Programming music without soul is like training a deaf mouse to jump on a keyboard, throwing darts at a wall, or telling a computer to randomly pick notes and rhythms; if you think there is good techno without soul, you might as well be listening to the airconditioner And in terms of commentary on "bandying" about the term soulful.... people who heal or musicians, or artists know what soul is
