so techno by your definition has to be a "stomper"
Whilst I don`t particularly like this release, I realise that techno is about change.
It always has changed, and there will always be those resistant to change who prefer the form of the music as it was when they were most into it.
Ie,
"oh it was better in the days of detroit/belgian/swedish loop/hard/acid/funky/schranze/birmingham sound days etc"
Really anyone who isn`t happy with what is happening should try to change it themselves, bring something new to the table either by developing the new direction or reacting against it, however remember going backwards is not change it`s regurgitation.
