Trance is not a genre- it is a sub-genre of electronica- which I didn't dismiss as a whole.
Yeah, this is kind of what I'm talking about. "Electronica" is a stupid word invented by Spin magazine or MTV or some other jack-ass corporate racket that exists completely outside the scene that it attempts to describe. Its used to lump everything electronic into one easily marketed pile. Its almost totally an American thing too. Its exactly the opposite of a master genre since it was created post-facto. Its dismissive, if anything. I'm not saying that trance isn't necessarily a sub-genre, it kind of is, I'm just saying that it didn't really spin off from anything called "electronica". Trance dates back to about 1988 or so, and has its origins in acid house and new age/space music, but today its defined in such broad terms and range of quality that its hard to pin down. In fact, my little history blurb there is highly debatable. The underground nature of dance music makes it very difficult to document.
Drum n' Bass is more up my ally- along with down tempo and trip-hop.
Um...but D&B comes from the same computer as trance. You aren't making any sense.
As for rhythm my man- if you get all your rhythm out of a computer...
Virtually all electronic music is synchronized with a MIDI clock or something like it going all the way back to Kraftwerk. The music gets it from a computer, not me.
than you certainly can't dance- much less play the wall sipping a sex on the beach without looking gooberish.
Yeah, I...just don't know what to say in response to something such an awesome statement.
I do have a
LINK though.
