i waz watchin this mtv 1997 preview special today... basically the program showcased all the new developments in technology (games, web shit,etc), also highlighted nu movies for 1997 and nu albums (also discussed trends etc...)) anyway..they showed a d.bowie video clip of a song from his upcoming album...and suprisingly, under mr.b's lyrical endeavour existed a happy little drum&bass motif... so what do you guys/girls think: is this good or bad: bad: (elements from electronica being soaked up by poppers... ...trivializing electronicas progress) (mainstream cant innovate, so they steal and assimilate) good:(a way to introduce the masses to nushit...) (electronica raises above the dark underground... ...and shines in its slendor for the entire universe) and so what if this argument is played out..if not interested ignore it im not interested in putting out flames...only in a meaningful dialogue... peace to all with opinions that respect other opinions... o and by the way the best trance trak in 1994: paragliders (humate remix) adios idm amigos, afo at mt.osikanawa design labs.1998

I think the review from this week's NME sums it all up. I can't remember the exact wording but you can find at www.nme.com under the singles reviews for this week. Phil Downey
