well it's just that guitar solos on techno tracks kind of spoils it for some people, same with vocals. personally i love vocals, but i've always thought that certain tracks that should have been great (cybotron, and half the egyptian lover lp!!) were a bit hard to listen to because of 'creative stylings on guitar' :-) but i love guitars - i just don't think they fit in certain situations. i mean you wouldn't have flamenco in an autechre track. (though if they are reading, try it out...)

tut - einbahn is the best one on there!!!!!

i always thought evolution was one of the most experimental detroit tracks.. though there is some confusion over which track 'evolution' actually is.. though my bfc lists that track as 'it's a shame' it's called evolution on the relics cd and it's the one kenny larkin ripped off in a major way on his 'nocturnal' track
