Well Julien, I think I can detect something in your message this time...

Anyway for what it's worth, my relationship with techno and all the
4/4 music that it spawned over the decades (oh no it's plural now) has
always been of the love/hate variety.

What I love about early 90's techno is that it wasn't so easy to
pigeon hole it. The other thing I love about early 90's techno is it
didn't have all those lovey-dovey airy-fairy vapid vocals... nor those
irritating snare build ups.

Best,
James.
