I think its reasonable to say that Daft Punk went in an electro direction after their first album. if ONLY because they then had some vocoders, arpeggiators and a few non 4/4 rhythms. does that make it 'electro'? or maybe they just invented "electro-house"?

Kraftwerk claimed to be pop and cited how much they were Motown influenced. 2. Kraftwerk had 4-4 beats. 3. Is Prince pop or electro? Roger & Zapp? Dr. Dre sampling Roger & Zapp? ... what about Snoop here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSS_DY_z-Dc is that electro? Pop? R&B? Rap? ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: KiDD*e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Three-One-Three <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, December 3, 2007 9:25:58 AM Subject: Re: (313) Electro vs Electro LOL!
