Thats a good point Noah, and I was thinking that yesturday as I was doing
my thing, thinking of how CiM message almost let me down(so to speak)...
NOW, here is my thing:
Ok, forget Stasis, Forget Nuron(not literally but)....We cant beg
ANYONE....What is needed:
Any new or upcoming artist to continue to represent the Lush line of Detroit
styled Techno.....in fact, and heres a message for Steve Pickton, CiM, Lee
N., or anyone else.......Bend the Genre, Break it, Create a New one....if
you are that talented(and i am not denying your ability), then show and
prove!.....Do U not think its needed?
The staying the same arguement is very weak, IMO, DONT BLOW WITH THE
WIND....like some is my advice....but to an extent I agree, lets go ahead
with the music......its 2000 and if there is so much good music out there
then where is it?....
Lastly, it terms of money....I refuse to believe that B12, Paul and Steve
made the music they did for Money...(sure its some where in the back of
their minds to make money but)......If anyone knows anything about things
with substance(any object thats a step above the rest), it doesnt attract a
lot of CASH, it doesnt attract a LARGE following, its not COMMERCIAL & not
Bandwagon-ish Music......ITS THE QUALITY, ITS THE QUALITY that makes it
shine. If they didnt know that, then they learned a valuable lesson in
life!
2 much Said!
Hk!(sorry Tek-head, that ended it!)

This is a good point. But, I believe that the new developments that
occur in
each genre,
the period of time when a lot of creative people are involved with the
genre, doing their best work, is a small fraction of the genre's
'lifespan.'
look at rock, or punk. there was a time when
both of those types of music were the most cutting edge; if you were a
talented young un in
those times and wanted to get involved with music, you would focus
yourself
towards what
impressed you most, which was one of those. hence, for awhile anyway,
those
genres carried
most of the young talent. maybe right now electronic/hip hop is holding
that
place in the us/europe. but probably not for long.
you say 'when you stop looking for new stuff, you stop growing.' and
that is
exactly what is
beginning to happen to 'idm' as a genre. two, three, years ago it wasn't
simple to think of a
generic idm track, the definition was loose. now, if you want to hear a
generic idm track, you can just jump on mp3.com. a lot of new material
has
made it harder for artists to think outside the
lines, and the ones that do just don't get much attention anyway.
so, anyone have contact info for focus, btw? or email for worm
interface?
thanks
if new yorkers get the chance to see liminal live anytime soon, don't
pass
it up; saw them
last week at tonic and it was excellent. live drummer, nice.
noah
