maaaan some people must be spending a fooooooortune on tissues ;)
right on, mark. Nothing appeals to everyone, and one person's shit is another person's manure, so to speak.

however, deep down, most minimal-haters in the techno world are really just deeply insecure about the fragmentation and decline in their much-loved and much-treasured scene, and see minimal as a threat.

come on guys, it's just musical evolution in action! get over it! techno is living, growing, it's not a static thing, locked in the past. if it can't handle a bit of variation in style across the genre then i'm not... er... right.

anyhow, back to those old orbit mixes thud thud thud thud...
