i think it's easiest to describe detroit techno if you describe the
prototype records and dont worry about how it's evolved and branched off
over the years. ie strings (!), soulfulness, depth, experimentation,
futurism etc etc. you dont have to worry about giving a picture perfect
description.

Great point, and got me thinking: 'techno' is a classic over/under-defined
term, in the sense described in 'Science & Sanity' by Alfred Korzybski. A
quick definition from http://www.driveyourselfsane.com/dysbook/glossary.html
Call it techno ... call it whatever the hell you want... but go and check out
the 'Transatlantic Nightclub EP' on www.thinnerism.com
http://www.thinnerism.com/releases.php?r=thn052
It is certainly doing it for me.

Pigeonholing is bad.

Please, I didn't put any personal comments in my statement, and I'd

it is unbelievable how so many people on this list take things completely
the wrong way, and totally out of context, the statement below being a great
example.

;0)
The bit I thought was ludicrous was the bit where anything that isn't 313
derived is not classed as techno.

I'd quite like it if one day all the looped-banger stuff was just
known as "schranz", and the word "techno" became widely

I think this is true, so much so that I never even use the term 'Detroit

It could only be done in relation to other music if it could be done at
all. If someone has lived on an island all their life and has never
experienced music period it be would an exercise in futility to try and
convey detroit techno.
