haha... minimal..

''This is a style of music that is more fashion than function. Listening to it makes you sophisticated, and actually liking it makes you 1337. Supposedly. But it suffers from the same flaws that infect cyberpunk literature: namely, that the authors are so enthralled with their own ideas and liberal use of asides to detail minute concoctions--almost for the sole satisfaction of their geek fanbase--that it's often at the expense of putting out a decent product.''

Who is this music critic and what is their idea of functional dance music?

I love it when people make fools out of themselves like this.

It comes from Dub House, mostly. Or just plain Dub. Another one of them Caribbean influences that likely makes a lot more sense when mixed with other genres and underneath other, more thumping techno tracks or played around with a lot with effects, rather than just a stand alone genre. I mean, you wouldn't possibly want to listen to a whole CD of this stuff. Unless you plan on going to sleep.
