an alternative view: maybe "new" and "model 500" seem like they shouldn't go together?
while some may not love this newest metroplex, for people to say this doesn't sound like detroit techno, 1) does it matter to you what the guy whose style detroit techno is thinks ??? 2) perhaps sounds more techno to mine ear than certain of the latest transmats... in any case... all the feedback i read makes me think: "womp, womp". and for anything a little more like listening music or experimental not to be detroit techno... ridiculous and retarded are words that come to mind when trying to describe that point of view.
