....Derrick May in Miami ?!?

2000-08-11 Thread NOvA181
I just got back to Miami on Monday from Costa Rica , beautiful country AND 
the people 
REALLY dig house and techno If you guys get a chance defenitely check it 
out .
So I'm at the Marlin Hotel as usual on thursday nights...when a friend claims 
Mr. May
should be at Shadowlounge(MAJOR trance club) for a special Camel party.so 
we 
head out about 2ish .upon walking in I knew immediately !! He played a 
great set 
for all eleven of us as he said , but there were about 30 his usual style 
house , techno flawless mixing.it was really unfortunate that 
Miami missed out again on another legend ...at least there 's WMC!

funny you should mention farley jackmaster funk when it comes to 
appropriation of other songs.  'love can't turn around' was ripped 
from isaac hayes' 'i can't turn around'. (incidentally, steve hurley 
claims he wrote 'love can't turn around' and that farley stole it from 
him).farley also used the bassline from mfsb's 'love is the message' for 
another track. so maybe technotronic were the people getting the revenge, 
or maybe such concepts underlying them are meaningless.


I wasn't saying that Farley is a saint in this matter, of course not. All 
the Deep house-side tracks on that No vocals necessary LP I mentioned are 
cover versions from original 70's discocuts for example.


These questions of stealing and borrowing are a shady matter in dancemusic. 
Sony trying to make an exact replicate of UR's Jaguar, and make lots of 
money out of it, is taken much more seriously because Sony is a huge company 
(that could buy small African countries if it wanted to) that's clearly 
ripping a small label.


In Chicago scene there was basically just competition between DJ's, 
everyone's trying to be the hottest DJ in town. Funny thing is that what was 
innocent ripping between DJs became the root of bitterness when the bigger 
labels (and money) got involved. I bet Love can't turn around on TRAX and 
HOUSE (not to mention licences) sold much more than I can't turn around on 
RCA, so in this case multiple smaller companies actually took money from 
bigger label's hand, because Farley's track came first. And I doubt if I 
can't turn around had been released earlier it would have been any better 
success. Love can't... is simply more superior track, that's the reason for 
it's success.


And what about Knuckles ripping J. Principle? There's another classic 
situation who gets his/her name on the labels.


I see the early Chicago track-  editculture very similar to the Jamaican 
rhythm tradition, where everybody's making a VERSION of a common 
rhythm-theme. It's when someone's makin a buck out of it that rings a bell.

Re: [313] techno books/postmodernism (was UR in Europe)

2000-08-11 Thread Andrew Chuter
To my awareness there has only been one book that has dealt exclusively with
Detroit techno. That is Dan Sicko's 'Techno Rebels'.

There are a handful of music or recording guides on the topic, but the only
other major book I know of that has discussed Detroit techno at length is
More Brilliant than the Sun By Kodwo Eshun.

Dan obviously has a long and direct contact with the scene. He takes a
historical, just the facts approach and is especially strong on the origins.

I was so glad to see this book come out for several reasons. One is that
there actually _exists_ a book about this music. It's so easy for things to
be
forgotten with the passing of time. Another reason is that I think many
people don't know the true story and this book, in its no-nonsense approach,
is the simplest way to set the record straight. Despite the books clarity,
there are still people who have read it, and think that it is 'just' a book
about Detroit's post-disco scene, or that it should have covered more on
'goa trance'. [see amazon.com customer reviews]

Sure, the book doesn't talk much about techno's later development in Europe
and elsewhere, but I think that is the book's strength. There will be plenty
of other people out there who will write those stories. The book doesn't
really talk much about the equipment and techniques. Same again.

The other thing we might want a music book to write about is the music's
structure and what it is like to listen to. Well, this is the difficult one,
isn't it?

I'm reminded here of something Brian Eno (I think) said. It was 'writing
about
music is like dancing about architecture'. Also, Wittgenstein said 'of that
which we cannot speak, we must pass over in silence'.

A moments reflection on this topic reveals to me that the best way to get an
idea of what the music is like is to actually listen to it, of course. That,
by the way, is not to say that reading about it is fundamentally flawed, or
not useful or desirable, just secondary in many cases to careful and
repeated listening.

Some obvious examples when we need writing about music is with reviews, when
we are trying to decide what to buy, when we are trying to explain to people
unfamiliar with the music, the kind of reasons we are on this list, or
perhaps when we are trying to make a more permanent record for the purposes
of history, as in Dan Sicko's case.

Since most (but not all) of the recordings are readily available, it makes
sense in the case of Techno Rebels to put in a good discography and leave it
at that.

Kodwo Eshun's book is very different, on the other hand. The subject matter
is mostly about D'n'B, dub, hip-hop, jazz, with Detroit techno one style
among many. I got excited about this book because it brought together a lot
of music, primarily black music, that I was really into.

[I'll talk about this book a little here, but forgive me, my copy is in
another country right now.]

In the 1st chapter Kodwo says something about most dance music journalism
being a mean and insubstantial list of names, labels and DJ charts. I tend
to agree. He goes to a kind of opposite extreme to Dan's book, I think
attempting to recreate the experience of listening in words. He also coins a
whole lot of new scientific sounding compound words (e.g.
technorhythmachine) and seems to be aligned with postmodern methods of
analysis. This, at least for me, is fun to read to a certain extent, but I
think it runs into the problems that are hinted at in Eno and Wittgenstein's
thoughts.

 Also check out More Brilliant than the Sun By Kodwo Eshun.  I would say
a
 much more sophisticated and postmodern view of techno, electro, jungle,
etc.
 Has an excellent section on UR.  I would recommend it over Techno
 Rebels.

Well, maybe postmodernism is more sophisticated in a way, but sometimes I
think at the expense of clarity and common sense.

A few months ago I read 'Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals
Abuse of Science' by Sokal and Bricmont. I regard this as absolutely
essential reading to anyone interested in postmodernism. In this book a
number of leading postmodernists (Lacan, Baudrillard, Deleuze, Virilio, etc)
are roundly criticized for the following:
1) Holding forth at length on scientific theories about which one has, at
best an exceedingly hazy idea. The most common tactic is to use scientific
(or pseudo-scientific) terminology without bothering much much about what
the words actually mean.
2) Importing concepts from the natural sciences into the humanities or
social sciences without giving the slightest conceptual or empirical
justification...
3) Displaying a superficial erudition by shamelessly throwing around
technical terms in a context where they are completely irrelevant...
4) Manipulating phrases and sentences that are, in fact, meaningless.

I think Eshun is guilty of at least a few of these failures. The only way
out then is to say that his

No, I do not prefer one over the other.  I am a big fan of the intricate 
structured techno, such as the KOMPAKT releases, and other dry german

Don't you people get tired of hearing all that echo and reverb?


Never.  This was in reference to the Deepchord releases I presume.  Yes it 
is very old ingredients, but when the finished product is simply good dubbed 
out techno, who cares what its context is.  Isolee uses these same 
ingredients and it works.



I know the funky organic tech-house sound is very trendy right now,
people use the word soulful like its going out of style but who do you
think your kidding?
I'm sure Kevin, Juan, and Derrick could have easily looped disco
classics on some primitave one shot sampler if they really wanted to,


Yes I agree that tech-house has become very trite, but they should not be 
compared to early detroit techno.  Kevin, Juan, and Derrick are good 
producers and important for techno, but to try to discredit another music by 
saying that they could have easily made, is useless. Yes, The innovators' 
music is good and important, but they are producers just like everyone else 
and are not gods.  What I mean by that is just because they touch 
something does not mean it turns to gold.


And yes I am sick of the word soulful.

It certainly doesn't. I can think of couple records that are not good even 
if they have the maestros performing tricks on them. How about:


Liaz -House sensation Magic Juan RMXS 12(10 records) -Annoying sounds, 
sounds like the mixing was all f**ked up...


One on one - (10 records) -This one's title I don't remember, it was

itself... Also a Saunderson RMX there, doesn's save it though...


Wee papa girls - Kevin Saunderson RMX -Again I don't bother with the 
title. I remember this one had some awful 303 (???), somekind of 
acid-attempt tried.


Sure there are others, gotta check my crates if I find more hidden 
treasures ;)

PS. One funny curiosity when we talk about RMXs: Anyone heard the
DJ International RMXs of Pet shop boys' version of It's alright? Tyree and 
Fast Eddie did some 909 work on that track, which of course, was originally 
Stering Void's track on DJ International. Nothing special, interesting 
though.

Re: [313] techno books/postmodernism (was UR in Europe)

2000-08-11 Thread JARED WILSON
I would disagree with this post.  Techno Rebels tries to write a history 
of techno.  I would agree that at points Kodwo does drift into a poetic 
phase, but More Brilliant... achieve what no other book on electronic 
music has done, to try and translate the perception of music into words.  it 
is an extremely theoretical read.


In the end I guess we will have to agree to disagree, I am glad that someone 
other than myself has read both books and can give a coherently process the 
information and not just regurgitate it.


I would suggest that if you are interested in learning some history of 
techno check out Techno Rebels, but if you are more interested in theory 
than check out More Brilliant than the Sun.


P.s. the tactics in the other book you mentioned about postmodernism are 
just modernist arguments against postmodernism.  I would rather talk in 
person about this than in lengthy threads:]

Arrington album today(think it was called Songs In The Key of Life or
something like that)but I passed on it.A friend told me his early stuff is
worth picking up,and I seem 2 remember Steve's name being mentioned on  
this

list a few years back.So, should I have bought it??What's his best stuff??

The word is ineffable.  

I liked More Brilliant than the Sun by Kodwo Eshun, but as a work of 
literature, NOT as an informative work describing music.

I don't buy the Eno  -  'writing about music is like dancing about 
architecture' line.  

Most writers about techno and dance music do not have the technical musical 
skill to write about the  music.   Their writings tend to be personal 
reactions and psychological impressions rather that an accurate description 
of the music, but that's what their readers usually want  - personal 
reactions and psychological impressions.Writing about music is difficult 
but it can be done.

Wee Papa Girls?  Aggh! The foulness.
I'd love to hear these mixes, see what Reese did,
'cause the WPG
alone were hard to deal with.

BTW,
Any NY 313ers going to hear Kevin at CentroFly on
the 24th?

 Wee papa girls - Kevin Saunderson RMX -Again I don't bother with 
the

 title. I remember this one had some awful 303 (???), somekind of
 acid-attempt tried.

 Are you kiding me??The Master Reese mix of The Wee Papa Girls Heat It
 Up(Jive)is one of my fave remixes of all time!I thought the 303 line 
was

 pretty good,and the remix as a whole was a groundbreaking one(one of the
 first records 2 totally strip everything out of the original).Awesome
 remix.I think there was also mixes by Chicago Mike HitmanWilson.


I love that mix too, I have another wee papa girls track w/ KMS production
on an old Jive records house comp- track was called we know it. both are
fun tracks- and they mix with lots of stuff 'cause theres the detroit
beats/percussion, the chigaco acid bass, and the hiphop vocals. I think on
that same Jive comp. was one of the worst adonis song i've ever heard, and
also samantha fox :)

 I'm reminded here of something Brian Eno (I think) said. It was 'writing
about music is like dancing about architecture'.

ok, 1st you say:

 I don't buy the Eno  -  'writing about music is like dancing about
 architecture' line.

but then you say:

Writing about music is difficult
but it can be done.

{the refute has morphed into a proof}

By the same token, dancing about architecture is difficult but it can be
done.  ;)

Conveying or communicating any artform in(to) another medium is always a
struggle - as it should be.  Or else the artist would have painted her song
to begin with.

Re: origin of above quote.
hearing it (possibly) attributed to brian eno prompted me to wonder who 1st
said what to me, is such a meaningful quote...
check out http://home.pacifier.com/~ascott/they/tamildaa.htm for the
answer(s).

hint:  there isn't one.

BULLSHIT 
shove your word games dude

There's a difference between words as art/literature and words and a 
descriptive history.   (let's hear some structuralist crap about that so you 
can get the last word in)  

You want and example of of writing about music -  morph yourself to a  music 
library and look up Rosen's history of the classical sonata  - and try not to 
make a smart ass reply till you've read it.

Cim_reference

2000-08-11 Thread Mike Taylor
hello, 

I know I am late on this, but I just got Reference by Cim today. Nice
downtempo 313 inspired electronic listening music, this disc is so good!
if you havent checked his stuff out already, do so. I feel bad that I
have waited this long to buy Simon Walley's music. 

Now I just need to find a few producers who shamelessly ripoff Icon by
Rhythim is Rhythim and I will be perfectly content. 

Take care,
Mike
