3 whole years huh? try 8 years of it...i still just like melody and stuff like that, but hey, i'm a big techno/dance fan too, so that's where my tastes are a little different....i do like some of the stuff you're talking about dooman...it's pretty damn wicked, but there's no "color" to some of it...makes me think of grey and black and silver, which would have been cool back in the day...but quite frankly, i like music with a whole palette of different things, devoid of monotony
