Fair point,Andrew. Back when we just didn't have a place to collectively champion- or bemoan, any given trenders on the scene. I'm thinking those guys would have all had their detractors,given the platform to do so. But- it can't be denied that at that time,the music was fresh/new to the genre. Erik is simply copying a formula that was created 25-30 some years back (tho he IS doing a great job of it-even tho I don't personally jump on board with most of his releases). Thanks again for creating this space for us all to vent tho. :-) T
