The map of electronic dance music

[james]

Check this out.
It's flash to the max, but quite a neat premise. We all know that electronic music has as many variations on names for genres and it does people who listen to it, so this guy has attempted to map out all the various genres and how they link up to each other. He's also included a sample of music for each one.

It's not amazingly accurate, but it's good fun all the same.

interesting idea, kind of thing that makes nerds like me get really hot under the collar tho... whatever you do, don't post that on the electroalliance forum, you might cause a few miami officionados to spontaneously combust upon noticing electro's classification UNDER "breakbeat"...
makes you wonder what the bloody point in classifiyng music is in the first place: maybe we whould take a leaf out of control tower record's policy of replacing an "electro/techno/bass/etc" music policy on their flyers with "TWISTEYBOOMKLART" in big letters. much better.
