And here's the real killer - you know why I comment negatively on electronic music. Because most of the original music posted here is from electronic 'artists'. Know why? Because it's just too damn easy to sit behind a PC, press a few buttons, and copy and paste some samples together and call it a composition. When they pick up an instrument that requires skill (piano, guitar, whatever) they then realize what it takes to really compose. If they tried that first and then moved on to synthesizers they would have a far greater appreciation of what composing is all about. The market is flooded with copy and paste artists and that's why that particular type of music is so disposable - it has no shelf life.
