If Slater wants a vocalist who is "adaptable and into music with an edge to it strange as it may seem", why has he stopped making it?
I am also a fan of his more downtempo material - his My Yellow Wise Rug LP is a classic -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 2:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) Interview/Surgeon So what has Mr. Slater been up to lately - outside of the last LP? I recently found a 7th Plane EP (Shades Amaze Concept - if I remember correctly) and I'm always taken in by his more ambient influenced techno (and Dave Angel's as well). I wasn't too impressed with "Alright on Top". Interesting - just checked his website and he posted a "now hiring" sign this past July for a vocalist with the following requirements: 1. be able to keep in tune 2. be adaptable and into music with an edge to it strange as it may seem. 3. be able to scream if the moment is right. Well, I can do #2 and 3 (I can cry when the moment is right too) - I'll go update my CV send all demos to "Scream for Slater" check it out http://www.lukeslater.com/ MEK "Cyclone Wehner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313 Detroit <[email protected]> il.com.au> cc: Subject: Re: (313) Interview/Surgeon 10/30/03 06:39 AM Luke's got a better sense of humour. ;) Seriously I haven't followed Surgeon for a while, I think there's more interesting music out there. He's good at what he does, I just wouldn't call him an innovator. There's no right or wrong about it, it's a subjective thing. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cyclone Wehner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "313 Detroit" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:25 AM > Subject: Re: (313) Interview/Surgeon > > >> Well he's not as overt as some others but the whole conceptual thing and > so >> is pure Mills, and more respectable folks than I have said so.
