>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. p-dogg
