Careful about asking 'Is it music?' almost any dance music afficionada has to ask themselves the same question in a dark night of the soul ... But for me personally, it IS music. Perhaps a new kind of music which takes the aesthetic principles of modern art and applies them to sound - CF: The Art of Noise (the name itself is a kind of manifesto, non?). Their early records could be seen as early techno, in which the potentional of Kraftwerk, Devo, etc were finally fused into as much a new way of appreciating sound as a new kind of music....(That's my stock answer to 'Is it Music' anyway!).
Also, I'm happy for people to come here ignorant - to educate on modern detroit dance music is what the site's meant to do, after all. Finally, sorry for preaching to those who know more than me.
