Ishkur's guide RULES, byt the problem is Ishkur makes up most of the gebres/distinctions himself.
Outshined:
Yeah... that guide is pretty opinionated, as reading it for more than a minute will reveal by itself. However, if you take it with a grain of salt, it can actually be a pretty useful general guide to the diveristy of electronic subgenres and sounds out there. I really think he's crossed the line into meaningless subdivision into inane subcategories / smashing artists into little boxes syndrome, though =/.

indeed. his guide is useful for finding new artists, but utterly useless if you want to end up any less clueless about genres than when you started reading it, at some point.

eh, they're not so bad. not my cup of tea at all (as far as dnb goes, i'm more into amens, reese bass and drum edit-y type stuff), but their production is superb. and hey, everyone's got to start somewhere. if it wasn't for quasi-populist drum and bass (roni size, ltj bukem and so on) then it'd be really hard for people to get into the music. like selling textbooks on fluid mechanics on a street corner (maybe not, but you get the idea)

I really like that in Downtempo > Electronic Pioneers > Classical, Ishkur insists on calling the artist for the third sample "Wenwaldyter Carlos." I've never heard that one before.
Yeah, there's a bit of lopsidedness in this list. Where's that good Old School Prog. Techno that came out of artists like Kraftwerk and Isao Tomita? And where the hell is the rest of Germany??
