent, especially around the 91-97 period.. thats not to say there isn't a lot of talent around now, it's just almost all of the really pioneering stuff has been done, as far as working around a 4/4 kik is concerned.... Maybe we'll all get the shock of our lives one day when someone comes thru who really blows minds, which would be cool, but I suspect it will be a fusion of a few different influences, one of them being the techno sound of the past 10 years....
