I'm amused by this... just by reading a book or watching a documentary
you can get the full history of electronic music... i must admit both are
good resources for what has occurred in the history of electronic music,
but detroit is NOT the catalyst for launching electronic music.
In fact, I'd tend to believe every section of this earth has had a part in
launching electronic music... from the "techno pioneers" in detroit to
the warehouse and garage djs in chicago and nyc to the d&b creators in the
UK to john cage in champaign/urbana, IL basically every section of earth
has had *some* part in making electronic music what it is today.
A good article, which complements Modulations and "Generation Ecstacy" is
"Think" by Ed Luna located at
http://www.ele-mental.org/ele_ment/think/original/think.html
Basically it says techno music started when we as humans started
interacting with our environments.
