I`m not saying maths is ugly.
But I prefer to think of art as coming from the soul, from the creative mind, rather than following predetermined paths.
That is what I find ugly

Well I totally agree
And it`s one of the things that saddens me about the scene.
The music is beholden to the DJ`s, and the DJ`s just want a quick fix (not all, obviously), and eventually everyone is ground down trying to entertain the lowest denominator.
For a long time now I have wanted to try organising something that takes away the whole DJ element entirely.
An eletronic music concert, as it were.
Something that allows more time for the ear, and is less about just trying to constantly get people waving their arms in some constant junkie fix for the next high, and more about the music itself.
I dunno, I think too much.
You see that's my problem, I am more of a record collector who happens to like techno. I have had a much harder time finding records that aren't re-hashes of the same formula over and over. Finding a record that pounds my head yet is nice and complex and (god forbid) doesn't sound exactly the same after 5 minutes is a challenge and has been for a couple of years now. I like digging through a record store as much as the next guy, but when I walk in a shop and want to drop $150-$200 or so and leave with 3 or 4 records, that's a problem. It's not so much getting more specific about my tastes as time goes on, it's about a lack of diversity across the board.
