I'm the same way; I feel sort of unlucky I wasn't older during the birth of the Detroit sound. My first album purchase was a CD copy of Kraftwerk's _Electric Cafe_ back in 1988. That kind of put me on the right track. I spent way too much time during the early 90's buying every tacky rave compilation there was; didn't 'discover' Orb until 1993 [U.F. Orb], and Orbital in 1994 [Diversions]. I owe a lot of my 'tolerance' to the genre to these two recordings. Read about the AI series in an old issue of Hypno in 1994, and the rest was history. Still have too many nasty rave comps, though. Go Speed Go. grant.h.horne http://delta.is.tcu.edu/~ghhorne/
