House music lost it's way for me when Garage seemed to take over the sound and when it all started becoming a bit too formulated and gay for my liking.

Over recent years the trend to go back to alot of the early 'feel' of Chicago house by techno/house crossover artists is making me think that this sound is just as good, if not better, than techno.

But then the next day an amazing piece of techno hits your ears and your mind's changed again lol.

PS You all really need to check some of Paul Mac's mixes on this very server:

I also love Chicago house & I agree Mark that House music lost it's way I haven't heard any decent proper good quality House for years I think house music has been basterdized if you know what I mean?
