Well it seems all the mainstream press are getting on the electronia bandwagon. There was an article in the Sunday Inquirer called "Just how live is electronica's wire?" Actually it's a pretty poor article by the Philadelphia Inquirer's music critic Tom Moon. There is an accompanying article which lists classic examples of electronic dance music or "classics of the genre" as the article states. Kraftwerk - TEX Brian Eno - Music for Airports Steve Reich - Music for 18 musicians Aphex Twin - SAW I & II BT - Ima FSOL - Dead Cities Chemical Brothers - Setting Sun TEK 9 - It's not what you think it is!? Goldie - Timeless LTJ Bukem presents - Logical Progressions The article talks about MTV's AMP and the singles by Bowie and U2, both of whom the writer calls "trend chasers" rather than trend setters. A bit from one of the paragraphs ...there is a budding industry of people - artists, managers, record executives who think electronica (jungle, techno, ambient techno, drums and bass, the list of sub genres goes on) is the new frontier... Oh Oh! Alec McKay

perhaps they're all taking cues from Billboard magazine which featured an article (on the cover) on "alternative" rock sales dropping & major labels pushing electronic & dance music as the next big thing?
