'Nuff said. > ;) I don't think an appeal to authority on this matter is very instructive. If it was true once, it certainly isn't now. They've gone in totally different directions - as DJs and producers. When I felt this way it was before I had really given him a chance. To each their own perhaps, but I think it at least requires an acquaintance with the breadth of what he does. In terms of production, Force and Form provided the clear break for me, and then when I started to listen to his earlier stuff with a bit more of an open mind, I thought the comparison was not very accurate. As a DJ, I don't think that the comparison ever held much water. Surgeon is... medically precise, whereas Mills gets a bit lose (not to reignite that debate). Their styles are quite distinct. I love them both, and there's no doubt that Mills influenced all of harder techno quite decisively, but I don't think you can write off Surgeon as a clone any more than you could Luke Slater.
