This is sort of on the same topic: I once saw the last half of a documentary on detroit techno on Greek public tv. It was on at 1:00 in the afternoon on a weekday, or something like that. And of course my jaw hit the floor cause that was pretty much the least likely thing for me to see... All I remember from it now was Derrick May showing the interviewer some garage ind detroit that used to be a theater and saying he liked the building. From what I saw, there was a few people interviewed. Oh ya, they showed Juan Atkins (looking sort of stoned and paranoid) going record shopping at Submerge. Does any one know anything about this documentary?

I've been waiting for it to finally finish and hope to get to see it somewhere! I'm just wondering if it ever reaches any other than small independent film festivals and the premiere night in the U.S. (where Morales shows up with his monsterbuilt steroid bodyguards:) Hopefully the film aires on TV sometimes somewhere... There's been a debate about the lack of Chicago jocks (Hardy etc.) in the film, only one included is Frankie. It basically concentrates on the N.Y. scene only. But it does have one unique element to it though: the last interview with Francis Grasso, the founder of modern beat-mixing. I must say I'm waiting to see that particular piece in the film more than anything. Hope there's some documentary footage from that era also! Detroit -let's face it: I don't think Detroit will ever get the recognition (or film) they deserve. People just don't understand it, basically to most dance enthusiasts Detroit guys were just a bunch of loonies who did wacky beats and experimented with modern pop music... Don't kill me for saying this! It's not my opinion but I believe that's the common folks opinion if they had any. -Proffit _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
