re: techno- couldn't you really credit the roots (the start of the chain reaction) to germany and well we won't point any fingers for Giorgio Moroder and what his productions lead to (viva Italia).
both giorgio and kraftwerk took much influence from american music: see the quote about kraftwerk studying james brown's rhythm and just about any good moroder interview where he talks about motown and how he copied many of his ideas from american r+b. but that isnt the point, of course, and its not the argument i was trying to make. i was simply pointing out how many innovations have come from american (not even just in music, in general!) minds and that the focus on individuality has something to do with that. tom
