This whole issue with conceptual records seems so old to me. I mean look at all the UR stuff, Code Breaker, The Dark Energy EPs, the WPA records, Red Planet, Drexciya. Even a lot of the old Mills UR stuff like Seawolf. Its all conceptual to a point. Its not like this is something new Mills is doing. Ok, he may be taking it to new levels, but some of his most conceptual stuff has been cool. The Metropolis project, the Rings of Saturn thing. So does the concept behind these records make the music any better in the moment of listenjng or dancing to them? Maybe not, but some of the concepts are pretty damn cool. I certainly think the idea of a race of underwater Drexciyans adds a certain colour to that particular catalogue of music and I personally dig it. If Mills has serious artistic aspirations for this music then let him have them, hes not the only one doing it and I dont see anyone slagging off Richie for the whole Plastikman thing.......then again...........oh no what have I started now!!!
