For once I agree wholeheartedly with MARK EG. Atkins, Mills, Aphex. Just about every strain of techno can be traced back to these people.

Anyone who mentioned Glenn Wilson, Mark EG, Immersion, any of the Liberators or DAVE the Drummer is either very badly informed or just living up to the BOA policy of unashamed sycophancy. No matter how much you like them, these people are completely insignificant in the context of this thread.
