You've deduced a lot from one simple sentence of mine. Could it be that there's something much less sinister than you're suggesting going on here, and that i simply don't like a style of music that perhaps others might like. I was just describing what i personally hear when i hear House. The other point is that you've forgotten my original message which specifically stated that i was talking about the house sound of now, i grew up with House music in the 80s, so yes, i do know about the multitude of labels you were referring to in your reply (funnily enough, I love the old track "Can you Feel it" by fingers inc, aka Larry Heard)...At one point (93-95) i was hearing nothing but House, and unfortanately got a little sick of it.....so maybe that's spoilt my view a little bit. But anyway, I'm not on some crusade or something, but i'll remember next time that my opinions must never differ from yours, Stuart :) -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
