seems you agree with /0 then..... for what it's worth, i view the classical-techno crossover thing with some suspicion and i find the results a tad amusing, like a novelty or a gimmick. i get the idea that the techno musician is trying to buy some respectability by interfacing with classical instruments and musicians. (this is obviously just my opinion so i'm not trying to push it as fact)
