so when the french government commissioned him to do some music for their millenium celebration, you saw that as a hype machine for Richie Hawtin Techno Product? come on.

regardless of whether you (i.e. anyone) likes what he does, one can safely say that he's gotten to where he is by doing things his way. i doubt he filled out some application for Olympics Music Wanted... they came to him. you'd turn it down?

what it has to do with techno will probably be almost nothing. if some curious folks come across his name and find the world of music behind the Techno curtain, fair play to him.

besides, at least it's not sashavanoakenweed. or phil c.
