WELL SAID, CARL-CHAN!
pour moi, as much as i like swooshy noises, i've found i still have some
internal resistance to "music that ceases to exist when the plug is
pulled..."  and electronic drums, as advanced and better-sounding as they
continually get..., bug me...(most recent case in point for me would be alan
davey's recently-heard "bedouin" cd; i did like it, but... would much rather
have drummed on it myself ^_~)

i guess i must be exempting amplification of "standard" instrumentation,
though, since i like guitar "blanga" (and plenty of it) even more than
swooshy noises...

the old guy squeeks
and having squeeked, moves on
