I just couldnt fathom how one could reduce such an influential label to the description of bad minimal house - and i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks that. chain reaction and basic channel are not just groundbreaking to me either - that status is a widely held opinion, not just mine. so my reply to you was not defending my personal view, i was defending a commonly held view. again, no hard feelings, just differences in opinion. -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
