Agree with you, techno is not running out of ideas - it's just evolution at play. Someone will come along with a whole new style, others will dig it and make similar music, that style then becomes so prevalent that the people buying it get bored - then lo-and-behold a whole new style comes along and everyone jumps on the bandwagon again. It's a merry go round, or a depressawheel depending on how early you join the queue.

The producers to watch are the ones that are varied, innovative and individual - the ones that define a new style, then by the time everyone else has started to rip it off are making completely new sounds.

@ Massplanck - I refer to both types :D but prefer Experischlong.
