Hey y'alls,
I was reading the latest UK-Dance digest (1516) and something funny
caught my eye:

Agreed!

This had me giggling for some time...It's amazing to realize that
all this time, we've been under the microscope...

Thoughts on this? I hadn't really thought about this before...when I
think of Techno. I really haven't thought about the fact that the IDM
vibe is the most "underground"...Life's strange sometimes...This is a
perfect example of why I can't fully grasp the genre-wars. I always
tend to assume that anybody who likes techno likes ALL forms of it as
long as the particular track is well done (BTW, I consider ambient to
be a form of techno in that it is usually electronic). I think I'm
perhaps being way to fucking naive, but I tend to assume that all
lovers of techno exhibit heightened thinking patterns and sees the
music as way more than music. I guess in an infinite universe, there
exists the possiblity that to some, techno is just about a cool song
with a funky beat...

ROFL!!! :)
Apparently, we're the geeks of Techno...quite an auspicious
title...!
Peace out,
