Nice LP, nice track. However, I have some misgivings abt the underlying idea: that house has somehow been distorted by excessive modernism, hard beats, electronic emphasis - it seems to want to put the genie back into the bottle: "I remember house when it really was a spiritual thing." Catchy phrase, but would I really want to not have had 'glitch house'? Also, some of the prime proponents of new styles in house it seemed to me during the 90s were none other than Blaze themselves. This is muddled or misguided thinking to me.
Note well though, I love Hedge and Milan to bits, love every single thing they've done to bits including the whole of the latest album, I just think the idea of creating a dichotomy between 'rootsy' and 'modern' is wrong and you'll find all sorts of people and soul on either side of that artificial divide. k >-----Original Message----- >From: Mark S.
