My original post wasn't referring to your last statement about never having heard of what's being talked about, so I should have removed that sentence when I quoted you.

I made the first record on Kitty Corner, would you not consider that "serious output"?
Indeed. I was originally going to refer to it but didn't believe it relevant. I picked up the most recent release (004, the TSR one) and that was a far cry from your release, which I also have. Which, given the difference, is what made me curious as to what you thought about the less serious side and whether or not it had a place. From my perspective I enjoy both records equally and don't find one too chinstroky nor the other too silly.

this is my problem with the wonky term, serious, quality output gets lumped in with stupid rubbish, and whilst sense of humour is cool, there is a point where it goes from being funny, to just plain dumb.. remember the geek at school that thought he was being funny, when at the end of the day he was coming across like a dick?
For sure - it just read to me like you didn't believe there was room for fun music in techno. Of course it can go too far - look what happened to happy hardcore - but I still believe it's important that the party tunes get a look in. But a tune shouldn't have to be 'wonky' to necessarily be fun...
