I really do think think that too many people have a much to narrow idea of what techno is. All the old stuff i.e. the old detroit stuff from the old days is nearly unrecognisable from the hard 'glenn willson' techno, but it IS the definition of techno from a purist point of view. Although if someone made it today the techno kiddies who have no friggin idea who slag it off and say it's cheesy house or something because they are uneducated idiots.
To me, the beauty of techno has always been that is has limitless possibilities - as far as i'm concerned it can encompass all types of music, it's the sum of the parts that makes it techno...
