Ick. When I am teaching electronic music, the only thing I am picky about with my students is spatialization. When I hear a stereo field with some sound, plain and mono-ey in the center, it drives me up a wall. You will never hear a foreground element spatialized like this in a well-produced pop track.

I agree that there is such a thing as too wet, however.

Nice track, AKJ.

I think it depends on the material. If you've got synthesizers
and samplers going full tilt, this can warrant more 'verb. If
you're doing a harpsichord or piano solo, I find myself wanting
a dryer sound -- even in terms of a real acoustic recording or
high-tech convolution or 3-D modeled 'verb, but especially in
terms of simplistic digital echo 'verb.
