yes this is a good subject.
naturally u'll find a certain formula to do things and this is a good thing, cause u can work that style to its maximum. but it often turns into a very bad thing for techno unfortunately. we can roughly define techno as inovation. if u keep repeating something it's the oposite of inovating. u can get interesting music acting in this way (funky stuff), but it's no longer techno.
i see this visually like breaking the wall with dynamite and then letting other ppl to explore that area untill someone gets to another wall and destroy it and so on and so on.
