I think Depeche Mode are almost universally loved in techno circles - 313 included. Along with Kraftwerk they come up most often as influences. I just wondered what the vibe was on their new album, Exciter. I really like the more fragile tracks, Freelove and Breathe, but am not feeling the alt/country/blues single Dream On or industrial The Dead Of Night, just as those are not my fave styles.
I have heard comeback albums by The Orb, Orbital, Stereo MCs, et al this year and felt nothing for them (never appealed to me anyway) - it's funny for me Depeche Mode have managed to endure and have an edge. Also, Fatboy Slim (I know, I know) has released a single that is supposed to represent his take on 'ghetto booty' - Star 69. It sounds more like trancey techno to my ears. Anyway there is a DJ Godfather mix - DJ Godfather Detroit Getto Tek Remix - curiously enough. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
