Yeah, I have tried listening to J-Rock band before and all the ones seemed to be more focused on the gimmick as opposed to good music... What artists do you like ahoaho? I trust your taste in music

Not entirely true.... Japanese Electronic music is some of the best on the planet.

Elgar Cello Concert 1st Movement by Jacqueline Du Pre
I have to say that the 1st movement was my favorite one. Especially when Jacqueline Du Pre plays. Her playing actually proves what the potential of Elgar can reach. Even Natalie Clein can't compare to Jacqueline Du Pre.

I died in a car crash two days ago
Was unrecognizable
When they pulled me from the gears
No one's fault, no one's bottle
No one's teenage pride or throttle
Our innocence is all the worse for fears
The other walked away alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife

My lover sits, the silent eye
In a hurricane of warmth and word
My mother trembles with the sobs
Whose absence seems absurd
My sister shouts to let her see
Through the cloud of crowd surrounding me
My colleagues call for silence in my name

I died in a car crash three months ago
They burned me until I glowed
And crumbled to a fine gray sand
Now I am nothing, everywhere
Several breaths of strangers' air
And all thoughts ever written in my hand
They plant my tree out in the yard
It grows but takes the winter hard

My lover holds a knife to wrist
Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while
My mother tosses in the sheets
And dreams me holding my own child
My sister plays our homemade tapes
Laughs as tears run down her face
My office door now wears a different name

I died in a car crash four years ago
My tree drinks melted snow
Just eight feet tall a pale and fragile thing
Bee stings beaches bright vacations
Sunburnt high-school graduations
A sparrow healing from a broken wing
This year a glimpse of second chances
Tiny apples on my tree's branches

My lover hears the open wind
And crawls blinking into the sun
My mother leafs through photographs
And thinks "yes she was a lovely one"
My sister can't decide her truth
Asks aloud what I might do
In a conference hall my brief efforts engraved

I died in a car crash
A lifetime ago it seems
Been a decade or two or three
They've just release a new design
Bars and bags front and behind
My fate now an impossibility
Safely packaged hurtling down
The highway hardly make a sound

My lover very much alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife

I hate electronic music. At least most of what I've heard. And I have heard an large amount of it, because my roommate in college was a wannabe candy kid.

You've probably heard the wrong type of stuff.... and the kids in the US ain't exactly electro connoisseurs by world standards (no offense)..... you'll probably realize this if you traveled around. (or at least to Space in Miami)

Then again.... one mans terrorist is another's saviour.... so to each his own, I guess.

I will never like it. I already know, and it's not due to a lack of exposure or lack of an open mind. It's the culture, the format and the connotation thereof. Because I'm a musician. Am I saying that there aren't those who can make good electronic music? no. I'm just saying that looped beats and lack of syncopation are not my thing, when a brilliant lyricist is absent. Same reason why I don't listen to 'instrumental' hip hop. It always seems incomplete.

It's mainly the lack of syncopation, a message, and the removal of the musician that founder my dislike of electronic music. I've listened to a lot of different kinds, like happy hardcore, house, acid house, trance, techno, etc. It just doesn't bring me within the core of the music.

for the most beautiful song something by dire straits

heh, Jay Dilla changed my life.

You're not as well-exposed as you might think, you know.

No offense.
