... Well, to be fair, 'banging dance music' is what the type of techno which we all remember (e.g. 'It Is What It Is') eventually became. Change happens. We might like to revision history but, it's not wise when it's staring a man in the face! I bought some '94-issue Generator last week: Passarani, Jackson, Deason and of course Oldham. Sweet, sweet tunes and a housey feel a-la Fowlkes. Fast-forward 5 years and what are Passarani and Oldham doing? Razor-sharp high-pitched noises overlaid over a compressed kick! Same artists - and I'm sure it would be "still techno" according to them. I for one am not winging though - when I look around and see the diversity, fertility (steady on!) of this music (inlcuding EVERYTHING) I don't see any reason to be bored at all.
