i think all this 'its not as good...' crap is jus ppl not realising they've become too familiar. and that their tastes have changed.

ive seen so many threads with older guys ripping into shranz & the kids laughing at derrick may & juan atkin stuff from 92.

things change & noveltys wear off. the older you get, the harder it becomes to find new joyous things, purely on the basis youve been on the planet so long.

course it was all much more exciting as a youngster, there was clubs & labels & djs to find out about. now, 13-14 years later, nothing very much suprises me. because it has all pretty much been done.

but, techno is young. give it another 15 years & see if its up to the likes of jazz or soul. see if it lasts. i'm pretty sure it will.
