I very much preferred when mediocre music lasted no more than a minute 
or so.  Repetitive beats and chord progressions with no variations other 
than echo and other digital effects layered in may only sound cool when 
stoned.

It's not that I dislike all of electronic music.  Here's quite a few I 
truly enjoy for your listening pleasure:

incidentally, they are all from videogames.  Wipeout one composed by a 
guy from your area, Tim Wright aka CoLD SToRAGE... :)

Perhaps for the fact that they were composed to illustrate the action 
going on and environments they don't sound as shallow as most other such 
music.  Or perhaps it's simply nostalgia from the games blinding me? :)
