I guess Alan Oldham is very euro influenced. Jamal Moss are probably more influenced by funk and jazz.All of those tracks are totally invigorating and not even close to being boring though. I didn't mention the word soul. I'm a big advocate, but that's not what I'm talking about here. Take Sähkö, some of their most sparse, bleak, anti-groove shit is still totally compelling and not boring at all. You kinda landed on it at the end of your paragraph. There are people who make sparse music and manage to find a way to keep things moving for 6 mins or so with just a few elements. But then there are people who think that being minimal is all it takes, as long as it's kind of intense and all cathedral-like and processed through expensive gear. As for Americans being unable to pull that sort of stuff off, what about James Donaddio, Traxx Alan Oldham or Jamal Moss?

Time-out for 5mins from too many Subhead/2CB choons
I reckon Being trapped in a trance at da club to some techno probably mimicks the feeling of watching capital be moved around all day through some arcane parameters that you only half understand. Watching the pneumatic tubes in action, being held, depressed under the thumb of a kick drum financial mechanism, techno, capital, technocapital. caught up in the gears of a cosmic money machine like charlie chaplin all day, trains your brain to seek similar pleasure stimuli.
I don't know though, as i've experienced neither.
