Get off it, you know they're just out to make money by cashing in on the jungle/techno thing which had nothing to do with any of their previous albums. That crappy-ass house remix of Missing got the dough rolling in and it went to their heads since no one could give a fuck about them the year before Tracey did the thing the Massives. It's like when everyone started trying to rap on records in the early eighties, remember? Lionel Ritchie was rappin'! Debbie Harry was rappin'! Pathetic.... /""'' /"'RESH Live and Direct from the G-Spot Orange County, California, USA

Paging Mr. Merchan, please pick up the blue courtesy cluephone in the lobby ... (Try reading the EBTG interviews in the April Mixmag or the June Muzik first before slagging them off like that ... )

Well, let's see. Gonzi Merchan said "Debbie Harry rappin'" was "Pathetic". Grandmaster Flash said that Blondie doing "Rapture" was a seminal point in the history of Rap, as it helped expose early Rap to a white culture that otherwise would not have heard it or picked up on it. Which expert do YOU believe? - Greg

Errrr...I think the Grandmaster Flash is off on that one. I just want to state for the record that I DO like Debbie Harry. I like The Rolling Stones (early stuff) as well, but I'm sure everyone agrees it wasn't their finest moment when they made those disco tracks to cash in on the craze... /""'' /"'RESH Live and Direct from the G-Spot Orange County, California, USA
