I don't understand how Yes's unintelligible lyrics have anything to do
with Laetitia Sadier's (Sterolab) mostly political/philosophical lyrics.
I have never got a cheesy "prog" feeling from Stereolab, only because
the way they project their sound on record immediately dispells those
attributes. But I am not going to argue that they are dance music, because
they aren't. Just thought I'd see what other people though compared to
my own opinion. Thanks for the feedback.
