Well, I make techno more than listen to it, actually. I agree
that most techno fans here in the U.S. are much more interested in
throwing parties than making tracks, but then again, I live in Nashville,
TN, which can't help my perspective much. I'm one of two people I know
in the scene here that is actively working on any techno that isn't

Stage-Miming-To-Dat-Behind-A-Keyboard-At-My-Own-Parties BS. <WHEW!> :)
I wonder if this all has something to do with how, in the U.K., Techno
attracted people to Raves, whilst in the U.S. the opposite is true?
Anyway, there are a few of us out here . . . It's just that, for
the most part, we're at Xero pheet and haven't quite yet started to Rise
