I'm certainly not arguing for 'originality,' but the same argument can easily be made (I know - I'm 52 this year) for the period in which The Orb and The KLF evolved. The "biz" has always been there, always invoking categories, appropriating and diluting styles, etc. Trust me (or even better, don't! And GO LOOKING for yourself) - there is electronic music, if that's your cuppa, out there which pushes boundaries and stretches limits, and a lot of it is good, whether techno, ambient, chillout, idm, dubstep, deep house, dubby-tech (I'll just suggest Deepchord/Echospace/Quantec/BVDUB, Sven Weisemann here for examples of dubby-tech) out there. If I can condense this to a sentence (and excuse my preachiness, please): Why settle for a distant pulse when, with some work, you can dive straight into the aorta? And the answer is usually that nobody is *interested* enough to do the work of digging under rocks and in nooks and crannies to find it. Those of us who have always done the work of it know exactly what I mean. jeff good point, well put, but is it us, or the music industry that have made things the way they are, fk we all live in the past, but is there anything really that new out there in a industry full of clones developed to fill a specific market.
