so you don't think there's a difference between 'in the charts' and chart
fodder? maybe not! i liked the second half of dead cities but i think
it's their worst LP. and i thought the explosive single was execrable, so
at least it supports my theory to me. but there is a difference between
being chart fodder and simply having something in the charts, surely?
great records get in the charts, yes - 'in your hearts not the charts' is a
pompous statement for sure. 808 state made great records that got in the
top 10, and aphex and fsol have been there before. but 808 state fell to
the wayside, and fsol might do the same thing if they wander down this
hard-breakbeat industro-plop path. aphex hit back though, with
mind-blowing originality that no commercial radio station this side of
venus would ever play, and he always remembers to take the piss in
interviews, so that nasty invention called the top 40 isn't always the kiss
of death. hopefully!
Cheerio!
