Theres NO comparison. Techno back then was more innovative, it also had a better feel to it. I like Kevin Saunderson - Powerbass but that was classic Detroit techno cut from 91", Nightmare World 2 had some decent tracks but nothing like the groundbreaking Rob Hood of the past.

Music evolves but it always doesn't move forward. Don't base progress on trends. >They are becoming to intricate and sophisticated Yeah, I hate it when people say KDJ, Theo Parrish, is the future of Detroit techno. I know the funky organic tech-house sound is very trendy right now, people use the word "soulful" like its going out of style but who do you think your kidding? I'm sure Kevin, Juan, and Derrick could have easily looped disco classics on some primitave one shot sampler if they really wanted to, or used funky organic acoustic drum sets but that wasnt TECHNO. An 808 through some gated reverb sounded much much better. TECH-TECH-TECH-TECHNO MUSIC. >The ingredients are just the ones which Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald prescribed. >They just baked it in a different way. Old overused ingredients from 94", 95". Dont you people get tired of hearing all that echo and reverb? If you want the necessary ingredients for progress listen to the new Isolee album on Playhouse and the Eight Miles High records on Klang Elektronik. stephen.
