emulation does not really push music forward, but i would not complain if another band released stuff that could be mistaken for MBV cause MBV certainly aren't releasing anything and i think there is still a lot of exploration to be done in that vein. the deep chord stuff is a good example of some great music that isn't a total replica, but it does continue and expand on the original (Basic Channel) tradition. >>Please reply if you think anything else (especially techno) compares to MBV > > >What's the criteria?

Hell, >even "Kid A" comes close at times... MBV hold a special place in my heart and no one (maybe not even MBV) can live up to the pedestal i have put them on. I should have said - Can anyone recommend some beautiful, ethereal techno in the spirit of MBV thanks kao jyan
