I know electronica has its fans and that's cool, but it just leaves me cold. Kavakon's Departure Exotica was somewhat of an exception for me when it came out. I didn't fall in love with it, but it was listenable. I've always hated it when rock bands substitute keys for the horn section that was on the original recording. Yeah, I know... it's cheaper, but the music suffers. I played in symphonic bands, jazz bands, and rock bands when I was growing up and nothing will ever replace live musicians in my book.
