In response to the post its the technology thats driving this. The easier it is to produce the harder is will be for outstanding pieces of music composed a la techno to be recognised. What usually happens is you get the quick buck people wading in trying to make fast buck and thus diluting it for everyone. So i have never really bought a techno album cause I believe it misses the concept of " an album" through the medium of techno ( usually on or two good tracks, the rest are fillers, this is a personal opinion ) so I guess I just look for artists who usually deliver quality and then scan the radar for their releases and then make the decision.

I suppose you have to ask how many masks techno can take considering most avenues have already been explored ( ps this is not a hate techno post far from it )
