    the same things which Dave the Drummer himself complained to you about when you were the Mod here. I think it was your criticisms of Guy that stopped him posting on here. well done.

    What a load of bollocks. I get on fine with Henry.

    And for the record I've always said it's impossible to be a fan of acid techno and not like Guy 'The Geezer' McAffer's work.

    The bloke's made hundreds of absolute classics over the years, of all sounds and styles and I respect that to fu*k. Hats off and all that.

    My point is, or should I say my niggle is that you must have noticed how many of his tracks in the recent years have been of a very, very formulatic style? Even reviews in magazines and online refer to it as "Guy's trademark RAW style".

    Well I don't like that style. I've heard those loops too many times and they bore me.

    BUT...

    I know from sales, etc; that RAW is one of the most popular sub-labels @ SUF, so people like that style, and fair play, can't take nothing away from him for that. Sale speak volumes. I used to love RAW, it was fresh as hell, then went uber-slack sound wise IMO, and has recently picked up again.

    It's just my opinion. That's all.

    I don't start abusing you because I don't agree with your opinions. They are your opinions, and your entitled to them.

    What the hell are you on about man? How am I, or have I been too high and mighty?

    Freedom of speech. Your entitled to it, so am I.

    I've no power here. If I stepped out of line, I'd take the BOA banning like the next man.

    I just want to sort out what ever's got your back up. That's all.

    well basically you hold a lot of power here wether you acknowledge that or not.

    and i think you are a little to blase about attacking (lets face it, it is an attack) Guy's music.

    I know i am a hypocritcal cunt.

    Some of Guy's music is pretty much garbage, but so is lots of artists, i have stuff by Immersion and Dave The Drummer which is pretty shit.

    I can't see how by attacking him we add to the discussion, and move the scene forward.

    And i think a lot of Guy's stuff over the last few years is pretty good; and your missing something.

    Ok, fair do's. I hardly think me not liking his recent style is an attack on him, but if thats how you think it comes across to you (and maybe others) I'll respect that, and try and bite my tongue a little, or at least be more constructive with my comments.

    Right, I'm going to ban you now.

    Joke! :)

    It's all opinions at the end of the day, alot of us here agree with si in geezer can be a little too formulaic, but then other people still like that sound.

    As for being a mod or an ex mod makes you more powerful, then that's utter garbage Aratron, you're too paranoid for your own good mate, there's no secret society crap on here:lol:

    LIAR! You wouldn't be allowed to tell us if there was! ;)
    A person belonging to one or more Order is just as likely to carry a flag of the counter-establishment as the flag of the establishment, just as long as it is a flag. --P.D.
