As someone new to this list, its interesting to see people discuss these matters about Surgeon, and what is and isn't on-topic!
As far as I can see from the tracklist, though I can't listen to it yet- there's a lot of 313 stuff and music that I consider closely related to 'Detroit Techno' in there, at the very least these tracks: Dave Angel - Airborne (Carl Craig Drums Suck mix) Inner City - Buena Vida (Carl Craig mix) - KMS Kraftwerk - Tour De France - EMI Carl Craig - Tres Demented - Planet E Model 500 - No UFO's (D mix) - Metroplex Underground Resistance - Amazon - UR so as for "basically no. and based on the mix posted the other day, its not 313 related" it just seems a strange comment to make based on some of the content of Surgeons mix? Anyhow, If I'm going to comment on this, I guess its only fair I should at least offer my opinion. I think there's a lot of music out there that is related to Detroit Techno- whether its the 80s Italian artists recently discussed as inspiring the whole thing, or artists not strictly making 'techno' but still making quality electronic music derived from the city or retaining the innovative attitude.. people such as Amp Fiddler for example.. I think all these people are fair game. (but hey, I don't make the rules!) as for surgeon, i think his music and DJing is getting more interesting all the time, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing him play in Manc tomorrow night. If I get a chance to chat, I'll mention to him that he has inspired much debate on our humble forum! Personally, I think it makes sense to consider him as relevant to this forum, though not the 'most' relevant of artists.. As a final thing, I'd say we're all 313 at heart, music is just something that is very hard to pin down and what I see as Detroit, someone else won't.. don't let the geekiness get in the way of the music! kev <<WILD LOOPS>> ----- Original Message ----- From: Odeluga, Ken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Placid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 10:11 AM Subject: RE: (313) Does the Surgeon.. > >really command 2 days worth of solid 313 postings > > Basically yes. > > Surgeon makes electronic dance music in the same vein of many widely > reknowned producers from Detroit and beyond.
