no there is no term, the term you mentioned is one though. I like to call it
'boring' but thats only cause I have a huge bias against 4TTF cause Ive
heard lots of shitty house and techno. There is no musical term for it,
however, as far as I know. Except maybe 4 quarter note beat? :P
and chris f., thats what I meant, 44 could be 6/8 or 8/8 or 2/4 or anything,
time sigs are quite ambiguous, (but actually classical composers
differentiated in between 2/2 and 4/4 for example, they had different
'feels'... this is analgous to enharmonic tones, ie C# and Db). My bad tho I
dont even knwo the tune youre talking about.

heh, IDM fans and critics do lots of thing sto make themselves feel smarter
probably, were all pretentious motherfuckers, ovbiously. At least I am. Just
kidding. Anyway, I disagree, I think people just look at time sigs easier
than they can look at syncopation, many people dont understand the simple
concept syncopation as well as they should; many people dont know about
syncopation notation for 4/4 (ie dotted note values). but I'm an idiot. just
thought Id point that out, too.
