1993 ... For the summer issue of Village Voice, the great Jon Savage looks ten minutes in the mirror and recounts a decade of electronic music. In twenty-five pages tight, it starts all over again, forget anyone (except Madchester, ironically, deliberately?), Says, describes, lets talk. It is clear as crystal, perfect for those who, eighteen years later, still do not see what "soul" that music is the heart. But for you who go by here as by there, which we assume you already know it all on the tip of the filter, it is there new under the sun rising from the rave? Nothing, except the keen pleasure to read someone write about intelligent techno item also sociological and river historian without being pedantic, and through burning questions that remain: What can the music industry when the technology outweighs the Sharing music to his mercy? From England to Japan, is this then the sound of a global village? What music produced for an audience of stoned? "At that time, Derrick recorded on analog equipment very rudimentary, "Nude Photo", for example, was recorded directly onto a cassette, which served as a master tape. When you hire this type of material, mixing should be very simple. You can not do overdubs or add too many items at once, and that's why the song is so stripped. Derrick came to see me, a bag of tapes in hand, some did not even have a name, with titles become classics as "Sinister" and "Strings of Life". "
