Backwards to go forwards

Techno seems to have almost become the music that's made by people who can't make anything else*. That's LAME.

I have to agree with pretty much everything you said.
There aren`t enough musicains making techno.
Too many DJ`s with a copy of reason.

exactly.

problem is, most people with a reasonable amount of musical ability dont want to be connected to this genre. its almost got to a point where its become embarassing to be connected to it.

like i said earlier> my guess is that even if you try and break the techno formula then it becomes something else. (due to the way other genres have made ground musically) which brings me to the conclusion that techno is doomed. for me anyway. there are very few artists in this genre that i respect anymore. (probably less than 10) i really cant see that list expanding short-term nor long-term.

i think their are lots of people on this forum who think maximum media exposure is good for genre. maybe the people who tried to take techno to the masses should be held partly responsible. i think some people seem to forget why they got into techno in the first place. when you take something that has cult status to the media playground then things just dont seem fun anymore.
