True, and I've heard about the sophistication of beat structures by techno musicians and have had a friend count out the structures while we listened to an Astral Projection soundtrack and also some Chemical Brothers. I respect the complexity of techno music and really enjoy it. I wasn't saying that it was bad, but just that acoustic, live, music has a quality that agrees with people better. I think it is the precise nature of techno music that produces the trancendental experiences that enthusiasts talk about. Along a different vector, live music is more enjoyable than studio music because the errors bring a human element that is screened out in the studio.
I swing dance and can tell you that live music just makes me want to move more than recorded stuff, even if it is new recorded stuff that I have never heard.
80's music is best characterised by drum machines and dissagreeable synths so given my musical knowledge it is hard to appreciate the simplistic nature of it. The 70's are where its at! Listen to some George Clinton and tell me it doesn't move your soul.
