I disagree with the UR quote because UR tried to distance themselves away from techno when Interstellar Fugitives came out, denouncing techno and promoting hi-tek funk. People who have a problem categorizing techno calling it anything music, or anything made with technology seem to not have a problem categorizing other forms of music like House, Jazz, Blues, Disco. Yet you walk into a record store and dont see Moodyman or Blaze or DJ Assault in the techno section, or the man behind the counter refering to those artist as techno. Do you see Innerzone Orchestra or the music on the Planet E label (newer stuff excluding The Climax) described as techno or Detroit techno in record store new stock list. I more than often see people associating the word techno with Marco Carola or Jeff Mills when they use it with Derick May's name it's usually in past tense like "Techno Innovator" or "Techno Pioneer."
