I think a lot of techno was marketed as trance by some labels in the US and UK, in the early-mid 90s, that's where Balil would fall into the category. They don't fit, but the compilations/mixes were marketed as such. Rising High would include techno on their trance-y compilations. This early form of trance differs a lot from Trance most of the people on this list hate today, which is even more soul-less, and farther removed from techno.
I for one, thought Mills was trance in the early 90s, mostly because I didn't know any better yet. The Trance Europe Express/Trance Atlantic compilations did nothing but confuse the situation further, and are a prime example of the marketing I'm talking about.
