So this is my final word on the topic I helped to inflame; and that's sorry.
Sorry to everyone on the list for the injection of negativity into the
warmglowing DEMF vibes, and sorry to Alan for laying the boot in when you
were obviously feeling a little hurt.
The intent of the post was to open discussion on whether the hard minimal
Detroit vibe has a future in the city, but the effect was a stupid attack on
Alan. The post was provocative and unsubstantiated by anything that might be
called fact. And yeah, I haven't been to Detroit and can't pretend to know
what's going in the city. It's still producing brilliant innovative music
though; just different to stuff of the past (which I guess is the definition
of innovative).
Thanks to Steve Lammers for a long and heartfelt post pointing out the huge
debt lots of people owe Alan Oldham for all he's done for the music he
loves. (And a slightly less articulate one from Kelley Hackett, who I
thought had been delisted....)
