howdy folks i remember reading an interview with francois kervorkian in which he made a good point about the lasting quality of music, disco in this instance. i can't remember the exact quote but his point was that disco was / is comparatively 'coarsely' made as far as involving real players who, as we know, tend to be able to play with a feel or groove and that the combination of these players etc resulted music that contains a lot more 'life' if you like than music which never contained those complex, subtle elements, such as music that is rigidly over quantised or made from commercially available sample CDs.
as we all know the ease of making music with sequencers and sample CDs has resulted in vast quantities of dull and uninspired music. nothing good or lasting comes easy it seems. its not the technology, its the way people use it. it has the potential to produce something that sounds like music with minimal human input. i that people are right be be wary of new technology which even further remove coarse, unpredictable, human input which in turn may result in something fairly sterile and uninvolving. not to say that it won't produce good results as well. anyway it's all pretty abstract at the moment. AND i was listening to the deep dish 'penetrate deeper' comp the other day, very nice, very deep stuff, i think they have progged out a bit since this unfortunately. the bt tracks are very strange, incredibly unsophisticated and pretty cheesy compared to dd's own tracks.
