I interviewed Frankie about 5 years ago and he told me that even as late as 89/90 the Detroit stuff hadn't really reached NY, he had not really heard of techno and his main inspirations were still house, electro, disco and hip hop. Don't know how much truth there was to that, but I guess to even consider it NY techno is something of a compliment if it was truly produced in a vacume from Detroit.
you dont think thats why he would say something like that? if he could, he would convince the world that he invented music in general. its just part of his trying to build himself up into something else. ==================================== Were you there in the '80s? Thought not. stfu
