Actually alot of the stuff you're talking about went on when I was in grade school. And although I'd like to boast of having been into Derrick May and Kraftwerk in the 3rd grade to be honest I was a bit more concerned with getting home to catch Robotech on time and saving enough for the GI Joe F-14. I was a big fan of new order and hip-hop (public enemy, early nwa) in jr. high. The first time I really became aware of techno or IDM was when I was in High School. If you went to high school when I did in Southern California there was no way to avoid the first rave explosion of the early 90's here in LA. Although some of the early acid house & breakbeat stuff I heard out of that was interesting nothing really grabbed me till I began to hear...ohhh, stuff like Pacific State, Little Fluffy Clouds and Chime, which was some seriously underground shit if you're in High School and can't drive a car yet, believe me. _____ / ,-,_) /,_) (/ RESH Live & Direct from the G-Spot, Orange County, California, USA http://www1.linkonline.net/fresh/fresh.htm
