hehe. cheers matey. thats propper considderation that for us who cant use rapidshare.
good lad.
I really tried to get into this set....I really tried...but, sorry I dont get it?? Stuff that only has 4 sounds isnt my cup of tea - very unimaginative and uncreative load of tripe. I guess hype is what all the fuss is with this sort of music??

That is all...
I used to like Hawtin's works.....I used to like Metallica too, until they went all cheesy and sloppy. Maybe you have to be on some serious drugs to understand this set....if thats the case I am glad I dont take them as I would never want to be in the kind of headspace necessary to get into this shite.
I listened to both Parts of this set and at no time did my feet tap. I kinda want to believe that this set wasnt done by Richie and is just some hack in a bedroom somewhere tryin to get his kicks by passin himself off as Hawtin.....thats what I wish were true. It certainly sounds like it.

Have to disagree man, i thought the mix was alright, OK the recording isn't the best, and yeah it gets quite minimal and experimental but that's what techno is all about...Originally Posted by holotropik
To say that you didn't tap your feet at any point is crazy to me man...

This type of techno needs to be heard properly to be appreciated.
And once you've appreciated it properly you can dig the crappy recorded versions.
Well, I went and saw Hawtin play....it was nothing like this set. He played some straight up fun and funky Techno that had overtones of his minimalistic stuff but with a bit more traditional techno elements. I even read through some articles in the local press here in OZ about his next steps. Seems he is focusing more on entertaining and fun elements of playing rather than the hedonistic and esoteric horizon he's been heading to.
I went to this party with a broad range of people (as I talked them into it - some dont usually go to parties). They loved what Hawtin did and found it "very catchy and funky" - to use their words. They had a ball and danced to the whole 3 hours. It was a lesson in Techno really as he came back to his roots but brought some of his new elements with him in a really well structured set.
