While the Laptop techno article isn't terrible (given that this isnt
really their area of expertese), the article over moby and the 'secret
machines of electronic music' were quite awful.
The Moby article was educational in that they explained exactly how Moby
sold out. It turns out that every single song on that cd was licensed to
some sort of advertisement or movie etc. It seems that the album was
designed entirely to sell to the masses and hes been working on another
album which even he himself admitted is essentially the same album all over
again pureley to sell more records.
Don't get me started on that secret machines of electronic music article
though...it was rediculous. They had these incredibly stupid nick-names for
each of the machines and covered stuff that I really wouldnt have bothered
with at all. When talking about the TB-303 'The Mutant' (this is off the
top of my head, i dont have the article with me so this may not be 100% on
count), they had an interview with some producer who was talking about doing
some track with a TB-303 and how the studio heard the track and called him
up and said that the tb-303 had to be compressed because it was fucking up
when recorded to DAT (or something like that) and he tried to make a big
deal about how they had to compress his bassline like that doesn't happen
all the time.
