Yeah, i agree...i don't think US audiences are stuck in a dance music timewarp. It's just that electronic culture is more "subdued" here than in Europe or Japan, say. That's the impression i get, anyway. Perhaps the record company is just playing it safe, like "gee, those Yanks liked Firestarter 9 years ago... let's try that again!"
