Jayzus Mary and Joseph, it amazes me that anyone takes May's comments that seriously. A) the conditions NOW are completely different than 11 years ago. B) May is a bit of a snake oil salesman. All the Detroit heads are now, to a greater or lesser extent, using computers. End of story. Live playing still figures into their production technique as well. And May's output SINCE 1990 has been vanishingly small. I wish him well and want to hear new May tracks as much as the next guy, but I'm not holding my breath. It's like waiting for a My Bloody Valentine album ... Maybe he's still working on a track since 1990 and just can't seem to play the bassline right. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
