i had already read that in a few articles, in particular one about the
rave scene in england in the early 90's. i could see it happening, it
doesn't seem totally out of the realm of possibility. of course, that's
assuming the musicians are actually going to the clubs and a)
seeing things get nastier and that people were going for harder,
faster tracks, and/or b) the musicians were taking this crappier
version of e (or x) themselves. it's just as possible that neither of
those things ever happened, hence my disclaimer (although i do
own a copy of 'modulations' the book).
