good point! but the even more BRILLIANT stuff is 'sometimes' it's done
in odd time sigs. I read recently that some track on Chichli Suite is
in 12/8 or 3/4 depending on how you prefer to count. So maybe it's a
'leeedle' progress, who knows. I think there's a Pentatonik track on
Anthology with some odd signature, and I'm sure Black Dog fiddles
aroud with them, as do other artists....
I don't think that those of us who attack 4on the floor do so b/c of
4/4 time signature. Almost all of modern popular music since the
begining "the rock era" has been based on 4/4 time. What I have a
problem with is boom boom boom boom. (or boom chix boom chix boom chix
boom chix- can't leave out that 909 hi hat;)
