I had a conversation the other day with an industry music publisher on this
topic, and it was his feeling that the ascendence of "techno" was
overshadowed and delayed by the "grunge" explosion -- and now that grunge
is dying off (eh, all due respect to Kurt), techno is back on the move and
getting some serious attention from the great spooky business moguls.
