Re: Electronic Music - It Has No Soul?
Instruments are just the tools to creativity, like pigment in it's media is a tool for the painter. I think a safer statement may be along the lines of electronica doesn't touch your soul rather than it having none. Clearly, it connects with many listeners and performers.
I can easily listen to Mike Seeger play fretless banjo and Depeche Mode or Tangerine Dream or sampled rap music from Public Enemy, to Tuvan Throat Singing in the same sitting. Each will speak to me. That's not me saying your opinion isn't valid. We just each connect to the music differently.
My ears/brain don't process opera well. It becomes a mush so it's not a music form I connect with. Find what moves you. Be open to listen to other things and if they work, great, if not keep on listening to other stuff.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946
