The new Monobox 12" on Logistic and the upcoming album were mentioned on this list. Many new Detroit techno and house records are mentioned on this list along with many other releases. I don't know how you can complain. Detroit releases have been a little slow coming out the first quarter of this year but I am sure there will be a steady stream starting now and reaching its peak with the Movement 2003 Festival. But it is obvious that you aren't using your resources to find out this information; i.e. record lists, online music samples, and visiting your local underground dance music store to listen to the music. Also, many of the major players who make this music contribute to this list. So what's the problem with recommending their releases? Biased reviews? But the artists are the contributors and the majority of the list members know what good Detroit techno/ house is. There are some real experts on this list that have written reviews for years and one has even written a book on Detroit techno that is a key reference work. Also, I am sure that the majority of the underground Detroit music community keeps a watchful eye on this list, even though some do not contribute. Please stop being so critical. This list has a wealth of information for you to use.
