tocsin, i'm with you. totally down with most of that reply. you've got ideas, you think you can make change and i say good luck to you. bring it on. i too have listened to some recent hip-hop and thought - my god, that's techno. perhaps a 'techno reaction to hip-hop' would be a better way to think of it all. rather than a 'hip-hop reaction to techno'??? that way you keep the ethos of techno (which is waaaaayyyyy more music orientated than hip hop these days imho). or is that then in keeping with the 'purist' attiude you speak of that is so damaging? hmmm....

ok, good shit posted on here.... gone a bit off topic eh.... so let me start a new topic...

BACK ONTO THE SUBJECT::::: Techno is too divided?? Yes Or No???
