What do you think Squarepusher is doing?? and please use a different term to generalize all electronic music rather than techno. techno is crap electronic music like Keoki and Moby. >In my opinion -- there is a certain kind of "arrogance" inherent in techno. And off course there is an arrogance with this music, as there is with almost anything that started underground. we think this is better than what's mainstream - true. i think someone who is purchasing the nsync album has inferior music taste than mine. > It was something that I, myself, was caught up in for quite awhile. have you grown above that? i kind of like my arrogance on this subject. >How many techno records will stand out to you in 10 years? which ones stand out from ten years ago?? cb.
