Yeah... 'Electronica' is a much better general term for the genre than 'techno'.

Saying "I like Techno" is like saying "I like rock" there's one important thing missing; what kind? That's why I just like music period . Everything.....yes....that includes some pop and country as well. my favorite album is Buh-Weet Sings!!!! sry i'm watchin SNL's Best of Eddie Murphy

[quote="Zerophite"]Chemical Brothers are Drum and Bass
quote]

Chem Bros.? When I think of drum n' bass I think of Photek, Roni Size, and even a lot of Squarepusher, but the Chemical Brothers? Big beat, maybe, but in the 3 albums of theirs that I'm familar with, I haven't heard any drum n' bass.

I normally try not to get into petty arguments like this about who's making what kind of music, and so forth, but you know this music better than most people I know, and I want to know what you're thinking of here.

As for techno, I still use it as a catch-all term with some of my friends who don't listen to much music. But I think there was a time that it actually meant something. When I hear early 90's songs like "Speed Racer" by Alpha Team, "Bomb Scare" by 2 Bad Mice, "Trip II The Moon" by Acen, "James Brown is Dead" by LA Style, or even "Charly" by the Prodigy, I think, man that was techno...

Also, these would all make for good AMVs. At least I think they would.

Believe it or not, this was not a Techno flamethread.
It was a hint about a sweet party song.

I've always thought of the Chemical Brothers as D+B, along with Crystal Methodists and the Dust Brothers. But maybe I'm wrong. I've also always thought of SP as IDM, and Photek as Trip-hop.

The Chemical Brothers ARE the Dust Brothers, or actually, they were.

Hello everyone.
