i have mixed feelings about this....on one hand i don't think the prodigy and chem bros are creating some of the better techno...i think most people on this list are aware of more intelligent music than this out there....but what about their sales? the prodigy's new album is the fastest selling cd ever....even faster than michael jackson's thriller....i think it's great that more and more people are catching on.....the prodigy and chem bros. might not be very deep but at least they are creating techno for public consumption....not everyone is ready for the obscure....the one problem, those people who appreciate good intelligent music but are only exposed to the prodigy and chem bros. may assume that techno is annoying and empty b/c they haven't been exposed to the really interesting stuff any comments??? dan n.p.: perfume tree "dust"
