and Maarten's correct, these are both usually credited as being the
first "techno" records. Despite the fact that when they came out,
there wasn't any descriptive term that matched the sound.
Soon, it would be widely considered "Detroit House" though it's not
really fair to use that term, since it implies that Detroit "got" its
sound from Chicago, which isn't a particularly accurate way to look
at it.
when did the start to use the term techno anyway?
I think it first appeared on the "techno, new dance sounds of detroit"
compilation on 10.
indeed, it's the byproduct of the marketing hype to move the sound
into Europe. as of 1990-2, you could ask the old school freaks what
techno is, and they wouldn't know. but they'd been to the parties,
and knew the sound.
the terminology comes after the sound.
