Yes, and it's awfully hard to put boundaries around something that is
defined as "not" something else. Some music magazines use a category
called "abstract beats" as a catch-all category for everything that is NOT
house, NOT techno, etc. That's probably how I would classify "house not
house."
Re: Simon Reynolds. To me he seems more of a sociologist than a music
critic. While I find his work interesting to read, I would probably NEVER
take his advice on what music to buy. ;-)
