well it depends on a your brain type, most people are units who are here to reproduce and populate generally go through a rebellious/ liberal phase during adolescence and then conform to the system of populous as they mature.
The hard techno sound was actually a product of +8 records, (faster = exciting = +8) a sound that the track Technarchy helped pioneer back in 1990. The 2 beat loop/ dj tools techno can be attributed to the Detroit minimal techno movement of the early to mid 90's. You can see how Jeff Mills dj style helped pioneer that sound especially when Waveform Transmission Vol.1 came out, this was a turning point for Jeff Mills career and would establish himself as one of the most influential techno artist of the 1990's. on 5/9/03 4:55 PM, David Powers at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have heard a lot of Swedish techno/tech-house that is NOT just 2-beat loops > but some quite musical material.
