But it would depend on youre description of generic techno, i have a fairfew detroit classics which could be termed generic due to their use of 808s 909s yamaha FM synths and cheap 8-bit samplers, the instruments used are almost identical on all these records...... but its the way the only available equipment at the time was used that makes these records special. Your chemicals and orbitals and autechres could have the wierdest and most wonderful instruments in the world, but they could never match the power of derrick may or the aphex twin armed only with an 808 and dx100. rant over...bed time.....mc-303 still sucks....and theres nothing decent on the learning zone on bbc 2..............
