On the contrary there is, like all music, the good and the bad, the sell outs and the artists. SOme is mediocre, some is pushing the cutting edge, some is downright aweful. Same as techno same as anything.
You simply have to find it, just like anything else.
No one was forced to do anything, and some of the artists who have embraced a change have done some truly great stuff, I think Regis stuff as Kalon has been fantastic.
The suggestion that people will go "back" to making techno is perhaps misguided, if anything those that move with the zeitgeist may just move on to whatever change and development is next.
Minimal is on it`s way out and is dying?
Surely that must mean then that the previous main form of techno is dead?
Or will minimal die, but the older form of techno won`t?
I`m confused as to how music dies?
I thought it just starts with die hard fans, reaches it`s commercial peak, and then goes back to being supported by die hard fans

I think these kinds of fearful raves and reaction always happen when things change.
With techno I din it the most odd, as musically it has always been so fluid, and about change, and the future.
When it changes though, people can`t accept it, because they don`t really want change, they want familiarity.
Just because I don't like Minimal does not mean I am informed there is loads of people who into Minimal are informed about the music as they are into it becasue it's fashionable some of them have not even heard of Robert Hood & some diss him saying he is crap!

I don't like Minimal & a lot of people don't like it at the end of the day not everyone likes it those Techno artists who jumped on the Minimal bandwagon jumped on it for the money & the music they are releasing now is crap as they are only doing it for the money & you can tell when you here it there is no passion it it's soulless crap thats what I think & if people who are into Minimal don't like what I think than thats their problem! It's for poncy scarf waring pricks with silly haircuts end of!
