Re: [313] T.Barnett?
first, i don´t think the deal with mr.davis is similar to the situation with mr.Barnett, i never heard cybotron being referred to as strictly juan´s project it´s also pretty hard getting the facts thru the mediaheads, they just jump on stuff, when someone is hot they all of a sudden scream that name every time they encounter it and all others involved r unimportant. logical, because people aren´t that interested in who did the tambourine on track 3 off the b-side. And co-founder, what does that mean? what does that say about someone´s musical influence...? i just feel nude photo has derrick may´s signature written all over it... maybe heavilly influenced by atkins earlier stuff. that was my point basically... all later stuff from mr barnett is nowhere near nude photo... all derrick´s stuff is clearly similar... 154
Re: [313] T.Barnett?
Haye! I can understand the anger because of the lack of credit for mr. barnett for creating transmat and being involved in a track like nude photo but let´s keep things in perspectiveso let´s seperate the discussions, how important is being credited for co-production and how much difference is there between nude photo and may´s later work...and how does this compare to mr Barnett´s work. no offence to mr. Barnett but let´s not make a myth out of this thing and make it a nice quote for some coffeetable book or sumtin Well, it just seems to be some sort of a pattern, you know? Look at Cybotron's Rick Davis. Where is he now? You see a lot of the people that co-produced tracks or that had a great deal of influence disapear into obscurity. And it's a record like Nude Photo we're talking about here, one of the first records that came out that you could call Techno, so if Barnett indeed had a part in the record, then he has a part in Detroit Techno history... And if we think outside the artistic contribution, he's a co-founder of Transmat, one of the base labels of Detroit Techno's growth. Lay Unconditional Empowerment http://barkingcat.org/counterforce

Re: [313] T.Barnett?
Thomas Barnett ( Visillusion Rec.) advanced the cause of techno by forming one of its most influential labels, Transmat, with Derrick May. Not long after Barnett began making music, he hooked up with May at Detroit's legendary club, The Music Institute. The two recorded Nude Photo, which launched the record company, but Barnett later left to go back to college. He continued recording while there, and upon his return from hibernation, released Unconscious World and Liquid Poetry on the Infonet label as Subterfuge Jose --- Counterforce - Lay [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Haye!

Not to sure what he's done recently though. I haven't seen him for a while, but as of last year Thomas had a regular gig at Pure in Detroit. Maybe he still does. You can also sometimes spot him spinning at benefits/fashion shows around town. The drama with Derrick runs thick and should not be re-visited here. I'd like to know if there are any production plans in the works for T. -- There4IM
