Oooh, I don't know, let's say 1986. Boy, if you don't know who these guys are, you really know nothing about the history of Techno. Don't you understand the term "Detroit Techno?" There were two movements going on at the time techno originated: Detroit and Germany. The two had different flavors, both were techno. Both have had a big effect on the music that IDMers are listening to today.

There was _some_ intelligent techno I've heard out of germany, but a whole lot of the _techno_ that originated from there was nosebleed hardcore. House.. yeah, that was UK, but Hardcore was both UK and Germany... ever heard the term "Rotterdam?"
