And I was enjoying them again this morning when a thought occurred to me. I don't know what the future holds, but one (hopefully remote) possibility is one where many of us lose infrastructure that we take for granted. For example, electricity. But even if that happened, thanks to human's awesome vocal ability, we won't have to be left without our sick beats.
Imagine a future group of humans who continue a tradition of "electronic" music with sounds, patterns, forms, and idioms completely removed from the context from which it used to copy. It is no longer a copy. It is the thing.
