Hey there. I have no problem with Juan and Juan has
no problem with me. I just didnt like the new Model
500 album. It's just personal taste not a stand against
detroit.

I really havent heard enough of it to really form an
opinion on vocal r&b in general, i know that the
vocal r&b Model 500 stuff didnt really hold my 
attention well though. I guess it's the purist in me.
I just long for the days of classic M500 techno like 
I Wanna Be There, Starlight, Sonic Sunset, The
Passage, Martians At Work, etc.  Those tracks
are very special to me and it's just disappointing
to me to see juan going away from that sound. I'm
sure i'll get over it though. Juan and I will always 
have memories of Deep Space together.   :  )
