Fair enough. Well, there's always next time to blow your wig back. I'm
just happy you had the moxy to be honest. It's all subjective and we
may totally disagree with an opinion, but it's interesting to see how
differently people will respond to the same stimulus. At least, I find
it interesting. Maybe I shouldn't speak for Brian and Kech.

Subject: (313) Re: Strand on MySpace - Hear complete "Intact" sample
Now that's what I'm talking about. Thanks for the comments. I, for
one, have been pretty lazy when it comes to beats in the past, which
I thought was odd because I'm a pretty good drummer. The drums don't
change in "Intact" and I can see how that might be a sticking point
for some people. It is for me in a lot of instances, especially in
the music we're working on now. However, it doesn't bother me in this
case because the rest of the song changes so much melodically.
"Intact", in general, is supposed to be reminiscent of an older style
and feel. Kind of a minimal track with a classic Detroit stringiness
to it.
Well I think it definitely works in that regard, and is reminiscent of
the older style, when techno was so similar to house, and both had
similar arrangements. A great example of this is TP's 'Your Love',
which has the same beat unchanging throughout, and he even pushes out
the repitition to 16 bar loops for most of the track, but it's such a
hook that it carries you with it anyway. With that track I always
wished there had been another version, because I've always thought it
worked despite the arrangement, not because of it. That's pretty much
how I feel about Intact too.
