It seems everyone in techno can only relate to things in terms of EGO. That's what's wrong, I'll warrant. Who gives a **** about EGO ? I'm quite happy to say my music is shit to 99% of people, WHO CARES ? AND YOUR POINT IS ? I'm not defending it, I just wish people would not be so ****ing thick and get possession of FACTS before attacking stuff - "Jamie Ball makes distorted industrial" = NAIVE AS ****, SHOWCASING A LACK OF POSSESSION OF THE FACTS... >BUT< saying "Glenn Wilson always makes middle of the road techno, frequently riding on the coat tails of others" well, is that not the truth ? It is from where I'm sat and I'm happy to entertain evidence to the contrary :-o
I have already said I have extensive experience (to my shame) of having to sell Glenns music in the past so I'm well aware of his 'output' over the years. As far as I'm concerned it might as well all be the same record. That's MY OPINION, seems like everyone is getting their knickers well and truly in a twist cause I've chucked an egg at the window of the "MIGHTY" (haha) Glenn Wilson. He's been as much use to the scene, at the end of the day, as the likes of John Warwick (hence why I mentioned Prime and their attempts to fully suffocate techno in an earlier response)
IN MY OPINION - it's 'bout time you folks started to question your 'idols'. How the **** you get 'idols' in a scene where no-one even plays any instruments is kinda beyond me, anyways, but I have an odd way of looking at stuff (apparently). All that glitters is not gold, it's just yet another embossed HEROES sleeve ;-)
I think my input here has been really healthy, personally, but then again I would ;-x
Also, I'll say once again, STUNNING how many people actually seem to agree fully with me yet are afraid to say it. WHY ? If you're not happy with the status quo - BOMB IT ! That's why we have mouths with which to speak and hands with which to write. Simple.
In the meantime, I'll keep flying the flag for brutal honesty (and entertain people in the process if that's how it rolls...). DO NOT GET ME TWISTED, though, this isn't an EGO battle - my point was/is that pretty much anyone could rock this fool offstage...
