Just out of interest....What was the first techno record you bought ?
I had heard Mojo and the Wizard on radio when i was younger, even before i started really buying music.. but still too young to attend the M.I. or any Chicago warehouse stuff. (I have family living in both cities, so lucky to get exposed to the music/mixture of both house and techno).. by the time i actually started spending my own money on music, it was stuff like New Order "power, corruption and lies", then Krafterk - Electric Cafe.. was probably the first thing i bought that could be defined just as 'techno'.
Then in a couple years the I got Inner City - Big Fun, and then Lil' Louis - French Kiss. Then 808 State - 90, Orbital - "The Green Album" and 'chime' (which is now a Ringtone for god sake). I was became obsessed with anything Manchester related, as to a midwestern US person it seemed this crazy exotic dance scene that I was too young to experience firsthand in clubs yet over here. It's a case of 'the grass is always greener' i suppose ;)
