i have no argument with the general claim that there are white imitators profiting on the backs of black inovators. but i don't think it really applies that much to sasha/digweed. there reference points aren't chicago, new york or detroit. rather the music they play-trance/progressive-is influenced by the white european electronic music tradition dating back to the late 70s. it's more moroder meets yes meets jean michael jarre. (unfortunately sahsa/digweed took the worst elements of this tradition) if they spent more of their time 'ripping off' detroit, chicago, and new york they wouldn't sound so crappy. they'd sound like slam instead. james www.jbucknell.com
