First of all, while these were originally dance tracks, I really dont think anyone intended any of this to be dropped in a club. I dont think "dance music" was the goal of this project. And no, it wasn't true classical otherwise there would be no 909, but then again if it was a true Jeff Mills set, there wouldent be any orchestra. Its just a new and different way to listen to some of his music. Its quite interesting, future music techno, eletronic 909 etc, combined with age old sound of orchestra played on instruments that have been around for 1000 years or more. And it sounds allright. Gimmicky perhaps, but its amused me at the very least.

One other thing - this business about techno being tight - what and classical music isn't? I'm sure those musicians are playing to a metronome, only they are good enough that its in their head, and they can no doubt stick to that as well as a drum machine can, because to play serious classical music you have to be that good. I have never heard of any orchestra that prides itself on the looseness of their musicianship, and most of the truly great pieces require an immense amount of precision timing, there is no room at all for looseness, if you arent bang on you screw the whole thing up.
