Patrick, I have no idea what has got you so worked up about this. It sounds to me as though you need to find some new clubs to hang out in. I can't recall the last time I was in "a public space" and forced to listen to this mystical "compositional technique" that you're referring to. My kids and their friends don't listen to it, or go to clubs that play it, either in LA or here in Philadelphia. I've been in plenty of bars/restaurants/lounges over the last couple of years that play Thievery Corporation much more than they ever play anything that fits the description you've been offering us. That was true in Barcelona, in Berlin, in Philadelphia, London and New York. I'm not even sure what fraction of any age group actually goes the kind of club you're talking about, although certainly its not zero. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
