“No Day” is a great track and LOL @ the music nerd fight in this comment section.

I don’t exactly know what it is, but the high pitched squealing sound that starts at 9 seconds gave me a headache. It made my roommate’s cat flip out at my computer, though (hilarious).

Point made Todd and I hear you loud and clear, I also would like to go back a few years myself! I have also seen and more importantly heard a few things in my time. I see your point on the current state of minimal and more importantly the record in discussion but one could also argue Rob Hood’s “Minimal Nation” isn’t what is happening now in minimal music either but we’ll save that discussion for another time. Until then, I will keep looking and reading your reviews on current music.

Sorry for the delayed response, Mike — I’ve been out of town for a bit.

Anyway, yeah, I’m intimately familiar with Baby Ford’s Rhythm King output. I guess I don’t consider that stuff to be “minimal” in the sense that, as you said, it was more acidic, more melodic, etc. I don’t hear a clear path from that point A to today’s (or more precisely, 2006′s) point B of minimal techno.

But hey, whatever.

Also, I don’t really need to do homework here, sonny. I was alive and kicking and playing in clubs during the era you’re talking about. Disagree with me all you like (you make a good point), but you can’t take my age away from me, as much as I might like you to!

I also would like to add I enjoyed reading your review of Jeff Mills “The Good Robot” I went out and bought it and that was the first Mills purchase in years, thanks for the tip.

of course baby ford’s take on minimal was a bit more acidic but it still was stripped down to the core ingredients.
