Can you explain the deper understand for us heathen then? It sounds good - I 
hear beats, and synth parts coming in,  and dropping out. There is stuff 
going on. Its hypnotic. But what is so special about all that? A good "song" 
has those same qualities - with less hypnosis. My view is that its nice, but 
not that rapture you're making it out to be. Its like a Led Zeppelin fan 
saying ... its so wonderous how Jimmy Page plays a Les Paul on some songs, 
and a Telecaster on others - you can tell the difference in the sound, but 
overall the average listener doesn't know or care. Certainly the differences 
don't merit a new name of music  - "Humbucking Zep" versus "Single Coil Zep".

Obviously you (Hector) are an expert in this music. I'm just wondering if the 
distinctions are similarly subtle.

The only dance song that can think of that has a real emotion moment is BT's 
Hip Hop Phenomenon....where it builds and then has a break.
