Todd Roberts is certainly right about the lack of musical perspective - your
ceaseless self-righteous posts only confirm that. At least mags like Muzik
and Urb make an effort to cover dance and club culture in all its forms and
let the reader decide what and what not to read. I'd much rather have it that
way than have to read blinkered idm-only elitist snot like this. There are more
than a few of us whose tastes extend beyond Rephlex and Warp, and continual
and pointless assaults like this get really annoying after a while.
Sorry for the vitriol, here's to a little more open-mindedness for '97.
