I personally am open to whatever - I think one of the things which makes Detroit techno so powerful is this sheer depth, range and quality of its influences - I find it pretty sad when people start policing what can and cannot be discussed with relation to the music we all love. The sound influenced by Detroit is certainly my first love, but I am also passionate about all music that matches that level of quality - I think that musical purism is just about the most pathetic trait to be found amongst people in the scene (though that's a WHOLE different rant!!)
For my part though, the mention of 'Detroit Techno' always makes me think of the richer, funkier and melodic side of things - tracks like Amazon and Final Frontier are the first in my thoughts. The likes of Mills and Hood wouldn't spring to mind at all, although I do love their earlier material and they are obviously just as much a part of Detroit's history... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 11:12 AM Subject: Re: (313) Detroit Techno > Hmm. > > Maybe my point was, are we in the wrong place to talk about that more > melodic stuff, and the influences for it? > Like, for example, I could talk about wierd electronic disco pieces that > inspired detroit techno all day long, > > but, does that get on most peoples nerves? > > i.e. are most of the list here to find out about current stuff, or hard > stuff, or are you open to whatever and not too bothered either way? > > I think this was my point I suppose. > _________________________________________________________________ > > --------------------- End of message text -------------------- > > This e-mail is sent by the above named in their > individual, non-business capacity and is not on > behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers. > > PricewaterhouseCoopers may monitor outgoing and incoming > e-mails and other telecommunications on its e-mail and > telecommunications systems.
