totally agree, its such a bizarre genre. theres a lot of wonk which is just static midi arrangements, bit of pitch modulation, distortion and discordance. but then theres tracks which are clearly programmed, so you know there is a smpte/midi clock running underneath, but the actual patterns they've programmed are 1 never the same twice though contain the same samples and elements 2 are almost never in the obvious rhythmical places, 16ths 8ths etc, and then you think ooh, its gonna do that, and it doesnt!! so yeah it does almost become jazz.

boom, tiss, boom, tiss it aint!!!! :dontevengothere:
