(even though this wasn't a response to my post) you could use your statements right there to sum up what i was trying to say earlier. (that if you're not speaking with your own voice, then shut the fuck up.) that's basically it. of course there will be people who just puke out what they digest. but so what? i don't have to list to, respect or care about them. just more crap to wade through. and here's a perfect example of someone doing something not-so-new, but doing it excellently: muziq. he's secretly wanted to be aphex twin for a long time, then he went pure dnb. but i think as far as kinda straight-ahead dnb goes, his most recent work was probably the best of the bunch. (dnb mind you) it's not so new, not so fresh, but it's excellently done. that's all it takes: just be excellent. :) same goes for vulva. their sound wasn't so new, but they did it excellently. but when Buck McSmith gets a lot of groovegear for christmas and heard a couple gescom tracks and says "i can do that!", so what? he can't do it as well, so why bother? (here's one thing everyone should remember on this list: that everything everyone says on here is their opinion. we shouldn't ever have to actually explicitly state IMHO or anything like that. it should be understood. (including this)) whatever. --- eric sherman xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx doubtful productions www.doubtful.com
