If I could just interject for a moment...I lived through "american
electro-boogie:the breakdancing years", and this shit coming out lately
has nothing to do with electro, it's too watered down. Early 80's
electro consisted of BOOOMbastic 808's, mad computer game rhythms,
and
spacey melodies. Where the hell are these elements in this revival?
Drexciya and UR exemplify this style. 'bass camp 808' or 'the final
frontier' are excellent examples. That's why I can't wait to hear this
Elektroids LP...Hell, I cracked many a rib trying to pop to 'soul sonic
force', and 'buffalo boys'!!! I'd think I should know a little about
electro!!!
