Maybe basic sample based house, but the way that somebody like Moodyman CAn (when the moment takes him) take a sample and re-work it until it hurts pisses all over someone who wants to take a "dance" beat and add a live bass/crap flute solo over it and call it "Live" or "song based". I'd rather take some basic Jack Trax stuff any day. > cheers Jason **** I couldn't agree more Jason. There's a point being missed by some who equate 'progress' or artistic development (admirable goals of course) call it what you will, with increasing conventional musicality. It's something like the fact that sampling and other methods which were originally based quite a bit on *lack* of conventional musical ability, should now be seen as valid art forms in themselves. They are something quite apart and sometimes more refined (imo) than the aesthetics of a live jazz band, for instance.
