thanks for the heads up! you are right, ive been spinning nrg/hard house/techno/and acid...seems as i move down the line im becoming more and more respective of the beats and dont really think much of breakdowns...i like the deep hard rythm that makes you want to dance but also invokes your energy from somewhere other than happiness(like trance). i find it is a lot more relieving and more interesting a journey....definately the road less traveled. jay
