The way I heard it, the album was initially going to be called "The House Sound Of Detroit", as back then the music was seen by the UK press as being pretty much house music from Detroit, but the label wanted to put a certain slant on it, asking the Belleville Three if there were any other terms they might use to refer to the music to distinguish it from Chicago. Juan Atkins stood up and shouted "techno!".
The first half sounds right. From what I know, Juan was the last to submit his track for the compilation. His submission was called "Techno Music." *That's* what prompted them to change the name.
