On further reflection, I think the older style of 4/8/16 bar chunks
had a lot to do with the way hardware drum machines and sequencers
were designed back then. Everything was in multiples of four and it
was so easy to fall into a pattern (pun only slightly intended) of
writing and arranging songs. Even today, software emulations of
classic analog gear follow this same paradigm. Besides, I'm pretty
sure human beings naturally synchronize to multiples of 4, especially
for dance music. Waltzes, which are also dance music, are in 3/4 time
(3 quarter notes per measure), but many of the most popular ones have
a theme that repeats or changes after some multiple of 4. Modern
software sequencers are less restrictive and don't scream 4x right
out of the box. I think most songs that hearken back to the good ol'
days of techno will have that chunky feel for authenticity, whether
it's intentional or not. I see it as being the same as the 12 bar
Blues. If you want that classic Blues feel, you stick to the 12 bar
formula.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Thanks for the comments. I, for
one, have been pretty lazy when it comes to beats in the past,
which I thought was odd because I'm a pretty good drummer. The
drums don't change in "Intact" and I can see how that might be a
sticking point for some people. It is for me in a lot of instances,
especially in the music we're working on now. However, it doesn't
bother me in this case because the rest of the song changes so much
melodically. "Intact", in general, is supposed to be reminiscent of
an older style and feel. Kind of a minimal track with a classic
Detroit stringiness to it.
Well I think it definitely works in that regard, and is reminiscent
of the older style, when techno was so similar to house, and both
had similar arrangements. A great example of this is TP's 'Your
Love', which has the same beat unchanging throughout, and he even
pushes out the repitition to 16 bar loops for most of the track, but
it's such a hook that it carries you with it anyway. With that track
I always wished there had been another version, because I've always
thought it worked despite the arrangement, not because of it. That's
pretty much how I feel about Intact too.
