The hidden reason why techno music is a drone
This is not posted buy me but from Bruce Wayne at homerecording.com forums and he tells why Trance and the likes sux A few months ago at mp3.com, I did this big electronic music challenge, must've listened to a couple hundred techno songs to see if I could find some I liked. Actually I found some, not many, it was rather grueling I gotta say. Anyway, some of this stuff is so popular, especially in international markets, your so-called trance and rave music. Now, don't get me wrong, I suppose if you're flyin' on ecstasy in a jungle of colored lights, it could possibly hit the spot, but I found virtually every song in those subgenres in particular to be just soooo uncreative. Even when the chord structure was interesting and they had the actual semblance of a line of melody, the songs still left me cold. I had a couple like that on my harddrive and I listened to them again the other night just for the fuck of it, and it occurred to me what the big problem was.
Those genres really desperately need a good ol' injection of swing in the rhythm. They need to find the swing option on their drum machine and adjust. Could this be why electronic as of now just can't touch rock or rhythm and blues ? Maybe ..
