jeff mills is a philosopher, and in a way he's like a priest standing at his altar, when he's dj'ing. instead of religion, he performs not only a music show, but also a philosophy. and he's right. the music he's bringing never is just dancing music. there's always a certain story-line in his tale. thats what adds a feeling to his music, which makes him a great artist. the best techno-dj as far as i'm concerned. one of the few artists i'd like to have a chat with.

because we live in a world where mediocrity and superficiality are the cultural mainstream we need subculture to keep creativity alive. I don't say we live in dark ages, in fact its a preparation age in every aspect of modern civilazition. I think what we need is more music that will make people think and feel and not just move, music that will be with them after they leave the club. Mills is so right and true.

what is the track he's playing from the beginning?

[@acidjack]

when i saw him how he played with my 909, i know he is a inventor

[@akis723]

@echoplexb ok here it goes. its just a matter of personal preference. what you take as repetitive and brain frying i see it as higly conceptual and creative. mills' music, as 99% of techno and techno related music is highly abstract. abstraction has one key element: it let the listener to decide what to make of it. abstraction also let the other musician to present his/her own aspect of a music theme. its not about right or wrong but about angle of perception. i like abstract, it makes me think.

@echoplexb: "jeff mills - the bells" = "massively repetitive, brain frying techno"?!!

I'm sure many will disagree with me her, but he raises topics like abortion, left vs right etc... do we really want to even know about these things? Music transcends trivial matters like political views. I don't frankly care what they believe about things like that. Music should be strictly about music. That's not to say there can't be deeper and more creative questions and topics discussed, but why do we want to know these things? It's irrelevant.
