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.
I wrote an essay on something very similar to that. Basically it was whether or not music was becoming more segregated as we continue to split genres in half. Sadly I forgot to back it up before I reformatted my laptop and cannot find it anywhere on any of my old online journals.
