Kanzleramt? Fieber? Chris Liebing? Johannes Heil?
that's what I think of when someone says straight ahead German techno.

>straight ahead (german) techno
What does this refer to nowadays though? (a real question not a catalyst
question). I mean german techno has been all but consumed by the glitch
crew so that's what I think of now when people speak of the German sound in
relation to techno. Somehow I get the feeling that's not what you're
talking about tho. Given that you already used the loop-bangers (okay
"almost loop-bangers" to be correct) I would think you're not speaking of
that kind either. This leaves me wondering what does straight ahead german
techno sound like now? And I swear I'm not being funny, I'm trying to
think of something that's german, not glitch, not looped, and not detroit,
and I'm coming up blank. Any track names? Maybe I'm bugging and it'll all
come flooding in. maybe.
Oh and Tom, I'm
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
jealous. I'd have gone for three chairs and ur live alone. And yeah UR
should be bigger than Kraftwerk.
