Techno, Trance, Hard-Trance, House, Hard-House, Hardcore, Happy-hardcore, Dance, Garage, Speed-garage, Drum and bass, Jungle, Ambient to name but a few are all genres of an era that has progressed from early 80s to the present day.

You will rarely know which is truly which unless you spend some time listening to underground origins of the music. Picking up a CD from a shop with "Dance" or "Techno" written on doesn't guarantee you have the real stuff.

Most compilation CDs are mainstream and won't be genre specific, no matter what it says on the case. Note, I said most.

I've never enjoyed Techno. I would never say it takes no talent to create, however, because I could not be a critic of work I don't enjoy.

I enjoy Hard House, Trance and some Drum-and-Bass. When I'm spannered off my head in a club I tend to enjoy Hard House the most. When I'm relaxing at home or map-making I like to kick back to Digitally Imported online Trance radio.

Any other time I will listen to Supergrass, some Oasis (older stuff and the tracks with Noel on vocals), Blur, Green Day, Nirvana, Sting, REM, The Verve, Dido, Seal, Eva Cassidy, Prodigy, Queen and many more acts.

As you might see I am a fan of music, not one particular genre. To say any single style of music takes no skill to create and perform shows a lack of appreciation.

If I like the sound of a track, I will listen to it. Simple as that.
