i can see adding elements of it to add to their sonic palette, but why would you want these particular guys to start playing less intricate music? electronica is dumbed down music. it requires the guitar to meld into the background, while a 4/4 beat becomes the leading drive. where\'s the appeal in that, especially with the talent in this band? i\'m all for more experimentation, and, like i said, using other styles\' elements to add to their overall sound is fine, but moving the band in a more electronic-ish direction negates the very virtuosity most people love this band for.
the electronic jams are the worst part of the disco biscuits for me... i like their songs and hate the jams.
2nd that...
90% of their composed sections are short and sweet...it\'s really all about the jams for me personally. They aren\'t all amazing, but this past tour had some great stuff.
I\'m all for diversity in The Breakfast\'s music but that genre (electronica) is soulless and boring to me. The trance ambient experimentation they do within the rock and roll framework they have defined as their sound is fine for me.
Anything near what the Biscuits play would be the ruination of The Breakfast for me and would get skipped on any disc I came across it on.

ok for a minute i thought i was alone in my opinions on this...

I like a delay jammed Mooboo (1st jam), Queeb(1st jam), EE Pt2, HLH, etc
I say "delay jammed" because there\'s nothing really more "electronic" about this besides a driving drum beat and turning on the Boomerang or whatever delay pedal Tim\'s got running at the time.
And of course it doesn\'t have to be 4/4, poly rhythms and even poly scales/modes and even poly-progressions are totally amazing as long as it locks in. This is what makes delay jammed music (or electronic-ized, whatever) progressive and actually takes serious talent to pull off.
Bands like Bisco and Lotus just ain\'t got the skillz.

Yeah then you discovered drugs and all of a sudden electronica was the ****. I get it.

i agree -- they shouldn\'t try to do what the biscuits do. and believe it or not, the disco biscuits are not the first or only band that played/plays electronic music. i don\'t have to tell you that. kraftwerk has been playing for, what, 40 years? there are many more that do it better than them. what the breakfast is great at is the fusion of genres and i\'d like to see them add a new wrinkle. i\'d just like to see them give it a shot
Is that all you got Kraftwerk? What about NEU, CAN,Kluster, **** even Tangerine Dream?
