Hey all, I don't think there was too much more to it than described in the book ... Plus 8 had the fortune/misfortune of being the first Caucasian Detroit-area techno acts to get noticed (not counting KGB on Techno 2, I guess). With that position, and a marketing misstep (stamping their white labels with "The Future Sound of Detroit") came a lot of resentment from the African-American techno producers and DJs in Detroit.
I doubt a blow-by-blow reconstruction of conversations between the two camps would have been of interest to readers outside the 313 list ... -d ---------------------- Dan Sicko [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.reverbmag.com http://www.techno-rebels.com
