oh no - not the underground v mainstream debate agaaaain , be realistic
can you really see the likes of autechre and aphex climbing up the us
charts? no! , the decline of the traditional 'rawk' market has opened
up a gaping hole but do you really think that acts like the prodigy &
chemical brothers will force the average mainstream buyers to rethink
their musical diet?
the bottom line is the acceptance of chemical bros, prodigy etc
into the mtv / american mainstream circuit is the combination of 2 factors
1. They still subscribe to the traditional *band* ethic
eg guitars , stage shows ,stadium gigs
2. they are *white* , this is a race issue , why has the music of black
pioneers like carl craig , mike banks, derrick may , juan atkins been
ignored in the us for the last 10 years , miles davis had the same problem ,
as longs as it is watered down , reconstituted and sold with a white face
america will by it
put that in your pipe and smoke it
