Yep, I agree totally Ken. I dunno, I can't really fault the guy at all - if it was anything else I'd be giving it the big shout as usual. I think half the problem with me is that I take way too much notice of what I read. For example, I've read nothing but totally outstanding reviews for this guy, everywhere. So, when I hear his records, I'm expecting something totally life-changing. Needless to say, as the needle hits the record, i get a little disappointed. This is hardly this guys fault! more my own for being such an idiot for believing what I read, but when I read descriptions like that, and follow techno music fairly obsessively, I'm expecting something hot, but it just isn't there. But, when all is said, I hope he does really well - he deserves too, his records sell well and he gets good coverage which introduces more people to 'this' music, so that's a great thing. So, I have no idea what I'm trying to say, maybe I only look at his music the way I do because i saw so much hype. and that's bad probably, and I should stop being an idiot.
