hello joshua,
i'm not angered by your post in any way. I just
couldnt fathom how one could reduce such an
influential label to the description of bad minimal
house - and i'm sure i'm not the only one who
thinks that. chain reaction and basic channel are
not just groundbreaking to me either - that status
is a widely held opinion, not just mine. so my
reply to you was not defending my personal
view, i was defending a commonly held view.
again, no hard feelings, just differences in
opinion.
