>...and British techno legends Hybrid will headline.

I'm finding that there are a lot of electronic artists out there, many of
whom haven't been around very long, that are being bestowed the status of
"legends" or "legendary"

Have Hybrid really become legends? Has there been a build-up of myths,
partial truths, and stories around them? Peter Hook's past with Joy
Division and New Order is stuff of legend... but Hybrid?!

They might be entertaining but do they really inspire legends in the same
way UR & Mad Mike, May, Mills, Atkins, Saunderson, Drexciya, Dopplereffekt,
Frankie Kuckles, Ron Hardy, Larry Levan, etc. do?

Anyone else feel like many writers and reviewers are doing the job of
promoters?
