sometimes ambient music aint got no melody

Beat is dominant in a song for me, if the melody kicks ass and can change how you feel the beat then its awesome!

Most definitely the melody, which is sorely lacking these days IMO.

White noise is overused now days, and the supersaw hooks are too loud, almost drowning out the percussion (damn loudness war).

Anyone who separates a piece of music into "the beat" and "the melody" and then picks one is an utter fucking idiot.

so to those who selected the beat over the melody, you would rather listen to somebody playing drums for an hour? rather than someone playing piano with no drums?

well no matter how good the beat is, i'll get bored.

i writed a song.

techno is the kind of music you can't listen for hours without drinking/taking drugs the beat is what you look for when you go clubbing but a lonely beat hour after hour is so boring.

It would be interesting to see a percussion set by someone like Safri Duo , i don't know if after 30 minutes i'd leave but they used trance arrangements in their albums so i think they understood that percussion must rely on melody even though it is variated.

The melody, melodic soundcapes are the core of trance.
The beat is nearly as important, but indeed, just rhythms makes for a boring music experience.
