I was going through a load of new stuff that I've just got. All the production and everything as always is really high quality apart from the flimsy plastic from europe (which are obviously pressed cheaply) which means end production quality is poor, so sound definition is lost making noisy tracks quite unbearable to those people just discovering the techno scene.
As you say stuff is just hard for the sake of being hard, people need to take the quantity to quality ratio in to consideration and produce fewer tracks rather than churning them out.

One question though. Have you noticed there are alot of tracks coming out that has far to much hiss in it?
