It doesn't have anything to do w/ music theory. Some people are physically sensitive to it. Sometimes I find something out of key to be painful. No shit. I heard a blind guy interviewed on NPR once who had to listen to just-tempered instruments, because well-tempered ones were too out of tune for him. Even then, he found some classical composers to be discordant. Personally, I find it to be a curse, especially since there are so many tone-deaf people making techno. There are 3 tracks on Big Soup that I can't listen to, so I think the question is valid. Che On Sat, 17 Oct 1998, Dave Walker wrote:
