ahhhh wgere would we be with out techno,techno, techno, techno.

On a serious note - i am new to techno too (laught at my innocence - but i always thought techno was invented in germany) and found it interesting to read about the begining of techno. so what i want to know is apart from detroit where are the other major players in the begining of techno?

early kraut rock like can and faust.

early european industrial like front242 and nietzer ebb

some early disco.. donna summers "i feel love" being quite notable for its bassline.

you could take it as far back as the invention of rock'n'roll really.

detroit certainly is not the beginning of techno.. its more like one of the many beginnings of techno.

Among many others

Kraftwerk
Nick Turner
Liaisons Dangereuses
Throbbing Gristle (Adrenalin pre-dated Detroit Techno by about 4 years)
Giorgio Moroder

but really you can keep tracing back and tracing back, music just evolved naturally.
Atkins and the other oldie fogies from detroit coined the term techno, but techno had been around for ages.

as above...

Skinny Puppy
Nitzer ebb
Front 242
FLA
Caberet Voltaire
Revolting Cocks

any of the post punk EBM / Industrial / Alternative movement

Belgium and new beat never gets a mention but played a massive part

'Apart from voltaire, most of that stuff was a bit late coming.
242 were very early ebm pioneers though, I`ve some of their early pre detroit gear and it`s pretty easy to see their influence also, but then they were driven by gristle et al.
As I said it keeps going back and back

two parts to any answer. the first is, who influenced the detroit pioneers? that's covered well in the article: kraftwerk, human league, gary numan, devo, giorgio moroder, alexander robotnik, etc. what's not really mentioned is the influence of the more synth oriented side of funk, especially parliament, which was huge in detroit at the time.

then there's, who influenced the growth of the genre beyond just detroit? people have already mentioned some industrial, EBM and krautrock artists. i'd add to that some of the more rhythmic oriented electro-acoustic composers. hard to listen to steve reich or terry riley and not hear techno in there...
