most of what you say is subjective, but this is one reason i posted this thread. this thread is about influence, not originality. look back at g's post...he's not a fan, but he sees the point of this thread quite clearly, i think...Originally Posted by deafmosaic
maybe you (proverbial you, not you specifically) like beyer, maybe you don't. maybe you credit him--or maybe you blame him--for things we have a lot of--or too much of--today. either way, it speaks to his influence on where techno is today, not a lack therof.
i don't happen to be a beyer-hater, but i also acknowledge that tons of people i think blow are hugely influential, and i also think that its my least favorite beyer records that have shaped today's techno more than the ones i really like.
