"BT" stands for Brian Transeau (or it could also stand for British
Telecom..., or a Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich sans the lettuce...)
Anyway, BT does tunes all across the electrodancica spectrum: Some house
here, some trance there, a pinch of drum & bass, etc. So far I like what
I've heard -- the music is futuristic-sounding without being totally devoid
of soul. His last album, "Ima" featured the aforementioned "Loving You" as
well as a tune with Tori Amos on vocals (yes, that Tori Amos, and no, it
wasn't a remix but an actual tune).
