I love working on music, and DJing, but I can't seem to find enough time to do either to the extent that I would like. At which time it becomes necessary to get involved with the business end of things to hopefully find that time somewhere down the road. I don't disagree with that idea. I

find this a bit amusing when Hell's latest FUSE album comes with remixes of frankie goes to hollywood and donna summer as well as remixing barry manilow's copa cabana recently. don't get me wrong I think Hell has done these well but i think this just proves that those who are good can

See years from now you will say to yourself, Man, where has the time gone? (working at your day job) I've wasted all that time being a pessimist. Put all your energies into something more worthwhile, buddy. nah. pessimists are either always right or pleasently surprised.

consider this: If you take an elaborate Opera, you can theoretically distill it, all while keeping its general feel, down to techno. Ambient may or may not work, it depends on your approach. But you could distill the Opera down to one crucial segment (which probably was the musical

And with Ford's current ad campaign theme, it's no surprise either that they decide to sponsor such an award, even though they know it's not the real techno. In any case, it's the closest thing at the AMA they have for reaching the intended target audience. Assuming they show the ad

But, it hasn't caught on at all and most likely never will. I can agree about cds but here are a couple of things I would like to one day be able to do, or see happen: technic 1200 midi controllers i'd love to see these made to control digital audio in a mixer so the digital medium can be

Music is just a design feature of commercials, meant only to serve the manipulation of people to the advertiser's will. In that context, music is in service of capitalist mind control. It's worth more than that to me on it's own terms. actually it sounds to me like your beef is more with

I can't believe that there is actually a troll on this list! :-)) Personally I think its a good thing that Ford decided to use such a track for one of their ads. Like the Pirelli ad with a track by Aphex. It kinda helps to spread the *word* no? i too think this is a wonderful thing. does
