Alright, I'll bite....
Dub - techno? Never heard of it, but it has to be Eddy Grant's 'Timewarp'
surely...? (1981)

Subject: RE: (313) what was the first dub-techno record ever?
Good question! I always view the starting point of that strand of music as
being Quadrant's "Infinition" on Planet E, but for reasons I would find
hard
to back up in an argument R-Tyme's "Illusion" often sounds like a
dub-techno
record to me.
Why? Well, practically every early techno record was produced with no
noticable delay or reverb on any of the sounds - the music sounded as if it
was pressed directly on the surface of the vinyl. However the only early
techno track I can think of which does use delay and reverb to give a sense
of space between the listener and the sounds on the record is "Illusion",
which uses the dub-techno method of focusing the listener's attention on a
simple chord sequence and then allowing the chords to drift off into the
ether.
I can't think of any earlier record right now that uses the same "chord
drift" technique so R-Tyme's "Illusion" would be my pick...

| OK, how abt a more specific question: What was the first 'Dub-techno'
| record? (Deliberately vague.)
|
| I'm *not* assuming Mortiz von Oswald was involved either!
