Hello all. I'm wondering if any of you could enlighten me. I'm a fan of all forms of electronic music from Merzbow (ouch) to Paul Van Dyk. And thanks to this list, I'm finding out about a lot more artists. (Thanks!) Now, for my question. When talking to peeps about electronic music, the inevitable subject of genres comes up--classifying the music. Although I find genres restricting, I think it still helps to have a knowledge of the many and varied that there are. So, basically, I have trouble distinguishing between all the genres, whether they be dnb, house, jungle, trance, techno, idm, etc. etc. I listen to something and say 'now this is ------". But I'm never sure if I have the genre right. So I'm wondering if there are any websites or anything that would be useful in clarifying the different genres of electronic music. I hope I made my point. Thanks for your help. And forgive my ignorance. -chris. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
