The reggae/dub thread got me thinking about how so many genres, often unrelated to each other in geography and time, have mutated to a sparser, brooding, skeletal version of their former selves.
Why there and then? how does it reflect on the audience and environment at the time, is it just another oscillation of taste? What, if anything, can can tie these transmutations together.
What are the exemplars?
