Matthew Ingram on 29 Detroit 12"s. With label scans, you choo choo
spotters.
tried to post this earlier but nothing happened...
there were a couple curtin records mentioned so i pointed dan to the
page..he sez
"Interesting list. Yeah, I never got that whole wave thing. I always
thought that Carl Craig waspart of the 3rd wave, I never knew that I was
even any wave...I think this dude thinks I'm from Detroit or something...I
get that sh*t all of the time.
What's more interesting is that if you scroll down you will find a record
called Biotic which he is raving about and he credits it to Kenny
Larkin...hey wait a minute, that's MY record....ha! I'll have to write
him..."
i always thought everybody on techno2 was generally considered 2nd wave,
but guess i dont understand the wave thing either..oh well...the whole kirk
d/detroit-influence critique on that page gets to me, seem likes music
critic bs, instead of listening based ugh...writing off b12, kirkd,
terrace, etc as "reduction" and "too reverential", how do you make that
sort of judgement..calling something copycat is another story, but this
stuff clearly was not that...gee i just thought it was dope
music...everything is influenced by something, sheesh! what a bunch of
nonsense! ahh well..i dig the record section on that page anyways..
btw dan's first mix he's bothered to record will be online shortly, its
pretty nice! will post a link soon..

ps on npr right now they are talking about some mideastern guys who have
remade moroder's "midnight express" soundtrack on traditional instruments!
and playing a lot of moroder's original in the background as well..nice..
