Perhaps I just ate too many
paint chips as a
tot, but it seems to me like some of the best
techno I've ever heard has come from
amateur artists. I've heard a pair of sixteen year old canadians with a
synthesizer and a
drum machine create
beautiful,
rhythmic masterpieces, and at the same time I've heard
professional techno artists with a world of
equipment and financial backing produce a string of
discordant bleats and squawks which, through some act of marketing gymnastics, sells a
bazillion copies.
What is really tragic is that the
aforementioned canadians have an
album that they sell over the
web. I would like nothing more to buy it and listen to it until my ears fall off. But because they aren't an
established artist I have yet to locate their
site, or find anyone that even knows who they are.
Gah.
