First, sorry about the 2x-post. I sent it on Sunday before Sean's came through and it just appeared today. > so you think eddie fowlkes deserves to be mentioned along with the other > three? In terms of '80s Detroit Techno productions, yeah, I think his name deserves to be up there. There are lots of people who were DJing then, or had contributions on a few records that deserve more recognition as well, but Eddie Fowlkes was making and releasing records on par with the other 3 and is usually not mentioned beside them. Obviously, you have people that were making house at this time as well, but this is about the contribution of techno. I think' EFF's contribution is as early and as valuable as the other three, and earlier than the earliest UR, etc, that followed soon thereafter. AFAIK, 'Goodbye Kiss' predates anything from Derrick May or Kevin Saunderson, as well. I'm really looking forward to Dan's EFF project, b/c these are the best I'm finding at the moment: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Eddie_flashin_Fowlkes http://paper.state51.co.uk/people/eddiefowlkes.html Also, he remixed The Pet Shop Boys before anyone else from Detroit. :) I think it's all debatable. I'm just saying I'm happy to see that this is one of the few times his place in techno history is included.
