By "educated guessing" based on the fact that we were doing more of
that compared to many other acts that were very good in my opinion.
But you can of course never be sure about how other people think and
experience music. It might as well be that this journalist doesn't
like electronics and thinks that "only the use of melodies may be
regarded as music"... or some other hang-up he had about something.
