>On a related note, I get rather annoyed when people trying to
split off hard techno from the Detroit continuum, I think it all
has its place and it isn't helpful to try and blame hard techno
for everything wrong with techno.
i cant speak for everybody, but i think the bias is just because
harder techno seems very insulated from other forms of techno.
like yussel pointed out earlier, all of the main detroit players
have played the hard stuff, and they obviously invented it as
well. but they never or rarely play it exclusively, at least not
now. mixing it up is whats up if youre going to play harder stuff.
i think kenny larkin's set at movement was good, lots of harder
loopy stuff but mixed with more melodic stuff as well. every now
and then i feel like hearing a full on nothing but banging techno
set, but not usually. i think most people feel that way about it
on this list....
