So. Behind their eyes the hope in them was sickening, and in many, dead. They lived from event to event with a subtle terror of the gap between, filling up their lives with distractions to avoid the emptiness where curiosity should have been, and breathing a gasp of relief when the children passed the point of asking questions about what life was for.
no offence intended but you've obviously not been listening to much hertz stuff..
and show me some techno that isnt loop based.. actually show me any music that isnt loop based.. besides freeform jazz.. all music has motifs that appear and re-occur. which really only amounts to loops. evryone uses loops. everybassline is looped. kick drums are looped. its what you do with the loops that makes it stand out. and IMO hertz does it well. he has a lovely polished sound, good tunes that work on the dancefloor and for just listening to and he's not afraid to try something differant.. just listen to his pierre j stuff on abyss.
im really not in the mood for an argument on why producer X is more talented than producer Y, so just accept my opinion and move on.. theres too much sh*it slinging around this place.. theres room in techno for every style, get used to it.
when i refer to loops im not talkin about off the shelf sample packs.. im talking about midi stuff that would be looped.. nobody sits there re-cording in a whole bassline of a track by hand.. its just not really feasable.. AND if on the off chance they do then they'll quantise it.. which ultimitly may as well be looped in the first place.

i mean that it isnt very musical
and patterns dont vary very much from tact to tact
lucky 17, recreate and stuff like that is pretty simple, not much complex harmony going in there
hes technically very good, and uses a lot of efx in places they should be used
but still, that isnt music
music is james ruskin - paranoia
or fatboy slim - push and shove
or gorillaz - kids with guns
or kenny larkin - fake french (epic mix)

but theres a lot of great music out there that isnt very musical. i dont think people should get hung up on the muso thing too much.. what makes great music isnt the chord progressions its the effect it has on the listener.. im a musician thru and thru m8 and i still love hertz stuff. im also a huge fan of dead can dance, doesnt mean i think they're any better than hertz because they're better musicians.
i know plenty of good musicians who couldnt get a track going.. yet i know lads that can only play 3 note basslines but have written some of the best tunes i've ever heard.
