oh yes totally agree... you can also hear plenty of 313 in it, in the realm of cybotron / kraftwerk / YMO influences, especially in the first MA 12-inch... then coming in from the other side you have a Prelude / D-Train / Moroder kind of synthetic disco. The 2 coming together is bliss, especially for people who like both techno AND disco, but you rarely get to hear that sound together on more than a handful of good records. peace, Matt MacQueen
