I despise techno when coding it's often irregular, sometimes too loud – trance is so much more regular and works a lot better as background music. Alternatively, minimal/post-rock (Stars of the Lid, Explosions In The Sky) is regular, non-disturbing and generally nice.
- medearis 17y agoI think he was using "techno" as an umbrella term for electronic music. Lets be honest -- techno, trance, electro, progressive etc. it's all ultimately pretty much the same thing.
- hassy 17y ago> Lets be honest -- techno, trance, electro, progressive etc. it's all ultimately pretty much the same thing. Electro sounds nothing like trance, even if you know little about electronic music. Compare Kraftwerk with Tiesto or ATB for example to see what I mean. You may need to listen to trance for a while to be able to distinguish between, say, Goa and Psychedelic, but saying that all genres of electronic music are ultimately the same thing comes across as ignorant. (I understand that any electronic music sounds like noise to some people, but it's a genre as rich and diverse as any other.)

- chunkyslink 17y agoI disagree completely. Those styles you mention are all completely different. You can still split these down further and still be able to tell the difference. e.g. tech-house, progressive-trance, progressive-house, hard-house etc etc. The list goes on.
- tel 17y agoSeconded on the prog rock. A recommendation also goes out for godspeed you!\? black!\? emperor!\? (escapes represent the regex-uncertainty of where they put that damn exclamation point)
