I've always imagined >electro as being defined by naked drum machine patterns and synth sounds (see >Interdimensional Transmissions' 'From Beyond' comp, though I really liked the >Phoenecia track), but this isn't as straight-forward as that even though it has >a similar sound. yes, absolutely stuff like this is considered electro. few good electro records of the past few years have been characterizable as involving "naked drum machine patterns and synth sounds" (including the "From Beyond" comp, even if some of the tracks on there can be described in that way; at any rate, those aren't the standout tracks). that's a starting point, but even ultra-minimal shit like i-f ends up a far cry from there come mixdown. most people think of big-bass booty tracks or old-school hip-hop when you mentioned electro, but the style has come a vast distance since then. sc
