quoted 2 lines i am of the opinion that "more people> i am of the opinion that "more people > making = better music" is a false equation.
Well, even if you don't agree that "more music" equals "more good music" (and I'm not sure I do either), more people listening to electronic music *is* going to increase the odds that future great artists (whatever the genre) will get hooked on a style I love -- techno, as opposed to the umpteenth-wave ska revival -- simply because they've had more exposure to it. When that teenager with a pile of records in the dance store starts making music a couple of years from now, he's not going to pick up a guitar, he's going to get turntables and/or synth. He'll have a new spin on what he's been listening to, and more power to him. If it's good, I'll want to hear it -- just that simple. .John.
