The whole Kraftwerk was very influential in starting the electronica genre. When I refer to techno, i'm refering to a very specific genre within electronica. I was not arguing that Atkins/May did not receive influence from Kraftwerk, but started a more specific genre.

Yeah, it's flamebait, but this guy came on the list, made a lot of noise, then said this list was worthless to him and was going to leave. Then makes clueless statements. Tends to raise my ire. I apologize. Brian (*) Fresh and Full of Life Brian Tang NYC http://silly.com/~tang
