well, i've always liked dance music but for a long time all i listened to was the radio - hey, i didn't even have a walkman, why would i buy music? - so all i knew was the stuff on top 40. then about my junior year in high school i started to go to these trendy-ass asian parties and even though the attitude was nauseating, they introduced me to alternative/new wave/proto-electronic music (they played other stuff too but it was mostly all crap) like dm, erasure, psb, omd, new order, info. society, etc...and then Basic Instinct came out, along with 2unlimited and from there i tried to find out as much about techno as i could, stumbled along some friendly sources/wells of information and here i am today. =) ___ (:)====/__/\=(:)(:)============================(:)====================(:) |\| _\_ \ \|\||=| Tai Nguyen |\| email address: |=| |=| /__/\_\ \=||\| Cornell University |=| thn1@cornell.edu |\| |\| / /\ __/\|(:)============================(:)====================(:) |=|/ / /\ \ |=||=| "These are not my figures I'm quoting.
