Totally DISagree with the long-lasting point as well as with the
'electronic music has no emotion' point-of-view! It really comes
down to where you get your emotion from. I get much more emotion
out of electronic-based music than from ANY other genre. I also
get more out of the music than out of singing for that matter.
I still listen to loads of older 'IDM' and I often prefer it to
a lot of current stuff (and this isn't some nostalgia sickness
either). Why do people always think computer-made music contains
no emotion? A guitar doesn't contain any emotion either...it's
what the musician does with it and what the listener does with
it, that gives it life you know.
