Attitude problem: I think I'm quietly turning into Ms. Pollard from Pattern Recognition. Only instead of a logo allergy, it's EBM, futurepop, tradg*th and 80s nonsense that makes my life a horrible place. I have had to listen to a set of g*th-aligned CDs for the purposes of review today, and each one had to be leavened with Squarepusher, Aphex, Manitoba and Severed Heads. It was like drinking pints of good Cotswold spring water after gargling buckets of shite. FFS, do the producers of this 'musical' arse have no shame? They're taking the music I loved and recycling horrible and debased versions. I swear, I'm not going to stand idly by and allow this sort of cynical profiteering to continue...

The revolution should not be eulogised

Strange business. At one stage, all the good records were made with Prophet V's (Human League, New Order. Though Martin Rushent used a MC-202 on Dare...), then people discovered DXes that you couldn't program, but they came with a myriad useful patches (which is why all 80s records sound the same. That and cheap digital delay/reverb boxes. I can still spot a midiverb a mile off) and didn't go off-tune when you gigged them. Then everything went samply-samply (Akai S900 & chums. As used by PWEI and PE) for a while. In the meantime, analogue kit went cheap and a hundred bedroom experimentors went noop noop neep bleep and invented techno and acid house. And had the same problem with the gear in that it wouldn't hold a tune worth a light so you couldn't gig it. Then a bunch of mad Germans buggered around with a slew of DSPs for an afternoon and before you knew it, everyone's hacking away on them shonky old Roland oscillators and Moog filters, only this time they're all soft and run MIDI.
Result: Everything sounds like Tangerine Dream.
