That wasn't quite what I was getting at.  It was more the case that
although the music was accepted, and danced to by the crowd, what was
playing over the top of the beats was swooshy & spacey & had a definite
tinge of blanga about it.

As must be pretty obvious from my postings, my tastes are pretty diverse,
but I was dismissive 7 extremely sceptical about techno & its relatives
until an old friend talked me into going to The Fridge just after I got
back from Belgium a couple of years ago - I hadn't had so much fun in
years.  There's still a lot of that stuff that I don't like, but the trance
end of techno & the better drum'n'bass stuff really has a lot more to offer
than I'd ever have expected.

Maybe, maybe not: there's a lot of stuff that I passed over, but came to
love some years on (e.g. Grateful Dead, Neil Young), but other things that
just never clicked at all - I have a friend who doesn't understand at all
why I can't get into Public Enemy!?
Go figure...

Each to his/her own, and long may the world stay diverse :-{)>
