It used to be you`d get tech freaks flooding into shops and they`d always ask for the new beyer record.
They wouldn`t even listen to anything else.
Like him or not, he had an influence, and you can`t deny it.

That`s like me saying Jeff Mills had no influence in techno, just because I consider his music irrelevant (which I do) and boring twoddle (which I also do).
However, like it or not, he has had an influence.
i never said anything of the sort. i said your comment about beyer being responsible for the popularisation of techno was a load of bollocks which it was. techno clubs were rammed for years before sweden came along. techno records sold like hot cakes for years before beyer came along.

you consider mills irrelevant, big deal. that's totally your loss mate but how anyone can call waveforms, punisher, mecca, other day, growth, x102, extremist etc "boring twoddle" while claiming to be into techno is totally beyond me.
