blindly embracing anything prolly aint the best policy. but that has
nothing to do with the fact that it's an advance. if it's not one you
choose to utilize, great. no one's saying it's a requirement.
the hardware and the skills required to dj are exactly the same -- so
how does this detract from the human(ity) interface with the technology?

Anyone see the newest issue of Remix magazine (Massive Attack cover)?
There are a few reactions to Chris Cowie's statements about doing away
with
vinyl in favor of mp3s and Final Scratch. Not sure what issue his
statements were in - however - one letter writer was from the Detroit
area
and mentioned how the philosophy behind techno music was less about
blindly
embracing technological "advances" and more about the humanity behind
the
machine. I still have the issue with the letter but not the issue that
the
writer was responding to. If anyone does have it could they pass it
along
as it seems Remix's website doesn't have it available.
I'd like to hear other people's responses to this topic but if it
degrades
into a vinyl vs. Final Scratch argument then I'm bowing out.
