Agreed. Terrence seemed a little bit down when I talked to him last year saying (if i remember correctly) that he was unable to play because of a prior commitment. I wouldn't miss his set this year. Conspicuously absent, or scheduled for next year(?): Juan Atkins (how about a rain date, as Infiniti?) Rob Hood Jeff Mills The Martian dopplereffekt Stuart Walker Dan Curtin Monochrome Carl Craig/Innerzone George Clinton Kraftwerk and of course, AO (where's his non-DEMF appearance supposed to be?) And as far as opening up globally, I'd like to think that non detroit performers might present a bit of a tribute to the Detroit sounds that inspired them or their own material as embraced by Detroit. Hearing Gerald drop a live version of "Blow your House Down" last year was gold. -- There4IM
