I don't see why everyone's so hysterical about tunes. There seems to be some sugestion that the tune (ie the order of frequencies of sound waves) is in some way 'primary', and that the rhythms underneath it, the type of sound used, the degree of dsp buggery and so on are just decorations. I'm probably talking crap (no change there) but people seem to treat the tune with a ridiculous reverence - this thing that the tune should stand alone out of the context of the track - Why? Think of a synth: its got loads of controls; pulsewidth, ring mod, volume envelope, resonance... they all affect one aspect of the sound. But for some reason, the one that effects the pitch (the sequencer / keyboard) is important where all of the others aren't. End Melodic Fascism Jorkens
