Well, I think that dance music (and it does include Techno) sometimes sound dumb and that like you I feel I want more than the usual club/Disco stuff that we now see more and more, in a way, techno did more to dance music than just create a new style in dance music and a new lifestyle/fashion, Techno was something new and good, but then as you say, we want more, IDM came in officially with warp's AI series and we had some kind of new music that was called IDM, Intelligent Dance Music, t'was somekind of dance music on which we could not really dance to it, I remember, I was in a music store and they were playing Orbital's snivi. and a lot of people were toe-tapping, they had some beat pump into them and must people I saw did not really bought or look like techno/dance-head. So what is dance music now, does it have to be simple and four-four beat, it can be much than that, see what's coming out today... But my point is the more I listen to techno and IDM and Ambient, I think that IDM is starting to be less "dancable" that it was before, and becoming more experimental in it's sounds, beats and feeling. And I add, that even good old dance/techno can be great fun to dance to and listen to at everytime and everywhere. So that's me. Max.
