"Thirdly, I wanted to investigate my half-formed hunch that people who liked dance would get along with classical, and vice versa. This wasn't borne out at all. In fact, it was the indie/goth/rock folk who tended to like classical, rather than the other lot. I guess I'm on my own there, then. "
The thought ran through my mind some while ago that trance music [of the like produced by Infected Mushroom] was entirely contingent with Classical Music in terms of the repeating structures employed, and the use of fugue etc. Like you I'm surprised that most dance music fans don't express a predilection for classical music, maybe the goth / indie crowd see it as complimentary to the music they mainly gravitate towards?
