Most of the discussion (and displeasure) seems to be about techno music transposed for a "classical" orchestra. What about going the other direction? I can't think of specific examples at the moment but I know there are classical pieces that have been interpreted by electronic/techno artists using the tools of their trade.
Is this still perceived an attempt to validate electronic music?
