Just out of curiosity, could someone point me to the "Techno Rulebook"? I'd like to peruse it's pages to find out where guys like Theorem, Christian Bloch, and Kit Clayton have gone wrong. We obviously have been mistaken in calling their music "Techno" as they sound nothing alike or like any of the more established artists.

Sure - that's why all the new "electro" acts sound like either Fischerspooner or Miss Kitten and the Hacker. As Rik once said on the Young Ones - "We're all so decadent!"
