as the east coast/west coast rap all-stars once said, "we're all in the same gang." ;)

anyways, back to primate...

...i think the label was meant to be prime's most mainstream...maybe to be used as a portal for techno newbies into more challenging stuff. as people have said, there are some good primate releases...but i think the unifying aspect is that all the releases were supposed to be accessible. i have a friend who spins trance...a very talented dj, though i don't really dig the stuff he spins. so i have been trying to get him more interested in techno, and one of the ways i've done that is to give him a couple of my old primate records, as well as some countdown 2000 and tronic. stuff that isn't bad, but i won't ever realistically get nostalgic for. he likes them...so it seems to be working...
