Electronica/Eclectic is an umbrella term used to describe the emergence of Electronic
Dance Music increasingly geared to listening instead of strictly dancing (i.e. Post
Club Music), Electronica is normally considered more intelligent than dance music.
The music is more about using technology to create unusual sounds, melodies and heavily
processed drums (often in patterns where the same bar is never repeated requiring
painstaking programming). These elements are crafted into an intricate and some times
emotive piece of music. The results are usually closer ambient and experimental music
than they are to dance music.
