what bothers me about so much music journalism is how misguided and
generally stupid it is. it tries to force everything into a lame post-modern
perspective whereby EVERYTHING MUST BE categorized somehow and all
descriptions of x track are supposed to sum up the music perfectly by using
lots of adjectives. it does more damage to the music than respect.
Well that's not too surprising -- most record reviewers these days don't
even
seem to know what 4/4 time is :) The Rough Guides to House and Drum and
Bass
try and draw the distinction between the two genres by claiming something
to
the effect of "a breakbeat can roughly be defined as a beat NOT in 4/4 time
whereas house beats are beats in 4/4 time."!!!!
(don't listen to much drum and bass but I have yet to hear a drum and bass
track that's not in 4/4 time :)
