I'm reading 'Energy Flash' by Simon Reynolds published by Picador (1998). In this book and more specific in chapter eight entitled 'The Future Sound Of Detroit' I read some 'interesting' viewpoints for discussion.
simon's been drinking his bongwater again, ugh. Like this part he sez:
European neo-Detroit techno-phunk is music that feels anal and inhibited, crippled by its fear of heterodoxy. Its ‘radicalism’ is defined by its refusals, by what it denies itself –
I wish this book would just kind of expire -- like Simon's drug-addled half-arsed theories-of-the-week nearly always do when given time. I've never been a fan.
