Moby and Arpeggiators are music of course, and mostly dance, so what are you implying, floo? :) Anyways, Moby has some decent ambient stuff...lotsa 606 sounding stuff too.

Agreed. But the "Age of Trance" compilation CD which I suggested in my last post has the subtitle "a new generation of intelligenct dancemusic" Many times it's been suggested to do away with labels -- trying to use terms to define music. I say forums should be define by giving artists' names as examples. There's plenty of examples...these should be used moreso than genre names. Then again, what do I know...? It's up to you. -djkc
