    I kind of enjoy Big Beat (well, the Wall of Sound stuff, anyway)
    because I like breakbeat-driven music. I don't like drum machine
    driven stuff very much, & while the Bros. might be technically using
    loops, most of their stuff sounds as stilted & tech-housey as can be
    to me.

    So I'll continue calling them Stadium Techno, but anyone who knows my
    tastes knows I'm just using "techno" as a slur. And yes, I've heard
    Jeff Mills/Derrick May.
