- > Keep your "those thick brits" comments to yourself shithead , as :
- > a) It will start more UK vs US crap
-
- This I must agree with.
-
- > b) I'm SCOTTISH and take no pleasure from being called British ,
- > whatever that means nowadays
-
- At least he didn't call you English. You live on an island called Britain
- and are therefore considered British are you not?
-
- >as frankly I don't give a shit .... I listen to the music and love it , I don't
- >care about what started it .
-
- You're quite proud of your heritage yet not of the music you claim to love!
-
- >I'm from , we don't go to clubs and try and impress everyone else by spouting
- >musical knowledge , that is if most dance music can be pidgeon holed anyway ...
-
- Really? I'm sorry sir but I've just spent the past 7 months in various parts
- of England and went to more clubs than I would have done normally....
- especially considering I'm from New York! And I had just as many people
- trying to impress me with musical knowledge as I do here... if not more.
- "House", "Acid", and "Techno" might have largely been founded in Northeastern
- USA but the Brits and other Euro influences turned it around, improved and
- perfected a lot of it, or in other words made it what it is today. Both
- sides deserve much due respect + credit. Now, let's have a good time shall
- we?
-
- >like "the prodigy" and "the Smart-E" shit ... we've lost our E-Generation , and
- >I bloody well hope we lose techno as well .. 'cos there's not a lot going down
-
- This is the commercial side of techno which is VERY mainstream in Britain
- (charts, radio, everyone knows about it). There is a very underground scene
- which is rather progressed and absolutely brilliant! The upfront side of
- techno is detering those who simply want to make money off a 'fad' or those
- who aren't serious enough about it by letting them think that it's dying or
- that the quality is crap now... when it's at its best - in my opinion. It
- wouldn't survive around people who work for British Telecom.... no wonder!
-
- Final words and a warning: the "E-generation" as you call it is not lost but
- on the contrary, found! just hidden from people like you!
