I think the 'hi tech soul' arose from him wanting to present an  
alternative to 'techno' given that the term 'techno' is (as he sees  
it) somewhat debased or misunderstood outside this scene. People  
equate it with Moby or whatever. Derrick rarely forgets a name or  
face, that impressed me early on. It's funny as I think he shares his  
birthday with Russell Crowe, who is equally misunderstood! Russell  
sounds off but is someone who is very immediate with people and  
absorbs a lot within his surrounds (so I can ascertain from people  
who've worked with him). My definition of arrogance is how Depeche  
Mode, esp Dave Gahan, view the Detroit techno scene - check out their  
official biog. That scene stood by them, embraced them, gave them  
additional cred and... they cop a major diss. I can't recall the  
title as I was in a bookshop and looked up the index and was  
thoroughly disappointed and put it down!

always enjoyable too...i think it was in high tech soul that other  
detroit guys are affectionately poking fun at him, with respect  
tho, it spoke volumes and was one of the main things about the  
movie that left an impression

Fair enough, but in the case of Derrick, there is a perception though
and I don't think it's necessarily fair. But then I just finished
reading Rupert Everett's autobiog and people think he sounds arrogant
in that but I think he's anything but so it's interesting how people
perceive things and react differently. I was just interested in  
general.

I find it strange people say that of Derrick. He's an incredibly  
open
and generous person to strangers. People grow and evolve too. He may
have had some youthful braggadocio, but what young male doesn't? He
remains one of the most articulate spokespeople for techno. In what
way
do you feel that?

I agree with Rob, the list is pretty balanced I think.
