nearly all detroit techno, and a lot of techno in general sounds synthetic,
so making a "synthetic" album isn't really anything new. the point i was
trying to make was that the preset midi horn, and vibe sounds he uses on
that lp are cheesy. i don't really think it's that "modern" sounding at
all. if you didn't know the chronology, one could think that "internal
empire" is the more recent release. to me the latter is the definition of
"modern" sounding techno. not this pseudo jazz crap that borders on bad
muzak.

you're missing the point. what i was trying to say is that it's a pale,
cheap imitation of mediocre lounge jazz. basically, jazz "muzak" is the
closest description i have for it. the closest analogy i have is those
pretentious wanks in the post-industrial scene, who are making some sort of
synthesized neo classical music, then claim "real" classical music is
"conventional" and "boring". obviously they don't have a clue about what
"real" classical is like...and i seriously doubt you have any perspective on
what "real" jazz is like either.

i actually think vol. 1 is a pretty good album. however, it is definitely a
step back to the old school sounds of late 80s detroit techno (synth
strings, etc).

what's the point? i'm sure we can all imagine what it sounds like...he
hasn't done anything that great in the last few years. i happen to be a
pretty big fan of his axis material, but you've got to admit, a lot of it
sounds the same....the tracks from 93 or 94 aren't really that different
from the tracks from 96-98....
