amoungst other things, i'll often flick over to radio 3 in the car on a weekend during gigs on a fri/sat and some experimental jazz shit will often pop up.... chrissi and i are like 'OMG this is soooooo techno'. obviously it isnt 'techno' in the 'genre' sense of the word but it's still techno - a bunch of ppl trying to make music that they class as good.

i think if you take any genre, any style, if you can tune into their frequency, more power to you.

you know what? the sooner ppl get over this genre thing the better. good music is good music. minimal can me really feckin damn good if you listen to the right stuff. it's just finding it amoungst the crap. but that's half the challenge eh?? heheh

Yeah I think the whole genre thing annoying I remember the days when it was Electro, Techno, House, Trance & Drum & Bass now there is loads of stupid genre tags for music that is basicly the same
