Perhaps it would be interesting to touch on the soundtrack of Eraserhead
(76) and it´s use of noise in relation to the overall sense of decay in the
places picured in that film? There electronics are used to give a sense of
age (in a negative context) rather than a sense of the futuristic as in your
examples.

This might lead to some interesting explorations on what sort of tone
implies what kind of time. These soundtracks could be related to not only
techno and microsound on the futuristic side but also to triphop which seems
to disire sounding "old".

Yours,
Kas.
