I'm not really sure Tetsuo had that one nailed down right. After writing D&B and techno stuff for years, I did a little expirement last year about this time: try and write some pop songs. I got a female vocalist fot the tracks and everything. I actually found it a little bit easier to do. Most accessible music relies on very predictable ] formulas which are pretty easy to pick up. I think the only real challenge,at least for me, was not not to fuck with the sound.
