this is really an entry on detroit techno, to be fair, not techno as a whole, and written by someone who just wanted to summarize "techno rebels." i just like the fact that mojo got his own entry. pretty good for a radio dj, eh?
...as to your other point, i used to live in the detroit area, so i both revere the classics and get annoyed at the detroit-or-nothing attitude of a lot of people...but you don't get TOO much of that on BOA...
