Hi

It's the first time I write here, excuse me if my english is not very well, I'm from Barcelona and I didn't learn very much about this language at any school.

Mr. Cullen:

I like to see you opening that kind of thread, but at the same time I think you are a little bit involved too in this techno decadence. I tell it to you cause I admire your work, for me you' re THE TECHNO PRODUCER, as it sounds, and I think you still doing great tracks but I also think that in general there are not so good as it was some years ago....

In fact, I never was specially interested in techno music until I started to listen, about 3 years ago, the music that you and your pals do (specially from late 90's to nowadays), to the point that some months ago I' ll started to buy acidous and not so acidous but hard and crazy techno vinyls for mixing.

For example, I think the "atomicalienwhathe****itsays" track in Hydro 36 is great but, for me, is the only one really intersting track that you' ve realesed in this label since number 28, whose both sides are amazing. From your recent tunes I think Arpeggiator, Jack Me and the 4th Dimension remix are good so, and, overall, Hotwire (masterpiece)..... The question is what happened with the rage and energy that was in tunes from the last 90's / first 00's like Hydraulix 9 b side (the guilty of my addiction), SUF 41, 51 & 69 (both sides of them), COSHH 3 (both sides too), Mosquito' s Tweeter, Stretford Wives, BOA 10, the Acid Disco and Break The System remixes or Cradle Cap???? All of them different, all of them incredible and unique music pieces....I' ve said you still doing good tunes but they aren't so original, audacious and variated as before... Why??

I agree with the fact there was great choons around the time of 2001,2002,2003... listen to adam beyer sets and umek live @i love techno, great songs in these mixs,
but i still think there lots of good choons coming out maybe not the same as they were, but greatly produced, maybe not as catchy but come on,
i have listened to loves of gems comin out recently all across the board , im very picky when buying records, ill only get and play what i really like, and my record collection has grow with favs over the last 2 years, im more intreasted in the new stuff than tryin to build a collection of classics,
