    The difference between "inspiration" and "explotaition" is quite clear, no?

    The reason Mirror does not disclose a personal identity yet is because previously it was not appreciated when any form of criticism was posted.

    Being a long term member/observer of the board Mirror has wittnessed it changing from a collective of people generally interested in music to a gullible "Goldfrapp will bring world peace" mentality.

    In their own way, Mirror is trying to kick some life back into this place: so far it looks like that is working.

    But be warned, it might deviate from the general happy-Frappy party.

    Well, this
    proved to be a more productive night than the last one: some good discussing
    going on here.

    Keep it up, see, makes the place a lot more interesting, doesn’t it?



    Thank you,
    Lisa, for pointing Mirror to Planningtorock. Enjoyed that very much and will listen
    more to it.



    Time for
    another question: there seems to be a lot of female musicians working in
    electronic music.

    Is that inherent to the medium? Is electronic music female by default?

    As Ralf Hütter said: the guitar is just
    an ersatz penis    .

    Reflect what you are, in case you don't know 

    I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset 

    The light on your door to show that you're home 



    When you think the night has seen your mind 

    That inside you're twisted and unkind 

    Let me stand to show that you are blind 

    Please put down your hands 

    'Cause I see you 



    I find it hard to believe you don't know 

    The beauty that you are 

    But if you don't let me be your eyes 

    A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid 



    When you think the night has seen your mind 

    That inside you're twisted and unkind 

    Let me stand to show that you are blind 

    Please put down your hands 

    'Cause I see you 



    I'll be your mirror

    Mirror only reflects, and therefore should not be surprised by the one-liners that were thrown back.

    However, Mirror will leave you to reflect on the following:

    future historians of music, when they look back upon the first 100 years of electronic music,
    who will be the great musicians of our time?

    And don't just say "Goldfrapp" or "The fucking Human League" (yes, Mirror has shuddered at your "recommend me an electronic band" thread)

    The Mirror never stops reflecting, smash it and it breaks into a 1000 little pieces.
    But never forget, even the greatest stars...
