the thing ppl fail to grasp is that timeless tracks go beyond that entire question, i have carl craig/BFC trax that are from 89/90 that sound as conceptual and amazing today as they did then. there are 90's tracks such as "the wipe" by teste that sound fresh still today because they did not rely on the typical 909's and pattern structures....


what i think mark is really talking bout is a recent trend toward the classic drum machine sounds and a 90's vibe. this CAN and sometimes DOES work well, but i am afraid folks take things too far (as is our nature as ppl) and get carried away.
yeah that sums it up nicely
