I am probably going to get a lot of shit for this, but I dont really care - I actually like that track. I think it's fun - maybe because I happen to like Blur as well, maybe because I'm a girl and chicks sometimes dig stuff like this - who knows. Yes, it's commercial-and yes, a bit campy and cheesy, but so what? I wouldnt play it myself, but a track like that might open people's ears to techno-people who would otherwise not give techno a chance. We need music like this to get those people to listen or techno will just die out completely. I'm not saying to play a whole set like this - but still....throwing one track in could make the difference between someone saying 'hey....techno isnt so bad afterall-let me see what else is out there' to 'i cant listen to this noise-get me out of here'. Even Carl Cox plays stuff like this-but he knows when to throw it in at just the right moment....
And sorry, I dont care how purist you guys THINK you are, you know as well as I do that if you had the same opportunity as Philip has had to release so much music under your name-you wouldnt hesitate to do it. And if you say that you wouldnt-you are full of it!!!!
End rant.
