See, there`s my point. I don`t like mills at all, and you do, your argument about beyer is the same as mine about mills.
It`s an issue of taste (although I am not a fan of either)
You don`t have to like mills to be into techno, jesus, get a grip.
To me, mills sucks, and makes boring bleepy rubbish, to you, maybe Innigo Kennedy sucks, or whatever, it doesn`t mean either of us isn`t into techno.


Back in topic.
How important is beyer to techno?
Well, these days, maybe not so important.
But a few years ago, he got a lot of people raving about it, he filled the clubs, got on radio one, sold a lot of records, and was at the centre of a new sound, which at the time was pretty fresh.
So historically I would say he is fairly important.
Not that anyone is any more important than anyone else anyway.
