And Orbital, and the rest. I'm not saying anything here except that the list
people put forward of punks in techno is more or less the same as the one
charting my most hated artists. Again, I'm not saying anything, and I'm
really treading on thin ice here, but it kind of confirms what I thought, to
me at least.

Yeah but I thought hippies, reggae, folk musicians and prog rock artists did

Who am I to argue? I was talking about punk in a fairly narrow sense, in
production terms noisy guitar pop, but I accept there are fringes to any
scene that are the more creative part. I don't want to get out of my depth,
it was just an idea I had while eating cheese sandwiches after all.

But I get this feeling sometimes that the more you learn, the less you
understand..
Cheerio!
