Interesting that Berns said that he didn't like "house" music because it
sounded too much like disco. He came from a rock background so he got into
"rave" music because of it's industrial sounds. I find that quite common
and I think it's a divide between house/techno and rave (trance, happy
hardcore, etc.) that continues to exist.
