What I meant was (and please let this be the last post on this aspect of the thread), and what I tried to explain further down the post-the hard techno tracks seem pretty damn repetitive and mindless to my ears, whereas the ambient ones are too formless to be dance music or even worthwhile listening (most may disagree). I'm not panning fsol in general as not idm, but this album doesn't seem to be, and I'm not interested on spending money on any other albums that sound like this, so I was asking other's opinions on Dead Cities and fsol in general. Ok, let this end here. Sam
