To clairify: Hey, I have been covering the Australian scene for some years now, so I know the history! There were always innovators, renegades, HMC was one of them, Voiteck another, and there are yet others, but the scene as a whole has come into its own in recent years, almost everyone in Melbourne would acknowledge that (the promoters, the DJs) - and I know most of them personally - and I think many of the Adelaide posse too, like Bundi. I think the techno scene here is in many ways ahead of other parts of the world now. Every territory develops differently, in some ways faster, others slower. Most of the internationals comment on the freshness of the Australian scene, and I have heard the same said of Eastern Europe (I myself am of Eastern European background, as is Voiteck), with Australians and Eastern Europeans being less jaded than some of the Brits/Western Europeans, and maybe that impressed people like Mills. At no point did anyone say we were regressive or that there was a non-existent scene at any stage. C
