Soul or soulless?

[massplanck]

I can hear just as much "Soul" in Chris McCormack's Blacklisted as I do by anything by the detroit boys.

chris mccormack is the exception to the rule though. And of course you picked out his hardest release.... go check out 'what kind of sound'.
As for the 'soul' you heard in 'blacklisted'... this was most likely all the pent up rage which led to his 'soul' speaking when he came out and said most techno was shit & boring and er soulless.

He's a soul-brother.

But you are right 'soul' can come in many shapes or forms..
