All I can say is:

P.S. God help us.
P.P.S. I suggest a listen to some 80s U.S. house, techno, garage, acid comps. The 15-set "House Sound of Chicago" is a good starting point.
Ironically released on a German label (?), contains almost completely U.S. artists.
From early proto-house to late-eighties acid.
Of course, this might be a good starting point for a "Where Are They Now?" discussion.
Then again, it might not.
