I see. I feel weird about 'genres' and musical labels. I, sometimes, feel that takes away from the music itself, or limits the musician to what kind of music they make. I understand the conflicts that will come with not being specific, but at times, it can seem like yet another class system. I've tried to get into Genghis Tron, but the album (Cloak of Love) I picked up was waaay to techno for my liking. Perhaps I need to give it another whirl. It took me awhile to reallly get into DEP, but my feeble little girl mind finally gets it.
