Wasn't Network run out of Birmingham?
Or am I wrong? (more than likely)
But your not and for the record I don't think or feel it's Sheffield as
the electronic scene here dates back to 1973 - way before techno, so
I'd say Sheffield was more of an influence than The Second City. Many
cities may also claim urban governance and industrial declines - it's a
general rationalisation and one that isn't unique - Birmingham and
Sheffield do has strong resemblance's to Detroit rather than say
Berlin but is that enough? Any City that is dependent on one industry
could also stake a claim on those grounds.
