I would have posted, but was on spring break...
Anyway, Mastercuts CLASSIC ELECTRO is a good representation of what "I"
remember electro being in the early '80's. My brother turned me on to
it. Here in East Denver, where I was born and raised(somewhat similar to
the Cass Corridor area of Detroit), electro boogie was being played on
every street corner, alongside early hiphop, which is why I feel some of
the Brits AREN'T representing true electro to the masses, and some
American producers are just sniffing the butts of the 'brits, to make a
little $$$.
Dave's on the right track, though.
