I think your making excuses for a lack of imagination by justifying someone who makes the same thing all the time.
Sure it`s fine, people will do so, but when things move on, THEY will be the people moaning about things aren`t like they used to be, or that things aren`t true to the origins or whatever.

Techno isn`t dying as such, it`s just that people are moving on, at the moment, people have moved on to the minimal/glitch sound. And already the moaners are there "oh minimal isn`t techno, blah blah"

It will move on again.

I`m not bored with techno as it is at all.
The new stuff is great.
I`m bored of the stuff that sounds like all the other records I have in my collection from 1999.
Why buy them again?

And to react in extremes by saying "that every track ever written should be completely alien to the last.. that the genre re-invent itself with every new release?"
C`mon man, your more intelligent than to make a reversal argument like that.

What I`m talking about is regurgitation, and you know exactly what I mean.

It`s not about massive extreme experimentation and change.
But it should at least be about going forwards at least a little bit.
Isn`t that what any decent musician wants to do?

It`s not even about "educating people" or forcing them to change.
I think it`s more about personal artistic development.

there`s just something inherently sad about artists churning out the same thing again and again.
The cure being a good example.

Of course, people will always like what they like. It`s a fair justification for anything you do (I mean the generic you, not YOU)

But then you have no right to slag off pop music, or any other.
Nor can you say that techno is "on the edge of the "socially acceptable" music scene".
If you place it in the same boat as all other music, then it is simply less popular, or less interesting, or less successful, than other music.


"techno isnt dying because of stagnation.. its dying because people are more interested in saying its dying than actually going out and enjoying the music."

If you truly believe this statement. You are mad.
I`m fairly sure this isn`t the reason it`s not as popular as it was in it`s heyday.
People make their own decision, and it seems a large percentage of fans moved on somewhere else.


Aaaaaanyway.

This has all gone into more of an artistic discussion.
Which comes back to musicianship.
Oh yeah
Fat Basslines?

Where are they?

Doing fine in the house and minimal scene.
But I think mainly they ran off and hid themselves on the dubstep scene.

Someone go and get them.
