You Stokes boys are SO predictable...;)

To me, there's no difference between arhythmic and atonal music - it's
just that the out-of-timeness is sped up into audio frequencies with
atonality.  .  It's amazing that that people who would howl at an
out-of-time drum track will blithely listen to atonal noise - maybe 
their perception of time is faulty.  Personally, I find atonality to be 
physically painful.
