This is another funny thing about the emergence of "techno" in America.
Two summers ago, I spent two weeks in Marfa, Texas on holiday. [If anyone on
the list knows what/where Marfa is, you can share in my misery.] I met some
really attractive gal there and, upon asking me what kind of music I listen to,
I told her "techno." She replied, "oh, I *LOVE* techno!"
Excited and horny, I ran to the car to get my Case Logic travel pack. Inside:
Prodigy - Music For a Jilted Generation
Massive Attack - No Protection
Orb - Orbvs Terrarvm
Orbital - Diversions
FSOL - Lifeforms Path 1-7
various lame compilations.
I returned to her, showed her my goods, and she responded, "you don't have any
2 Unlimited?"
I died.
