The first ever techno record? 'Sharevari' Vs 'Alleys Of Your Mind'.

[RDR]

I would say the first techno record would be maybe Walking in the sky, by Nick Turner (of hawkwind)
Although Liasons Dangereuse did stuff earlier than that I think.

Maybe adrenalin by Throbbing Gristle was earlier.
I don`t know. I`ve not really been anal enough to check dates.



Techno music didn`t start in detroit anyway, they were just taking something already there and moving it into a dance based arena.
The word techno being related to beat based electronic music started with Juan atkins and co though.

I think you`d be very hard pressed to truly find the origins of techno though.

Musique Concret?

Glass?

Stockhausen?

OK well perhaps I should have put the first ever 'Detroit techno' record. We can all sit here and debate all day on the music that influenced juan atkins and subsiquently was given the name techno, we have done on many occasions, but that's not what i want to ask here.

Ok well that was a very interesting video!!! Did ya see the guy on skates? Haha

I think, if it's true this was released a few weeks b4 'Alleys', then this surely is the first ever Detroit techno record. That bassline is soooooooooo Detroit techno.....

Would love to know what other ppl think.

I'd agree with the comments on the discogs pages, saying that sharevari was a nod to the rich kids of detroit, and hence had little to do with what techno, supposedly, was about. so i'd be inclined to go with cybotron as the originator, but its all speculation isn't it really

Exactly, you can go on and on.
