next time you advance a personal opinion, then, you just *might* want to
phrase it in less dogmatic terms that those with which you wrote off the
entire musical output of the "third world" as crap.

it's interesting that you bring up this point, because i just got off the
phone from an hourlong conversation with thomas brinkmann -- who i think
most of us would agree rather epitomizes "german minimalizm" -- and much of
our conversation centered on they hybridity in his music, and the complex
roots of german music -- US military presence in the 60s and 70s introducing
afro-american soul, post-pinochet chilean exiles introducing a latin element
in the 80s and 90s -- and that this hybridity stands in stark opposition to
deep-seated notions of "purity," both racial and cultural, which even now
fuckers like jorg haider are trying to resurrect. in other words, it's quite
subversive. and it entails knowing a *little* something about other forms of
music. but i guess you'd miss that part.
and did you know that throughout latin america, germanic techno actually has
a huge presence? it's very influential in mexico, chile, argentina, with the
result that there's a surprising amount of cross-pollination between those
cultures (btw, i'm not calling latin america *one* culture, either).
i think you need to learn a little something about nuance, and stop assuming
that the thing you happen to like is the *only* thing with value.
