Cool , I may have been a bit over the top with the " there probably wouldn't be techno if it wasn't for Kraftwerk".

But they were the first to discover the early sound of techno back in the 70's.

It's easy to say " someone" would have come up with it. It's like saying someone would have come up with Rock n Roll , even if Elvis hadn't. It's easy to say that once the event has happened.

I couldn't really give two ****s about who came up with it really , all I was really trying to say is " respect" to the Germans cause they have a lot to do with the origination and continuation of this great music we call Techno and no one can argue with that.
