Re: (313) Trance

Very true Dennis - didn't mean to brand all classically trained
musicians/producers as makers of bad music.

I was just implying that something went wrong somewhere and these
_particular_ guys suddenly wanted to be the Andrew Lloyd Webers of
electronic dance music.

Lemme just try to catch this one before the tar and feathers come out
for the conservatory kids...

There's lots of bad music out there.  Some of it is made by people with
impeccable training.  Some of it is made by people with no training.

There's lots of fantastic music out there.  Some of it is made by people
with impeccable training.  Some of it is made by people with no training.

"Classical" training just means that you know some stuff about classical
music.  Assuming that people with classical training must write crappy
techno is like assuming that people who study mushrooms must make crappy
burgers.

And that, my friends, was the worst analogy ever.
