and you need to appologize for being so jugdmental toward that other guy.
here the US perspective via Mark Prindle:
"Now the last thing I know or even give a crap to learn a thing about is this lil' 1997 "phenomenon" called "Electronica." Basically what it means is that Spin magazine has declared the mainstreamitude of a form of music that has been present underground in various (remarkably similar) forms for 15 or 20 years. Why now? Because most alternative rock bands suck the dick, and Spin needed something else to talk about. So they picked Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers and DJ Spooky and all these other fellows who create electronic music for club kids to take drugs and dance to. Personally, I'm not incredibly familiar with the genre, but both the acclaimed DJ Spooky CD and the acclaimed latest Chemical Brothers release bore the living death out of me, so I'm assuming that it's probably not a form of music that is geared towards me specifically. Still, I love Meat Beat Manifesto. They (or, these days, HE) create a form of electronic music that is, at different times, rockin', immersive, moody, catchy, disturbing, hypnotic, and, darn it, for once, INTERESTING. Maybe there are others who do it too; if so, let me know. I tried The Orb and they bored me. If you can pick me out another "techno" or "ambient" band that welcomes me to their world with as many cool as hell noises as Meat Beat Manifesto, please do so."
