I think thats horrible.

The state of electronica right now is that no one cares. Everyone just wants a really pumping song that can provide them their club needs and thats it. As long as you can dance to it its good.

If I had the resources to do such a thing I would just experiment like crazy with sounds and different instruments and come up with some original rhythms with instruments, not drum machines but drums.

I have seen alot of piano incorporated in trance songs, it adds a nice feel to the music for sure.

I just think that people should start really caring and thinking about how we can expand electronica and improve upon it instead of making the exact same techno cut over and over again. with different vocals dubbed over it.
Definitly true! Maybe adding some male voices could help, but it would have to be added in a different context. I heard from this hot techno/metal head check that there is Techno Metal, that seemed really interesting to me. I think she said it was just techno with really heavy sounds and bass. Sounds like to me, could be converted into dark stuff if it isnt already. Actual sounds of instruments could help the process along, I am not sure. I just think there should be more techno for pissed off kids maybe. Like metal I like because of that factor and the scales and everything. Maybe an inclination of techno into some instrument playing some cool scales or playing instrument solos. Instrument solos I think already exist in basic form for techno, like piano. I just think adding another instrument could really make it interesting.

Yes, solos I've heard before, but its usually not an intrument unless piano. They usually occur right after or during the climax of a song. I have heard guitar in a trance song before, and it sounded amazing. Most peoples view of what defines a dance song is so cleanly cut. We need to blur those lines. Dip into other genres.

If you think there is no hate/depressed lyrics in electronic music, then you're wrong.

Alec Empire, Atari Teenage Riot, Gary Newman, Panacea, and generally anything dark, industrial, or depressed will have some form of hateful/depressed lyric in it somewhere.
