- The following is an interesting little bit from an interview with
- Alex Patterson from Urb Magazine, Nov 92:
-
- URB: How do you feel about techno, and the rave explosion in
- America?
-
- Alex Patterson: It's horrible. Pretty horrid noise some of the time.
- Detroit's putting out some pretty good stuff, but
- Belgian and German stuff, well, it leave a lot to be
- desired. To be quite honest, the best thing that
- Americans can get into is what's happening here [in
- England]. It gives people a brighter attitude on
- things instead of this aggressive, depressed feeling
- for teenagers. I mean, with this hip-hop you get the
- aggressive homeboy, and with the grungy-metal kids
- you get wankers really. Ah well, maybe it's like
- punk after all. I mean, punk started out as such a
- pure thing, and ended up as a record company thing
- that was just used to feed the kids.
-
- I'm dead against computers, really,(I protest! -Ed.)
- because it completely isolates kids and therefore it
- doesn;t let people meet and talk to each other. Go
- meet some people who are really into computers and
- 9 times out of 10, they're really fidgety and they
- look dodgy - really strange expressions on their
- faces from looking at the stupid screen. (Again, I
- protest! -Ed.) It's all brilliant for the government
- to have people living with computers- to do your
- work, order your food - 'casue that means you
- isolate each human and that way they have more
- control over you. It's very obvious, probably more
- obvious in America. (Bah, humbug. -Ed.)
-
- One of my worries with the Orb is that people will
- get really introverted, listen to the Orb, and it's
- almost like they've switched off. So the U.F.Orb
- record is more of an aggressive style than the
- ambient tag that we got from the ultraworld album.
-
- I think I'll go cry now.....
