Well, I'd say if they're still making trashy techno (rave sirens wailing, whistles blowing, pounding 140bpm chez pseudo breakbeat madness) then it deserves to be nuked. I haven't heard it though, but most techno musicians have progressed light years away from the first rave-techno that hit the streets.

Actually, WIRED featured the latest Messiah album (_21st Century Jesus_?) as its microwavable disc o' the month. Anyone out there heard it and can comment to the validity of their burning? ;-) Personally, "Temple of Dreams" is one of the more fun "techno-house" tunes I've ever heard, with the exception of some early TKK.

Well, you just described their last single perfectly :) A true frisbee of a record, which they insist on playing on the local CommercialAlternative (sic) station... Anyway, the ninny in Rolling Stone essentially dismissed techno as heartless and brainless, while implying that Messiah were better than average because they used vocals & samples(!) and giving it two stars. | Dave Walker, Detroit Art Services (DAS) -- marmoset@msen.com | | | | Without chemicals, life itself would be impossible. |
