i'd rather hear a raw, daring mix than a seamless, boring one

The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect. - Jimmy Carter

Still love this to be honest.
I'd say the mixing was more frenetic than messy.
However The Exhibitionist, that's just a shambles, and extremely disappointing.

yeah, The Exhibitionist is utter doodoo. Still scratching my head as to how they decided to release something so poor.

i havent listened to this since the days when it was released but i doo know one thing - it blew me away. if you're just into beat mixing and getting shit in time, this sucks. but the thing that made me freak over this was just the sheer chaos. an almost two fingers up to normality. every other dj was about simple 3 minute mixing but mills, well it was just revolutionary. all the tracks went together in there own way and oh so quick.
i'm sure it sounds crap now, but back in the day, it was amazing...

having already heard mills play a whole bunch of times, including his legendary set at the Lost when Basic Channel played live, I found this mixtape to be a major dissapointment..... Originally Posted by MARK EG

Fair enough.
A bit like going to the tate modern and saying "its all bollocks, I could do that"
Its an opinion...

I just think its all a bit emporers new clothes. Really nothing to write home about.
Any time ive bought a record of that ilk, or jeff mills tune its been a pretty uninspiring loop where you're not against the clock for a feature in the records and all he's doing in the vid is fast mixing with that kind of record which as I said, any chump can do.
As for doing things with the same record, jesus, any two identical records have phse shifting flanges and it even more likely you're going to get offbeat phrases out of them when theyre just loop tech house.
As for phasing dynamics, thats the whole point of DJ'ing is it not? Its the reason we dont just make a loop on a drum machine, turn it on and leave it.
Really nothing special. Seen as good if not better in back rooms of village halls and in my own living room when any DJ pop[ing in for a cup of tea cared to grace my decks.
No big deal, get over it.

No worries.
Some people think mondrian is just a bunch of squares (could do it with a ruler) and pollocks is just paint splats (made a mess on my floor that looked better)
Its an opinion...

Oh and by the way, if you went into the tate and looked at say a Jackson pollock and said, thats shit, I could do that you'd be talking shit. Some chump with two or three record players... really.... no big deal.
Two slightly out of phase records does interesting shit. ANy one of us here could get the same effect.
