X, you been laying rather low round here for a while.
Buzz Gorie's Deep Space Radio rarely gets any mention, probably because it was so damn short lived [[one full summer maybe), and came on Saturdays late nite, where you could drive to the club and hear it but never finish the show. But man, he could blow your mind out with that Detroit sound often identified as "techno" but it was so much deeper and industrial. While Derrick May and KMS are often identified with the genre, Juan's raw style, post Cybotron and Model 500, reminded you of driving by the Packard Plant, drivin' down Jefferson, and influenced the guests that Gorie would have in the studio.
Interesting now how half the poppy radio these days has the foundation of that sound we grew up with 25 years ago, except they've bastardized it with the voice box, the trance, and the soullessness.
We were lucky, and we knew it then. We miss it now.
