I was thinking about the 4/4 thing too.
What exactly does '4/4' mean? I've never read a good definition of it. Is it just this idea of a song made up of '4 beat phrases'? I've heard this term used a lot but never fully understood it. :-?

I was having a chat with a mate of mine about ebw7 and how minimalist it is. It's like they've got the main elements of a track and left it at that. There's no extra baggage, no extra bits and pieces throughout the track, it's just cut back to the basics. At first I thought that that was cause it was played live, but after hearing it on Pete Tong's set with him refering to it as ebw7 (so therefore a kind of release), this could be another path they're going down. DYOH was fairly minimalist... maybe they're exploring simpler music again?
You could describe the Slow remix, GYH, Nude Night and maybe even SFS remix as quite minimalist, there's these nice synth noises and cool beats, but nothing overly complicated or elaborate. The cool thing is that the music is as catchy as ever. :D

This talk of all 4/4 stuff is a bit scary... I hope they have some breaky stuff on the new album hey!
So does something with breaks mean music with breakbeats or lots of drums?
