Although this has been brought up before, I still am a bit murky about the term. Is an electro tune practically anything with an 808, or is there a bit more to it in terms of the styling of the beats? For example, is Autechre's 'Eutow' somewhat electro-ish because of the rhythms? (The beats on the track sound like breakdance stuff ca. 1983) I haven't been able to buy anything that's been definitively labelled as electro (Gescom, Tusken Raiders, or Jedi Knights stuff), so I can't say that I've heard any good examples of electro stuff at all. Would 'Silver Sound 60' qualify as such? GD
