i'd agree with the original poster... the tweaky 303 filter turn to the climax
is so overdone. it is *possible* to be interesting with a 303 but i don't
think it's as simple as bash all the buttons turn the knobs till it sounds like
a big ole synth orgasm (hi josh wink). i think Off And Gone are the hands down
winners with 303 programming. they use its built in "funk factor" and not the
"tweak til you puke" effect.

yeah but there will always be 95% crap and 5% clever interesting bits no matter
what the genre. as d&b is on the rise now, the 95% crap will be easier and
easier to spot while the 5% good stuff will be harder and harder to spot.
when there's only 10 records coming out a week it's easy to listen to all of
them and pick the 1 you like.

it's a myth. the underground is only "stuff i like that my friend hasn't
heard."
