First off let me say this is one of the best and most-factually-correct
threads I've seen on this list in a long time. I too am often aggravated
(and try to avoid falling into the trap of) by people calling a "4 4" beat
one with a kick on every downbeat, or complex programmed rhythms as
polyrhythms.
Putting 3/4 patterns over 4/4, etc. is exceptionally easy with the Roland
machines (TB-303, TR-909 and TR-808) machines that Hawtin and other acid
artists use. The DIN sync protocol used on these machines can easily be
split and divided to send a factor of 4 pulses to one machine for every
factor of 3 pulses to another for example. I'm oversimplifying of course but
the devices commercially available to do this sort of thing make it as easy
as pushing a button. This is not to mention the polyrhythmic stuff that can
be done simply with different note pattern lengths, etc.

samples of this album made me sure I had to buy this. I'm loving it. Great,
thick funkiness. Fufills my Stevie Wonder fetish.)
