Its nothing that is going to give me the goosebumps and inspire me. Im a big fan of poetry and non-computerized instruments, being a musician myself, and none of these except the rozart mix contain any of that, at least not that I could recognize. I suppose that explains why I dont like it. Its just not music to my ears, its a bunch of weird noises that dont make any sense and fail to get through to me. I cant make myself like it. Actually, the first one probably appealed to me the most.
Ill admit, not just anybody can do it. Not just anybody can make rap music either, but that doesnt make me like it.

I'll tell you the Rolling Stones are complete **** compared to good electronic music. I mean, the art of crafting electronic music comes from the fact that you have an infinite number of timbres, and have to have just a good enough ear to hear, and assemble, the right ones. People like Pierre Schaffer, Stockhausen, Varese, etc. new this when they pushed for new radical music, which was immediately close-mindedly dismissed.
However, the Stones would take out their guitars, dredge up 40 year old blues rock rhythms, and instruments. Limiting their timbre to an extremely small range of already successful formulas, and then just piece them together. Essentially, limiting their range of failure to nothing by playing low risks.
I'm betting you're the kind of guy that will call the latter musically perfect, or legends. That's the problem, Electronic musicians deserve respect. Furthermore, they deserve to not be blindly generalized. "maybe I could get into it if I had some ecstasy in my system and felt like dancing" is an illogical statement that proves that even if you've heard these pieces, you're really not listening to them.
