i dont think that other thread should have been closed.......
at the end of the day the guy should be able to say what he thinks on the acid techno music and scene (as long as its not racist/homophobic/sectarian etc)....

i believe he's wrong in what he said about a few things but more over i think he was doing a bit of winding up and you all went for it........
the initial comment was something like "maybe not -but its stuck in a never ending loop that never gets past 1998" definitely wrong imo and i think he knew that he would wind lots of people up by saying that....... by closing the thread (which ive never seen happen in this part of the forum in the 2 years r so ive been following it) you have just more or less let him 'win' and it means people like me did not get a chance to repond to his comments .......

f*ck him if he wants to slag the music off...... so what, the scene doesn't want people like him at the parties anyway...... and nobody on here takes his view on acid techno seriously anyway....

and can i just take the chance to point out to adey that he refers to Stay up Forever as a commercial label that just churns out the same old tunes......

1. yes its commercial cos it sells the records instead of printing them up and giving them away for free
2. it is an independant small label which has a very distinct sound, approach and attitude - it is underground in this sense and it is very popular for many reasons..... the quality of the productions has got better and better...... and to quote someone i cant remember who, what from or where ( though i think it may be on the darc lite release on havok ..... "If you dont like it - get the **** out!"

so why dont you open the thread again si and let people comment or respond if they like......
