i've been reading sicko's book... the opening chapters only complain about
techno's not being mainstream music, and i fast grew bored with it.
besides, have you even read _generation ecstacy_ ? obviously not. the book
OPENS with a quote by derrick may, and the whole first chapter is largely
about the early-80's detroit techno scene !
do your homework !
