What's wrong with chaos in a techno/idm context? Flex your ears man! Abandon the dance for a time, just sit back and let your head spin. Sometimes nothing is more satisfying than struggling to grab onto some kind of solid foundation. But that's just me. A great deal of innovation comes from the recombination of elements of different types of music -- from mixing European art music and folk melodies, up through mixing old-style industrial, industrial-dance and techno (or industrial, metal and jungle, etc. etc.). --Mark Kolmar
