Yet again,passionate.But i'd like to address a couple of points.
1/ - surely some of these new and recent releases from abroad and the UK are aimed at the nostalgia scene.? If not NS by name,at least aimed at a 60's retro scene.Nothing wrong with it in my opinion.But you have to acknowledge it.And if that's the case,the very people who have held the torch (pardon the pun) have a valid opinion.
2/ Nor do they musicians give a flying f*ck if its played in a trendy club in London.Or do they?.
After all, the guys oop north don't know a tune when they hear it.
As for the record collectors,they'd only care if the record was worth collecting.
We are talking about KGF are'nt we? "Cocoon of nostalgia ,rather than seeking out and celebrating undiscovered,unchampioned and forgotten .genius...???.
Which part of this applies to KGF or "north of England on crappy sound systems".?
3/ The scene is evolving all the time.The only people who keep trashing it are the ones who think their musical ear is superior.Maybe they are worried that the NS scene is actually a lot close to their ethos than they'd like to admit.
New releases kick started the soul explosion,(mainly Uk releases.) bitd.Your reference to that, doesn't apply to KGF.
