In the 90's it was still possible to get famous for just using computers to make music in a way not possible before... no one understood how the fuck they were doing it, it was like magic. It was really novel and cool at the time, but now there are so many tools to do crazy sample manipulation. It does take talent, even with the new tools, but there are plenty of talented people out there....sometimes it comes down to being in the right place at the right time.

@rebusd As i do not care much for neither Mozart nor Beethoven, but rather Miles, Hancock, Bootsie and of course the great hidden treasure of music, Frank Zappa, it appreciated me to see your comment after reading the one on the top

Venetian Snares was probably just learning how to talk when Jenkinson was jamming DNB out in the late 90s.

@dirtylare Did you learn the difference between spelling and grammar in elementary school? Why did you even bother posting period?
if you honestly think that stuff like squarepusher and aphex, is nothing more than a bleeding racket, than you are extremely ignorant, and just hating...
these guys have been described, and hailed as by some people the john westleys mozarts and beethovens of generation x...
these guys all have something in common, there music is totally real, and they're are definitely classified as musical geniuses, like i said before, they're arent just making music, they are like scientists of sound.

I personally compare him more to Frank Zappa... found sounds, shameless pasting/looping, off the wall phrasing, and a perpetually youthful outlook on the entire craft. Of course, he's dripping with Miles, Hancock, Buddy Rich, Bootsie, etc. Some of his performance based stuff sounds like Bitches Brew to my ears... This man obviously has a library card...
