spot on.

frankfurt was great at first and did a hell of a lot to popularise techno in the uk and europe but too many records over too little time really killed it off before the likes of paul van dyke and crew took over.

those early swedish 12s on planet rhythm are still big favourites and remain as the few beyer records i own to this day. although cari lekebusch was king of sweden back then.
