techno

isnt techno just another way of saying "electronic music", i mean i like trance blah blah but when people ask me i find it rolls of the toungue best if i just use the term techno to describe what i listen to....

sorry its quite incorrect to label trance as
techno....tho if i may be so bold i might say
techno is the root form of ALL "electronic" music,
INCLUDING trance, if in a historical sense only.

Techno differs from that of (modern) trance a
great deal to the educated ear, but il let you
research that for yourself...plenty of websites out
there can help with descriptions and
examples....some of our more learned
colleagues on this board may be able to
suggest some here as well?....

sweet as, will be more descriptive nxt time someone asks

im borred of trying to clear up techno missunderstandings. i think the best thing would be for you to go down to crucial records on high st and check out the techno section. good range there and most ep's have web addresses. have a listen, write down some names and lables, search the web. from there the techno world will open up for you.
you can also check out sound bites of new releases from http://www.juno.co.uk/. they have a good techno section.

I think that's always been the problem with techno. People don't understand what it actually sounds like so never bother checking it out. When you do actually drag someone along to check it out they love it.

yep. you either get it or you dont.
