There are so many sides to the Techno story. I'm coming around to the detroit stuff, but only to a certain extent. Electronic, repetative music was around before the pioneers did their thing, so I think Detroit Techno being where it all started is a bit... well... liberal.

I think that Detroit is a most certainly one of major fibres in the thread of techno, but certainly not where it started.

At the same time, that is just my opinion- I'm relatively new to Techno so I could be waaaaay off.
