I know i didnt want get involved really. i havent heard ANY of the tracks in your charts so I cant judge and wont . I'm sure they rock.
The thing is he prob has the most diverse taste in music of anyone who has ever graced here. He has gotten up on a hell of a lot of backs too though. i get pissed too when i see a chart full of the same narrow type of techno. Not that the music isnt good.. but wheres the progression? Wheres the diversity people speak of? As for the Dark tag\forum.. thats something that BOA invented for people who wanted to talk about ambient to hardtechno - to industrial - inventive - . And now its like some black mark. As for Chris Liberator? I really dont know what he has done for techno if you fit it into the whole scheme of things ie from Kraftwerk to AFX to Christian Vogel to Daniel Bell etc. But Then again I'm not gonna knock him for the sake of it. I have better things to do > and im not in the habit of pissing on peoples chips. People like his music & he loves what he is doing. Fair dues.
But All this stems from the fact that a hell of alot of people want techno to be wiped of the map and get back to its roots.. inventiveness... because if someone didnt break from the norm we wouldnt be here.. and if people dont do it fast we wont be here for very much longer.
Peace. This isnt a dig at you or your chart.. its an ongoing thing.. its just a rant like yours. And for the record i have the odd Dave the Drummer & SUF records in my collection. ;)
