I'd like to know specifically which bands you mean - certainly Cabaret Voltaire is still a going concern but I'd hardly call anything but their post-'Code' work ambient or techno...Eno's active but he doesn't make techno...Steve Hillage's pre-System 7 work has some brilliant ambient material but nothing I know of that has anything to do with techno.
