You shouldn't expect, or even want, artists to stay stuck in the same style
(especially if it is since 1977!). And, the fact that their music evolved
from a different background is probably a positive aspect of what they
produce. Can artists help it if they like what is coming out of the techno
scene? Generally, what one likes tends to have some kind of an impact and
influence on the direction your work may take, whether it be in music, art,
design, etc.
And, Richard Kirk? I think saying that he is someone who is "jumping on
the techno bandwagon" is stretching it somewhat far. I think early Caberet
Voltaire was an important step leading towards techno. It seems like he
and CV have followed a natural progression to what they are doing now.
