to me a techno purist is someone who only likes the boring detroit minimal stuff, and if the track gets more than 4 or 5 different sounds to it, it becomes too much for them and they hate it.

"i only like my techno with a boring housey groove, a hihat, the kick can't be too hard, and maybe a bassline if im feeling dangerous. and god forbid if the track goes anywhere, i want it to be the same from beginning to end!"

suck on this!
