Dave Clarke Presents Red 2 - Words Of Wisdom

same could also be said about...

Joey Beltram - Energy Flash

I agree... saw the thread here on it with shitloads of replies saying how amazing it was... when I heard it I wasn't even sure I was listening to the right track! Does nothing for me either.

least I'm not the only one then, I'll stick to stuff I love, even if it is old or 'shit' to most people tho

Luke Chable & Jono Fernandez - Come To Me (Chris Fortier Mix)

for some reason this just repeats over and over (for me at least) nice track, just too long

Of course, the music often does not seem as repetitive if you are in a club and dancing around and talking with others and passing time in other ways so your attention is not solely taken up by the sound... also, your perception of the music changes as you walk around. John Cage had something similar to say about repetition once, I believe -- you never really hear the same thing exactly the same twice, paraphrasing.

I sometimes opt for the radio edits

Just goes to show that repetitiveness isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Indeed. The same case could be made for more than a few handfuls of great techno classics. For is that not a hallmark stereotype of electronic music, that it is repetitive? Part of the joy is the subtle introduction of new elements, for example, a clicking hi-hat loop being built up over the course of 8 or even 16 bars, and then subtlely filtered and tweaked after that while other parts come into play. And then a pause while a white noise whoosh makes itself known before all the parts slam back into existence, aided by the reverberant waves of a flanged crash cymbal.

Daft Punk's video for "Around the World" is an enchanting video depiction of some of the aforementioned.

i writed a song.

The ending to Café del Mar (Marco V Remix) is the most annoying example of repetition I've ever heard- it goes through the same loop for absolutely ages, and there's no indication when a phrase finishes so it really sounds like the track's stuck. Thank God for his 6 minute edit of the track is all I can say.

i was thinking the same exact thing when i was listening to that track last nite. the beginning is actually pretty repetitive too.

the outro of blue haze - steady waters, the track is lovely but the last 3/4 minutes are extremely boring

jeffed - interstate emperors

futuro - blended threat (main mix) - its power is in the repetitiveness but the intro is an overkill..

come to think of it, just any techno/techy track would do.
