Exactly. Electronica is a bit too broad a term for me. I mean "club music" or producer music. I don't mean synth pop or hip hop. I think Techno is understood by most people to mean something broader than Motown four on the floor or whatever. The only people that get uppity when you use that word are pedantic hipsters that know the 6 other words for that specific sub genre anyway. >> ^rottenseed:

I used to use "electronica" as a catchall and I hated when "techno" was used because techno is specific. However, I've come to realize that hip-hop, indie, alternative and pop are all electronica in many cases. Electronica describes the process (instrumentation) in making the music, not how that music is combined.>> ^bmacs27:

Techno ? this is down-tempo style of electronic.

Meh, I use techno as a catchall. If I'm talking about techno-techno I'll usually call it electro, or what have you. Besides, it's arguably ambient.

VERY slow for Tiesto. I'd expect to hear this spun at about 1.7x. l'd like to hear it at bout 140bpm and that'd be what a hit is made of for real. It's just too slow at this tempo. It's no secret that this is meant that it is meant to be spun over-speed for sure. If the voice can be maintained where it is would be great, but the intended final mix speed is plainly 120-140 bpm. I'd expect any of the major DJ's out there to spin it fast, and I don't think that's any downgrade for it.

Seeing as how Tiesto has his hand in making it, I would have little doubt that his intent was to not only to have a down-tempo tune to spin but also a trance-tempo tune to spin when he needs it. Nice.
