I thought this exercise was clear -- pick a color for totally impressionistic reasons. I don't think of music as colors. Though I remember back in the stoner days trying to take enough acid to see the music come out of the speakers, like they say you do in those Sonny Bono Drug Education films. I concluded that there wasn't enough acid on earth to do this. Kent Williams kent@inav.net (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)

before this gets out of hand and blown out of proportion and a waste of everybody's time: someone initially asked about color-coding the verious forms of elecronic music (ie techno,house,ambient,electro...) like how fax initially attempted to do. someone suggested electro could be coded white. that is all. i don't think there were any racist intentions whatsoever. let's stop this thread now. on now:talip ozkan-the dark fire david *+*

Thank you. D O M

I thought racism was behind us. (P.L.U.R) And when I think of electro, white is the first color that comes to mind. Sorry to have offended someone, it was not my intention. Hreinn
