Word.

You should play the original sometime.  This was kind of neat the first or second time.

I have to agree with you 100%. I feel that both techno and electronica are completley diffirent facets of music, and yet everyone lumps them together. Sort of like with metal and nu-rock, there are significant diffirences.

Not everything is subjective.  If I tried to tell you that objects, when dropped, most often tended to float up into space, I would hope you would have the good sense to think that I was either lying or very, very confused.

Though I suppose my original comment could have been said a little more nicely.  It's just that people calling every kind of sample-based or electronic music "techno" is a pet-peeve of mine.

Wow, such judgement here.  Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one and so be it.  The person who thinks he/she knows, really knows nothing.  IMHO......

Learn the difference between techno and hiphop, then come back and make an intelligent comment.

You're like the guy staring at the Pollock saying "my kid could do that!"

I would go farther.  All creative work, is in some sense paste-up work.  Anyone who sees farther than most does so by standing on the shoulders of giants, and for that matter, midgets.  Even if you only raise an art or science by a couple of metaphorical millimeters, that's a couple millimeters more than we had before.

One of the worst aspects of our corporate-dominated culture, and the complicated web of propaganda and legislation that constitutes the concept "intellectual property" (the term is in itself propaganda) is the denigration of that aspect of how creativity works.   While it's true that some things are more obviously derivative than others, it's also true that every creative work derives in some fashion from some previous creative work.

Before the commercialization, corporitisation and commodification of culture which took place in the last century, people were much more free in this aspect of their creative works.  That's why there are, for example, so many interesting and different versions of any old folk song .  I have at least 20 versions of John Henry, just to take one for instance.

Indeed some of historys most creative and talented work could be derided as 'paste up' work.  Shakespeare, to take a famous example, hardly created any plots at all.  Most of his plays were retellings of existing works.  It was the skill and mastery with which he retold the story that made it art, not the 'originality'.  Yet no one derides Shakespeare as a "paste-up artist".  Of course, by today's standards he might be guilty of copyright violation.

Strange, yet, satisfying.

If a client wanted an old ad of theirs re-worked, then that was the job.  Designers are seldom in the position to tell clients where to spend their money.   The creativity and intelligence are expressed by the ability to complete a limited-resource job for a tight-fisted client.  If you're referring to the collage aspect of this song, there is a pretty long history of creativity and intelligence which has been referred to below.
