i'd have to agree on this one, studio 1, while maybe not something that
everyone would want to sit down and listen to, has some very strong
qualities.
first of all, similar to most other minimal releases, there's almost more
said in some music by what's not added as opposed to heaping together sound
upon sound. just because all music isn't as 'involved' as crank or ae
doesn't mean that it's a joke. that's a pretty strong statement to be
placed upon any artist or release.
secondly, in the dj tool vein, i've heard several good dj's who can dj
nothing but studio 1, brinkmann, etc. and make it just as exciting as any
other high energy set i've ever heard. it's all in the dj/artists'
creativity and what they choose to do and when. timing. something that i'm
sure that every listmember has a good idea about.
as for me, there are times when i'd much rather sit down and listen to a
studio 1, ester brinkmann, plastikman, a self described 'minimal' artist
(urban sounds interview), etc. release than something that's more 'involved'
(lack of a better term).
anyways, my $.02
craig.
