not "no one," "not enough."

this is and always has been my thing...techno can be so evocative that i think it's a shame so little of it is. this is a generalization with plenty of notable exceptions. :) i just think, especially considering today's loop-based production, a lot of people can produce decent sounding, but cookie-cutter, tracks with an ease not found earlier. i just want to hear MORE tracks written inspired by diverse subject matter...again...not all, more...

i DO agree, by the way. wasn't debating that point. and i would love to have a discussion about how various people have tried to translate what thoughts they had in their head into music...new thread maybe...

start it up! i, for one, :love: the abstract threads...

To answer this question I would say no, no one will reach that level of fame in techno now as the likes of Mills, UR were pioneers of something new. However if the scene got of its arse and tried to pull in a younger crowd then maybe the whole thing could do a full circle with a slightly more evolved slant.

I think the real inventors of today are the people who create interactive devices/software and use them to advance their own personal expression. Those are the people who are doing something relatively new and can push back the limitations of a standard sequencing package.
