i'm with ruffers on this one.ruffers wrote:Dark, have you much of an understanding of dance music then? At a basic level none of the genres quoted would include a "guy speaking fast over a drum machine" although admittedly there are wailing women, something which generally puts me right off a tune.Dark wrote:All those many forms of dance music.. "house" "club" "acid house" "deep house" "hard house" "trance" "hard trance".. not only can no-one (including the DJs) tell them apart, but they're either a guy speaking fast over a drum machine, or a woman trying to sing.
What the hell is WRONG with these people?
The DJ's can't tell them apart? Where does that come from?
For Christ's sake, there's good dance music, there's some great dance music actually, and there's some bad. There's some good goth music, and there's some s**t. If one realises that about basically all music and then takes the time to listen with an open mind then the chance arises to appreciate a much wider musical world.
To dismiss a whole style of music out of hand is crazy.
@ dark: check out some late 80s and early 90s detroit techno. minimal, dark and scary. f**ked up pounding drums, deep & extremely warped synth lines. groovy as a bastard and edgy as hell. and not a wailing woman or a rapping man in site.

also check out the 90s ambient/electro stuff like autechre, aphex twin, black dog, richard h kirk's (ex-cabaret voltaire) stuff on warp records. basically anything on warp would do as a start.
ignore what the charts tells you is dance music. most of that is just commercial "handbag" s**t designed for pilled up wankers in £400 shoes and £600 shirts to wave their hands too.
i dont really think you can claim to operate in the genre you do, and use suicide as a reference point in that way, without understanding the subtleties of the "more intelligent" side of the dance genre.
