Think your pretty spot on with most points, but regards same music same time etc, I think you could point to the electro records of the same period and pretty much concede that they didn't really sound so different. I don't think cybotron was so different to these..? I don't think it stands out retrospectively, and I don't think it did at the time either. or I don't think so anyway. now, if you put no ufo's alongside most electro records, then that obviously stands out as 'different', but clear, I dont reckon so much. **** Yeah you right dude. The original 'Moskow Diskow' by Telex is a good example from the other side of the pond. The crucial thing I think though is conscious realization. They didn't call it 'techno' I think. I think a lot of the Europeans would have also baulked at calling what they were doing 'electro'. The spirit was similar though, I grant you. As I said I was giving a point of view - to show the diversity of opinion, whilst not being fully behind it. (Am I irresponsible?!;-) I feel personally that it's quite ok to retrospectively realize that there was a thread in all that music which leads to what we called techno in the 90s and what we call techno today. (This is just my own two shekels' worth though). Ken
