you don't have to CONSTANTLY change mediums. you just need to stop playing the same rhythms ad nauseum. heaven forbid that someone doesn't think what rich was doing was all that innovative in his sets last year. granted, he did it first. he did it best. but maybe it should GO SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT. it's just that i feel that the 909-playing was stuck in a rut. it's probably temporary. who knows? the last time i heard him play, he wasn't screwing around with the 909 and was playing records and final scratch and it was more to my liking. he played a few times last year where he was laying off the 909 and i totally loved it. but when you hear him five or six times in a year about and hear him play a lot of the same records and the 909...you get tired of it. perhaps i shouldn't have went to see him so many times on the DE9 tour. (hey...it said decks, efx, and a 909..maybe i shouldn't have been so disappointed in the 909 part of it since it's almost to be expected.) :P -l --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
