Careful, Stoat. I'm a fairly big wheel with the Seattle Chamber Music Society, and I'm one of only two non-socialists in the inner circle. My peers believe in the logical, coherent foundations of Marx, Keynes and Obama.

Concerning a machine beat, check out any Baroque piece. All Baroque music was dance music, and all of it, even slower religious pieces, has a steady beat.

And if you want pure classical rhythm, check out the Presto finale of Schubert's Quartet in D minor, D. 810, better known as the "Death and the Maiden" quartet. It's pure classical rap. I could write (clean) words to it.

That's to be expected in the Socialist cesspool of Seattle.  When there are so few Conservatives here, they are going to creep into areas where they would be less of a force in more of a mainstream city.

When I said "machine beat" I meant just that....a beat produced by a machine and not subject to human interpretations and variations.  A 'steady' beat exists in many places, including nature and the cosmos, but it is not a soulless, programmed noise.
