the last time we had this discussion, i recieved a p.m. from someone who really summed it up. this person prefers to remain anonymous, but i am gonna quote the p.m. i recieved during the last bout of "future of techno" anyway. here it is:

I feel that if people are looking for an intellectual challenge they should really be doing something else other than techno. IT's fun music for fun people and the way these guys talk about it makes us look like deranged bitter snobs with no real zest for life or techno. I bet some of these people don't even dance at clubs if they even go to them at all. We need motivated DJ's and producers, and not bitter critics.

Talent is secondary to enthusiasm in my book. I'd rather pick up people with a can do attitude and half the skill than experts who make a beautiful thing a tiresome routine.

I've been considering saying the same but its all a bit touchy at the moment and I've spoken my mind once too often to be bothered doing it again so I salute your for having the courage to stand up and say these things. Someone needed to.



indeed!
