So many genres, so little time to form affiliations. You folks just don't realize that techno and industrial really have nothing, and yet everything to do with each other. Point is, maybe one artist was influenced by another. Every artist is different, with different ideas, and different plans. Music happens when it happens. If I release a groundbreaking new track, there is always going to be somebody saying I was influenced by (or even ripping off) so-and-so. Regardless of the fact that I may not have even heard of the artist I'm supposedly ripping off! Reminds me of when I was a drummer...A certain detractor of mine claimed I was rehashing riffs from Billy Cobham...I had to go and buy Cobham albums to see what they were talking about... Influence is a funny thing...I have this weird feeling that it happens in this field of music much less than expected. God bonk me on the head if I ever say... "I make music influenced by [current hype]", because [current hype] rolls by fast... Meester Cameron On now Electric Eye "Closed Circuit" having my cake and eating it too....
