it's not the [electronic] music, it's you.
I preferred it when they included melodies and structure.
they still do, you just don't hear them/it's not your thing.

Melodies and structure are acceptable within the overall structure of a fucking wicked dancefloor party jam.

i guess its just not conventional enough for me (now i feel old). I like melodies to have a half decent rhythm and aesthetically pleasing note progressions. I also like *some* repetition in some form so that there's something to latch onto in a track. Or at worst, a natural progression between movements. Most of the stuff i've heard recently has none of those 'qualities'. I accept that its just an opinion and i'm not saying no-one should be pushing electronic music further and further. I just think there's a place for more conventional styles of songwriting within this genre, and it seems to have taken second place to pieces that now lack any of the common features of what we have come to know as 'music'. Maybe i'm reading too much into it and the new stuff is just random cockshit.

some people still create amber-like tracks, some experiment to the extent that e.g. autechre does. that's just electronic music.
anyway, it's great that you can choose. you have choice - what to listen to.

all you have to do freeze is yourself until 2012 and when you come out music will sound new and fresh again (cos apperantly.. 2012 IS THE YEAR).
also, if it doesnt you've still albums released previously and xlt discography to find out if its any good or not

Mainstream music is going through a very retro, conservative phase, even the retro stuff revives really obvious things. This year, or maybe the year after, I've got a feeling it's gonna kick off super-wicked-futuristic. I hope.
Pigster: That would be class, I've always wanted to hear music from the future!

i feel pretty confident there WILL be good music even in the future.
theres always been a lot of noisy racket as well but i suppose its just a matter of looking in the right or wrong places. it's a part of the game i suppose.

interesting or not, i'm been around since the very first version of this messageboard and theres always been the occasional "problem with electronic music" threads, so its a really hard subject to discuss cause its a matter of very personal opinion. and with the internet, giving more and more music makers a chance of getting their music out, theres always good music around.

haha, swears was right all along! for me, finding new music is pretty much just finding early stuff first cos im still new to electronic music and since its been around for awhile people already have good opinions of what its like.
so really, im not TOO bothered about the future

It's not so much a case of "you could", more "the DJ at your wedding will play it". I must have been at 50+ wedding receptions when I was a waiter/socially and it's played soooooo often. Great track though.
Anyway, there's no problem with electronic music. BIYC Records is putting the Dance back (in for the first time)in "Intelligent Dance Music". 2006 will be a great year for electronica.
