I actually agree with you in some way. But the term "techno" sounds so
unclear to me... this word is now being used for almost every electronic
artist around (well, at least here and, as I could get, the same happens in
the US).
Aphex, Autechre, Future Sound Of London, u-ziq, orbital, are so
distinctive - IMHO - that I can't figure out why I should use the word
"techno" for describing all of them and some others. (Hope I am being clear
in explaining what I feel about this).

Oh, but I think this isn't the truth for most of the other countries.

And here in Brazil too.

Yeah, the Detroit scene. But I still can't notice very much influence by
Detroit techno in Aphex's sound, for example.

I understand your point of view, but I like to refer to Aphex Twin as
"experimental electronic sound" (gasp) :-))
