Actually. Me myself has got many years of classical music training and once I thought (or felt I had too think), that rock was the only way because it was played by "real"
instruments and - "oh how good he is on that bass, eh!!!" - "real" talents.

But really, in the end I had to succumb to my darkside and realise that rock as a genre bored the crap out of me. Even if some synths were involved the main thing remained:

A Guitar with a Guitar sound, a Bass with a Bass sound, a Drumset with a Drumsound and some Vocals.

I found that no matter how many variations there were, it all sounded alike. Funny, when you think of my background.

Then a little by little I saw the incredible potential in the Techno industry.
First I got into the David Bowie album, "Earthling" wich I think is great.
I bougth this to keep some of my idiotic selfrespect: It had actual drums and guitars on it.

Then, bit by bit I got more into Dance and House and later: TRANCE!!

I now have more than 50 hours of trancemusic on my bookshelf, and unlike when I listened to rock, I can easily destinct the different tunes by sound, name and artist.

The potential is huge.
Techno can differ in not only genre, but also in atmosphere, instrumentation, mix, you name it!
I'm still bored with rock, it gives me no plesure.

What good does it do that a guy is so very talented at playing guitar, if the tune has no atmosphere and it just is some guy showing of?

Classic music, that'll do. It has different moods and atmospheres just like techno has.

That's the story of my life.
Long one aint it?
