    Minimal is nice for people who know how to dance because the E-Tards cant jump around like it's a concert.

    Listen to Magda's Fabric 49 CD. There is some awesome minimal in there, all different types too.

    This song made me understand the subtle buildups and flow of great minimal:

    I'm not bothered how 'cross genre' it is. I don't care how many techno, tech house or electro DJs hammered it also. It was more a great DJ tool than anything else - you could put it behind ANYTHING.

    My point is that a lot of minimal producers, DJ's and clubbers have this down as one of the seminal 'minimal' tracks. I know an entire semi-generation of minimal clubbers who will go misty eyed if this comes on. Which is why it was the first thing that sprang to mind when the OP asked the question.

    We've got it on vinyl in my house. I keep on threatening to defenestrate the bastard - I don't even like the track. I have to hide the record so my flatmate won't play it.

    I prefered the stuff with a discernable melody tbh...

    Concrete genres are disappearing, as dj I can easily get tired of mixing a whole set with the same music again and again, also producers are creating tracks with loops and parts from different styles, blending them together and coming out with tracks that do not easily fit into one genre.

    Take for instance producers like Facundo Mohrr or Guy Gerber, sometimes you can think progressive, some other minimal techno or techhouse. As music evolves old names die and they are constantly replaced by new ones.

    On the other side of music there's something called maximalism which is a blend of diferent styles, not something I would spin but it serves as a good example of the constant creation that happens in music.

    I'm out of here, don't fancy arguing about a scene I haven't been into for a few years... enjoy

    Ha! Wasn't really arguing per se, but I find it funny that you're trying to "enlighten" some one about a scene you're not even into anymore

    = p

    Cheers!

    @Nicholas: yeah, you are right about genre-bending

    @nephew... yes, I did edit my last post, can't resist... If you'd care to do some enlightening I'm always looking for some - let's have some tunes!
