How did those of you who read the article feel about Keyboard Magazine's
treatment of the 'techno' genre? After having read the article, were
you left with the impression that Keyboard gave the interviews in a
condescending way - or did you think that it was fair for the most part?
The only thing that would lead me to believe that Keyboard doesn't really
care too much about what's going on in 'techno' is that the next article
in that particular issue highlights sampling with respect to the
'new' avant-garde experimental/classical genre, and the article seems
to be a lot more comprehensively and intelligently written. Furthermore,
I didn't get the sense from reading that article that the interviewers
were patronizing the artists, as in the first piece on techno music.
I dunno - it could just be my bias - that's why I was curious to see
what you all thought..
