Love 'em or leave 'em, appreciated or under-rated,
I must say that B12 are far from being
"Detroit techno wannabee".
When they came out I was'nt really as taken by them as other early 90's
"classics"but in time I've come to appreciate them more.
As Lance says (below) it *does* show it's influences but definitely strays
somewhere else, somewhere colder, somewhere with less *emotion* (?)
As a Detroit fan and as an IDM fan, I just can't tag B12 as
"Detroit techno wannabee".
