From the same shallow article:
"with the cachet of hipness that Americans always assign British Music,
techno slowly begins to make inroads into white America, and raves,
particularly on the west coast, were suddenly touted as the wave of the
future. Skimming gracelessly from tracts on pagan religions, new-age
pamphlets, and 60's bumper stickers, proponents of the new scene stiched
together a gooey spirituality. They made drug use a staple of the
movement, even digging up Timothy Leary and adopting him as an elder
statesman. And they quickly ripped off oversized "gear," already an
established signifier of the hip hop and beach subcultures, as their
easy-to-purchase uniform."
ObIDM: As TeeP alluded, Richard James and Mike Paradinas (aka Mu-Ziq)
are recording together. wicked.
