wow. tom middleton just lost 1000 cool points in my eyes. how could he possibly give josh wink credit for minimal music!? the "new wave" qualification does not justify the complete disregard for dan and rob, not to mention basic channel?
i guess, though, in a way, he's right. if we're talking about mediocre detroit minimal techno wannabes, josh wink did sort of trailblaze that movement. funny thing is, i actually really still love josh wink's older records, quite in spite of myself. and tom middleton has done enough brilliant work in my opinion to maintain some respect for him.
