you know i really think that's the beauty of this list. it's ok to have a 
sense of humor here, unlike SOME lists!!!
but i think your post was certainly on-topic. music for porn or soft-core is 
(or can/could be) as valid as music that accompanies any other visual medium 
and there's no reason why it couldn't be cool electronic music.
i've always thought that it would be great to see what some electronic or 
avante-garde or rock or any people who do adventurous music within a given 
genre would do for a porno. i mean, it's sort of a unique opportunity to do 
something a little different.
we all have an idea, i think, of what stereotypical porn music 
constitutes...down what decade it was made in. you know if you bring it up, 
inevitably someone starts making wah-wah guitar sounds to indicate 70's porn 
soundtracks. then there's the cheesy 80's stuff that sounds like it was done 
on a lame casio keyboard, to the 90's when people just started recording 
whatever they spent 5-10 minutes making in re-birth.
i for one think it would be interesting to maybe acquire rights to an old 
70's porn and do your own soundtrack to it entirely on the wiard or just 
modulars or something. or perhaps if you composed a soundtrack to an 
non-existant risque film entirely on synths and came up with your own great 
name for the film...like Womb Raider or something...i mean, that's the fun 
of it isn't it? getting to come up with a name?
on a more serious note, i remember talking to someone awhile back back who 
had gotten a gig doing porno soundtracks and said they spent all kinds of 
time composing music to scene lengths and events on screen and turned it in 
to the whoever was making the movies and they were like "...yeah, 
whatever...as long as there's something there...".
these people know where their bread and butter lies and they know people 
don't buy those type of  films for the music. i think that's why "quality" 
music doesn't generally end up in those movies. most of the music is 
probably from royalty-free libraries. it's probably not the most conducive 
business to fostering musical creativity...at least not for professional 
musicians.
as far as my being a rev. and being interested about porn...i say to you: 
keep your friends close and your enemies closer! i mean, how can i condemn 
something if i'm not intimately familiar with all it's ins and outs?!?!!
(pun intended)

take care
rev.jon

p.s. i never said i was catholic and if the pope wants to get in the ring 
i'll call fox celebrity boxing right now and we'll settle it in the square 
circle!!!
