Songs that affect you.

Ah right. No, that's not what I'm accusing you of at all.

What I am saying is that rave music is simply the same as taking someone else's work and reinventing it slightly, and then presenting it as your own work and having it accepted as such. (On reflection it's a poor analogy, I confess..! )

The DJ can never be classed the same as the virtuoso musician. There is no comparison whatsoever.

OK, you might enjoy and appreciate the DJ and 'his' music. But it's not the same as listening to Segovia or Zappa or Beck (for instance). They were/are innovators, true musical geniuses and creators. They used their own instruments, their own imaginations and were limited only by their own imaginations.

I'm afraid I don't think anyone can say the same of any DJ.
