:) that wasn't called techno...of course neither was the detroit sh*t until neil rushton came around...and i think if you look at cybotron and other early stuff, it's really different from kraftwerk, though of course owing a great debt to them. but let's face it...there's no UR, beltram, bolland, without the 1st wave, and no evolution from there to today's techno without them, just as there's no cybotron without kraftwerk. so props are due, whether we are into detroit sh*t or not.

but on the other point, yeah, you have a point, and i think people like derrick may and kevin saunderson would agree. i'd even go a step further and say mainstream techno has as much in common (or more) with the cold, sleek, robotic early chicago house than it does with some 1st wave detroit techno...
