Same old story. Incredibly hippocritical statements from the obviously ill-informed. I've been a bit restraint on replying to some obviously inane people invading this list recently with other motives apart from music. But this really is enough. Its almost factual that the techno scene in Detroit and other US cities have been well supported from Europe and other overseas nations. Its inextricably linked. The Frankfurt-Berlin-Detroit Trans-Atlantic connection is well documented as a huge stepping stone for this music to be appreciated on its home soil. This has at some time or rather, involved all the major Detroit producers including Blake Baxter, Eddie F Fowlkes, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, UR/Mad Mike etc. A_Zed _________________________________________ Program Co-ordinator, Ambient Zone RTRFM 92.1 Sunday Electronic Listening [http://rtrfm.ii.net] Perth, W.Aust (WST) 23.00-01.00 Detroit (EST) 10.00-12.00 Frankfurt (CET)/ London(GMT)16.00-18.00
