Well, everyone's entitled to an opinion, of course. Personally, tracks
like Air Liquide's "Robot Wars", Kraftwerk's "Numbers" and Red Planet's
"Season Of The Solar Wind" remind me of what got me into electronic music
in the first place. If anything, the fact that a discussion of
contemporary electronic dance and listening music can encompass elements
as disparate as Global Communication's "Ob-selon Mi Nos" and Drexciya's
"Livin On the Edge" is a sign to me of its continuing vitality and
movement.
I was having a discussion with a friend earlier in the year, talking
about the fact that electro was probably going to be hyped as much in the
music press in 1995 as jungle was last year. He asked me: "so when do
you think the backlash will start?"
I answered: "oh, probably about April or so."
