Ahead?!? Techno is music's answer to the gutter. I cringe whenever I pass a radio set blasting out it's crap; am passed by a car blerting this crap out, or flick to a TV channel showing this rubbish. It's about as musical as the sound I make on the bog. For people with no taste, style, cool, or musical depth. Exercise your brain people, for god's sake!!! Thank you very much I, personnaly, love Techno. But you must make the difference between different kinds of Techno. Hardcore I would admit is crap with basses booming all over the place and f***s and s***s everywhere. Far from being my favorite. Trance is a music with lots of harmonic and not very bass Techno is a bit like Trance with a bit more Bass. I would also say that the music from the gutter would be French Rap. I mean what is that? People talking in french on a rhytm which changes every thousand songs. Thank but I prefer Techno.
