Yeah you can say all this, but have you ever heard 'The Dance' by Derrick May
(rhythim is rhythim) out in a club? If you analysed it it would seem it has a
'pretty standard beat' (albeit ten years old) but this track utilises *two*
notes and it stirs up more emotion inside my body than all yer wack Autechre,
FSOL,Orbital and Ninja LPs rolled together.
