Is that so unusual? You have to consider the salary one makes. I know one musician in russia who does techno music, but was able to afford a 486 computer running windows, a Gravis Ultrasound (32 notes multitimbral sampler card for pc) and an analog synth only because his father was working for a while for a UK university. And no 303 of course :) (well i think he may use my 303 samples...). My father goes to russia once in a while, and the closest to a techno tape he has been able to find in a store is some russian rap (quite bad actually. I even have one tape that has close to me by the cure in rap...). This is because stores wont stock techno cause it wont sell. You have to buy them usually directly from the artists who do techno.
