Hhhm. Well, perhaps some of today's cheesy rave junk does sound a bit
contrived when you hear a guitar warble in unannounced into a perfectly

to marvelous effect. Witness all the early New Order stuff after their lead
singer offed himself. One of the most perfect meldings of guiter and synths
I have heard....
