Semi-seriously though: a lot of house music does seem (to me) to be gettting a bit too polite of late. Even though I have enjoyed virtually everything I've heard from Geist and Jesrani et al, I do think that they have contributed rather a lot to a trend of too clean, rather tame and 'uneccentric' house. Which is why I've somewhat gone back to much older material which displays a roughness simply because that was all that was possible at the time (I'm talking pre-1990) from the technology available. Also, what new stuff I buy has to have some sort of edge. I'm a bit mad, so is the world, so is everyone I know! I appreciate slightly flaky house too. I tend to plump for a lot of European stuff, some minimalist things, Cologne/Vienna/Berlin sort of things, Brinkmann, even some Gigolo (but choose that carefully!): e.g. That "Punishment" EP thing by David Carretta from 02 (I think) is still very very spine tingling ... I saw Morgan Geist's remix of the House of Jealous Lovers track, by the DFA, a white, avant-rock sort of New York(?) group - a much rougher work than one would normally associate with that Geist - as partial vindication of my burgeoning thoughts (which are all natch, mho.)
