Hmmm. This is - err, 'unwise,' to put a response in the temperate language which you appear to have left at home today, Techno.
One: you don't know wtf I or anyone was listening to as a kid. Two: I listened to Landstrumm in the early-mid 90's and I listened to D'Angelo and and Guy (Check "Her" for some real hi-tech funk) and a Guy called Gerald. If you transported me back even earlier, my taste were similarly diverse. In '84, I put Wood Beez by Scritti Politti on the record-changer, my cousin put Man Parrish ... I put D Train, he put Cybotron. To me the seams were non-existent. But that's just me. (I.e. there were many more like me, and many not like me). I was also into the Smiths (before Morrisey turned into an arse) New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen, Bananarama (not for the best reasons I admit) Cabaret Voltaire, Bowie, The Stones, The Faces, Velvet Undergound, Grace Jones, NY '60s garage rock ... et al. Just to bring things right up to date, my top picks for the year included stuff from Kanzleramt but also Recloose - and I also bought and enjoyed India Irie's LP. And I'm not unique by far! Therefore I think you're - 'somewhat mistaken'. k >-----Original Message----- >From: techno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 12:01 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: (313) What!
