Personally I've been bashing away on drums and guitars for years before I started writing techno, I'd always considered myself a musician of sorts, it amazes me that someone could think in this way.. So is techno not music then? What about all the old detroit stuff, rave music, whatever? this all has melody, and therefore is music (isn't it? forgive me if I'm wrong..) Believe it or not, there's techno being produced right now that has melody..

My personal definition of loop techno is listening to a record that sounds exactly the same wherever you put the needle on it, I hear so many records like this, completely structureless (To my ears anyway, maybe I just don't get it) which I find quite boring...

... I'm still really amazed... techno not music????
