a wonderful wooden reason
I'm not exactly the world's greatest Jeff Mills fan and I haven't seen him play live for a long time, nearly went to see him at Lost recently but kind of glad that didn't come off.things is... there is repetition and there is repetition. there is monotony and there is monotony.
when i was a techno head i loved guys like Brinkmann (still appreciate his work). and even, on rare occasions, Surgeon at top volume, cuz he would just push it over the edge where the off kilter polyriddims become totally hallucinatory. but mills? i never found anything interesting in what i heard.
I think I see him as more like an improvising noise musician who plays with repetition and rapid jump cuts. It's quite rock in a way. I could wax lyrical about it all but I don't really car that much. I will be checking out those Wizard sets though.
