I think the worst thing would be if everyone agreed with me. Then there
would be no growth. I just want everyone to know that I am not placing
judgements on anyone one or anything. I am just wanting in-depth discourse
on the subjects I care most about, techno & art (although I do not draw
distinctions between the two.

Well, I must say Jared has gone right to one of the central dilemmas
of philosophy. Do words have a common meaning or do they mean only
what we individually say they do, like we were living in Wonderland.
"experimental" has a scientific and technical meaning that is quite
precise, but "experimental" also has a commonly understood meaning
or range of meanings, for example in music. Fred Frith is pretty
experimental in his approach, I'd say. Or Lee Perry. Or a good
deal of electronic music, even electronic dance music.
You can be dogmatic about this if you like, Jared, but don't expect
us to go along with it just because you say so.
