God, that's even worse than I remember. It's not only pretentious and poorly articulated, it's just plain wrong.
I mean, most Detroit is about good plain fun, as opposed to a lot of the chin stroking madness these days (which I actually often like, but that's another discussion). It's as if he judged Detroit techno solely based on a poorly written blurb on the sleeve of one of Jeff Mills records (apologies, Jeff) - and even there, the FUN/funk of the Wizard and his eclectic sets certainly makes good for any failed attempts at conceptual art on Jeff's record labels. And not influenced by hiphop??? What an absurd notion. In Simpsons comic book guy voice: "Worst... music 'criticism'... ever..." ~David
