Rock n'roll is for > old people. What the hell are you talking about? Just because a electronic track might use minor amounts of guitar, than it is rock n roll and therefore sucks Man! And people think I am picky and critical. I definitely think that you can still make great music using keyboards, guitars, digeridoos, and 100s of other instruments. As long as you use them in a creative way (vs a cliche way). > ;) Seriously, I like all of Carl's other work that > I've heard. He's > written more than his share of bonafide Techno > classics.

Wow. we obviously disagree on that. I think Landcruising is one of my all time favorite techno/idm cds of all times. It's definitely up there with all the old Aphex Twin and Autechre stuff. So do you not like anything at all with guitars? I can't stand most rock. I do really like stuff like My Bloody Valentine, Flying Saucer Attack, Stereolab and alot of stuff on the Kranky label. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
