		The graphics in dancepad games have always seemed to be a bit lackluster to me; there might be some interesting visuals going on in the background, but the arrows are simply arrows - and those are the focus of the game.
		A couple of MC Frontalot's songs are on In The Groove, including may wife's favorite, the Penny Arcade Theme song, referred to as "PA Theme" in the game.
		These songs are then played back-to-back, allowing for a nearly non-stop gaming experience and avoiding the long load times that occur when your scored is tabulated and you have to go back through the menu system.

		Roxor Games, the developer, took the concept of Konami's Dance Dance Revolution and copied it almost pixel for pixel to make In the Groove - even using the DDR cabinets in the arcade for its game (that stupid move got the company slammed with a lawsuit).
		In the Groove has about four times as many "mods" (ways to change the appearance and scrolling of the arrows) as any DDR game, but most of them are pointless, and I never use them.
		In the Groove is part of the "Dance Dance Revolution" genre, made by Red Octane (instead of Konami, which made all the other DDR games).

		His linear sense of laying a song out along a wickedly syncopated drum line without the usual fills and turnarounds, with every instrument in his band and his own vocal functioning as distinct polyrhythmic elements, made his funk very much about the beats in a multi-level, interplay of small parts.
		Brown was able to strip down or strip away melody, harmony, and the structure of popular music in his funk to focus intensely on just the dominant groove, the highly danceable good foot, and bring more of Africa (the ultimate funk wellspring) to the party.
		Call it a zen-like, spiritual state, where space and time are elastic, and all the parts are in their most effective place, allowing positive energy to easily and naturally flow.

		This audioblog is based on the premise that the true Home of the Groove, at least on the North American landmass, was New Orleans, Louisiana, and will be again one day soon, as we cannot afford to lose it.

		Dejan’s Olympia Brass Band can be seen as a transitional mid-century link between the historic brass bands of the earliest days and the future of the genre.
