Sorry, but those are very few and far between. And *if* they are mentioned
at all (I've never seen Drexciya or Model 500 mentioned, only Cybotron
once, most of the time only Kraftwerk and/or Bambaataa get a nod), it's
maybe as a quote from one of the artists that doesn't get followed up. You
can count the journalists that wrote about electroca$h that are really
knowledgable on one hand unfortunately.

Not to mention Italian disco, German wave music and the whole The Hague
scene. Pretty soon the UK and US influences will be sanitized away as well
and we'll all be kneeling at the altar of Hell.
