It's a major technological breakthrough for the art of DJing, so therefore it will have both positive and negative aspects. I'm seriously considering buying it so that I can then start playing all genres of music when playing out.
Surgeon's set at Split on Saturday in London confirmed to me what this can do - he has progressed beyond all other techno DJs in the genre right now by using it to cross-reference what he calls proper techno. It was thunderingly futuristic, and sounded phenomenal. Derrick May sounded quite lame in comparison. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thorin Teague" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 9:57 PM Subject: (313) final scratch (fwd) > > Another good point, but being american and inebriated by consumer culture as > I am, I like to own things.
