I think the reason you haven't been asked to play is because you don't play 
what the rest of Detroit is into anymore. Though I've never heard a set I 
own a few of your records, which are solid, and have an indication of what 
you play from the comments you've made on this list. Hard and minimal is my 
guess, the way Detroit used to do it, and from all reports mixed up in 
inspirational style. But with the exception of Hawtin, Mills and yourself 
(and maybe Rolando), it doesn't seem to me that that's what Detoit musicians 
are into anymore. I think Detroit and I think Carl Craig, Moodyman and Theo 
Parrish. I think Moods and Grooves and Theorem. They're the ones getting 
attention for moving stuff forward. I like the Detroit sound you helped to 
pioneer. But I think somewhere it got stuck in a groove. And the rest of 
Detroit kept moving on.

I still like what you're doing, and I think lots of Europe like it too. I 
just don't think that your lack of invitation is a personal thing: it's more 
that your sound no longer represents present day Detroit.

I'm keen to hear how you (very very lucky) people at DEMF sum up the Detroit 
sound circa 2000.

Cheers

Rol
