I honestly didn't know what 'techno' was until I saw 808 state on MTV™
but Afrika Bambaataa, Melle Mel, Whodini & Newcleus and the whole
'breakdancing' & electro / hiphop thing was my way into it.
Detroit didn't mean much to me until about 1989.. [yes, I discovered
Carl Craig after 808 State!]

I think the implication, Frank, is that Mike Banks is in a better
position to judge the history of techno and it's origins than you are.
This seems like a pretty meaningless debate. Techno happened because
of a lot of people and influences, at a particular time and place, and
as it became a distinctive musical style, it went world wide within a
very few years.
You'd be just as correct to nominate Tadao Kikumoto for the Mount
TechnoMore.

have a totally different opinion on your comments...

That's wildly arguable. Certainly nobody can deny a Kraftwerkian
influence in early techno, but I really strongly believe techno
would
have happened with or without them. There were entire too many
other
things going on that affected the Belleville three.
