Boy oh boy oh boy, I guy can't exaggerate anymore! If anyone got past
all my blatant gushing, they would see that what I was praising in my
original post were Namlooks concept albums (like Silence, Air, Dreamfish
etc.) These albums are more than just collections of great songs, they
are musical pieces, with movements and themes and "flavour". I too think
his attempts at more conventional trance are so-so, but I really think
his full length albums are very strong -- musically.
I don't want to dance all the time, nor do I want to vedge (sp?) out
all the time either. I think variety is the future of techno, and I was
really just trying to suggest that Namlook deserves recognition for the
boundaries he is continually pushing.
Anyway, I guess that's all I really wanted to say. It was just more fun
to say it the other way :).

Aren't opinions fun?
