The proper techno we used to know seems to be coming back anyway, but hopefully this 'minimal' can still churn out some nice tracks for set starters. |

| quote: | | i consider minimal a sub-genre under techno/house |
yeh?

o rly?
You prove my point, thanks. The stuff you listen to on beatport isn't really minimal to let you know. |

There are a few individual tracks I like (stuff from Villalobos, Trentemoller, Gabriel Ananda), but a lot of minimal sets I've heard seem to have WAAAAAY too much filler in them and barely any progression, so I dunno, I'm not sold on the genre yet. A lot of songs sound like water trickling through a drainage pipe.
And yeah it seems like this stuff is everywhere nowadays, I miss the good ol' days of progressive. |

| Todays Minimal Techno/House (which IMO is purely non-sense trash of the lowest quality and possibly represents the fall of EDM)which is a real musical (sub-)genre has obviously nothing to do with Philip Glass, John Adams, Steve Reich, visual minimalism or whatsoever... |

Oh and also, Trentemoller isnt minimal. He does dub tracks, electro, but no minimal |

Minimalist music was the soundtrack to the modern era. Music for 707s, brutalist apartments, and classy, glassy lounges full of slinky Danish furniture.
Today's "minimal techno" is a pretentious, self-important mask for emotional and creative bankruptcy. Perhaps exhaustion. I suppose this also reflects the times.

| I love it that all of you will never understand minimal. Don't worry about it, it's too advance for you. Now go slit your wrists to some trance. |
