I'm with you on this one...
however, i for one do /not/ regret the broadening of the ambient and IDM
genres. as i've mentioned before on this list, there is more than one
kind of dance in this world, and more than one kind of "measure". while
many folks do respond to repetitively structured music, and this is
in defiance to the second law of thermodynamics <big wink>, there are
a broad variety of dance forms which don't require repetitive structure.
there is also the everyday variety of dance forms which require no
structure at all: ordinary human movement.
