the boring thing about many of richie's sets in the last year or two isn't about what technology he's using, it's about dynamics. he just brings it up, then way down, then up, then down, with no middle ground. it's like being jack-hammered to death. which is why i love the new "closer to the edit" so much ... it stakes out a moodier, more mid-tempo terrain that uses dubby and tech-house textures rather than just all-banging, all-the-time techno. in short, at least on this cd, he's putting the funk back in it. and that's something i haven't heard in his sets too much in recent years (with the notable exception of the overpriced but fun new year's gig in detroit).

You've >seen >one person play an oboe, you've seen them all. point VERY well taken. and i agree. this brings me to another thing i've been wondering about: why is the '303' sound supposedly overused, when the 909 is not? Why are people so concerned with making new sounds, yet the 909 is an exception? curious. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
