goddamnit i hate how somehow i never stay logged in. had a thought out reply to all this mess and now its gone.

so in essence:
it was good to post the article, it lets people step out of their fanboy bubble and discuss underworld in the context of everyone else, not just you and underworld. even though i dismissed 2/3rds of it because i'm and underworld fan and he's a minimalist (something i dont really see the point in), i thought it was much more thought out than the responses it got ("he's obviously never been to a live show") and certainly the accusations of trolling were. articles like these should help forum members articulate *why* they love underworld past "OMG THEY BRING LIGHT IN" and look at what their beliefs are that lead to that in contrast with his. i'd rather be talking about this (because this place *can* talk about music seriously, thanks, it just doesnt happen (as) often), like whether or not underworld fail their attempts at transcendance because of the music's structure, then talking about hypothetical collaborations, niggling unreleased shit, and shit posted on ebay (except for the tokyo cds, that was rad).
