OK, this will probably stirr up a hornets nest but I'm going to defend my statement anyway.
I never said that I didn't like trance. I will admit that my tolerance for it is low- particularly the newer reincarnations of the stuff, but I do listen to it from time to time. Besides, I can't knock the music that first got into electronica in the first place. My point is this. As I saw it, the goal of DEMF / Movement is to showcase talent that wasn't getting their due exposure. Trance has always enjoyed a certain level of tolerance within the mainstream music culture. Wouldn't it be beside the point to start featuring music that, relatively speaking, is already readily accessible? The fact that you can walk into a dollar store or grocery store and find trance cds proves my point. I don't recall seeing music by any Detroit artists at my local Stop & Shop... -----Original Message----- From: theREALmxyzptlk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 28, 2005 6:34 AM To: Odeluga, Ken Cc: M : A : T : R : I : X; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) No Movement 2005?/Secret Life Of Trance Odeluga, Ken wrote: >I remember this compilation.
