"we do not claim to come even close with this list. "

then why bother?

then again, it's not a top 20 list - as in the best examples of the field
just a list of tunes they think every techno fan should know
imo, I don't see, even with their explanation, why it's essential to know 
Damon Wild's "2112" 
or Richie Hawtin's "Minus/Orange 1" 

it seems to be a list that hints at "hey, if you're going to go see Richie 
Hawtin dj you better know these tunes"
