how valid is "novelty" techno

[SlavikSvensk]

maybe one day kick drums will get so massive that producers will just stop putting anything else in, and just concentrate on the big, compressed, filtered, wooshing kicks, and each week dozens of new records will come out all trying to outdo the latest big-kick-and-nowt-else hits...

:mashed:

it's possible, you know...

99% is novelty!!!!!!!!!

How many artists that where there 20 years ago are still creating with the same passion and belief, in a scene albeit it one that has progressed. No need for examples. They still speak for themselves through quality music.

Perhaps their popularity has somewhat changed the way they interact with the people who love the music but i would say the love of techno is still there for most of the invators.

Yes I agree there is a degree of watering down of quality. There is also a great deal of people not knowing what quality techno once had for itself. Education is what is needed. The interest in what made it so great and not feeling worried to comment when it's not right for us.

In my opinion it is the attitude and lack of respect for these people that is turning them away from what they used to be part of.

.... when they decided to give recognition to chavs

I tend the find the best tactic is not to make eye contact, and generally just pretend they're not there.

I recommend melting them down into glue.

Brings a whole new meaning to "self abuse".

ok smart asses.. free yourself from the kick drum rule immediately.

Check out Sun Electric's "Kitchen" on R&S. I reckon you'll find that album covers more ground in techno terms than most techno artists will in a lifetime of producing.

Everything from ambient soundscapes to grinding drum workouts and a combination of the two that caress your ears and move your feet.

that's like saying

" ok jazz people , no more saxophones "

but there is
underworld , aphex twin , autechre , and kraftwerk to get started with
it's all techno to me and it doesn't have to have the klk drum
a kik drum does not a good techno record make
and a good techno record is not just about the kik drum.
something i wish poeple would be a bit more open to around here.

i was only joking. and ps all the above use a kick drum. :lol:
