Take a look at Detroit Escalator Company
or Nuron: they don't make much music like
this anymore.
Man I have been yacking this tune for the longest......One need not be a
Bio-chemist to see that!
What to do? Make better music ourselves or beg the fck! out of Paul and
Steve(Pickton), or shut the fck! up........These seem to be about our only
choices..........I do agree with you in many of your comments however.
Why just this morning I was listening to Nuron thinking, these cats like
Tek-head and Have-it-all(and another by the initials of Jk!) must be putting
me on(Blowing me off)........They COULDNT be listening to these guys(Stasis
& Nuron).......
With Nuron, reminds me of Miles Davis or Lee Morgan. You know its him when
you first hear any of his tracks....The mark of distinction....
For any of you, go back and listen to his remix of Travellor(by
Stasis).........U'll see what I mean....U'll See!
Hk!
