>When someone says the word revolutio, it doesn't really include any of the
good work done on the issue.  I and I think Carl Craig refers to
>reolutionaries.  Revolutionaries, as you recall from the french revolution
against monarchy, are people who fight against their oppressor.  

the cover of the album describes an interpretation of revolutionary art -
something that changes how we see ourselves and the world, i guess he's
referring to art movements that have shown us a new way of understanding /
looking at things, significant stylistic movements such as cubism,
impressionism, expressionism etc and if you're an artist doing these kind
of things i guess you will feel like you're fighting against traditionally
accepted and recogniseable styles

i remember derrick saying something about techno being a revolution that
didn't happen. apart from a handful of early stuff, how much techno is
still innovative or at least original with something to offer to people,
some kind of feeling or emotional content? i've been bored rigid by a few
recent releases from high profile people who really seem to have lost the
plot lately. i guess a bid for seriousness and maturity requires real
skills otherwise it just seems dreary.   

i dunno - these days i seem to be happy if something is just good or makes
me feel good listening top it. the whole idea of cutting edge / innovation
etc blah doesn't seem to be doing it for me anymore.
