My feeling has been that all the cheesy rave stuff (The Prodigy,
Sesame's Treet, etc.), which also happened to be the most widely
heard music, is what defined "what techno is" for most people a
couple of years ago. Which is a shame, because now they're not
giving the really great stuff (ie. Aphex, Orbital, on and on) a
chance. I think that if the idm stuff had risen to prominence on a
wide scale (ie. the commercial market) before all the cheesy novelty
tracks, techno would at least get a lot more respect from the
non-techno fans. That's my worthless opinion and I'm keeping it,
although you can use it too.
