I agree with you on that - my own perspective focuses more on the sound design and point of origin of the seed that was planted for electronic music inside oneself. Not that I have necessarily a deep amount of successful credibility (I did a self-released 12" and album, am not terribly devoted to externalizing my recordings), but I always approached electronic music from the synthesizer, the sound making machine, and not from the record. I suppose I started wanting to make techno before I heard techno. Alternatively, my musical interests are probably at least 50% outside of techno/dance music, and fall into industrial, noise, ambient, and a lot of what I think of as some of the most special UK stuff from the 90's like orbital, orb, fsol, underworld. Dancey music, yes. After these 4, doesn't even make sense to consider drivel like min_s something real.
