LUCKY ENOUGH TO SAMPLE SEARLING CIRCA 78 /79 AT THE CASINO,FOR THOSE ABOUT THEN THIS PERIOD WOULD TAKE SOME BEATING ,THERE AGAIN SO WOULD THE 6TS MAFIA AND THE EMERGENCE OF BUTCH IN THE EIGHTIES.BUTCH TO ME IS STREETS AHEAD OF THE GAME AND HAS BEEN SINCE THE MID TO LATE EIGHTIES.TO ME SINCE THE EARLY NINETIES THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF BIG SOUNDS BUT NOT MUCH ORIGINALITY.
ONE GUY WHO WAS ORIGINAL FOR THOSE WHO CAN REMEMBER WAS ROB MARRIOT ,HAD SO MANY GOOD NIGHTS WITH HIM IN THE EIGHTIES,SO ON REFLECTION I WOULD SAY THE EIGHTIES SHADES IT FOR ME.
THIS IS A PERSONNEL THING DEPENDING ON PERSONNEL TASTE,NOW EVERYONE IS A DJ BUT EVERTYONE DOES NOT HAVE RECORDS THAT SHAKE YOU TO THE CORE IE BUTCHES MASQUERADERS COVER UP IS ONE THAT SPRINGS TO MIND,AS CHARACTERS DROP FROM THE SCENE DUE TO POLITICS ETC WE LOSE SOME OF THE ORIGINALITY [THATS SAD IN MY EYES]
