Early Detroit Techno
(recommended CDs | Full Info Page)

Many historical reconstructions of techno's past name Kraftwerk and funk music as the sole influences on early techno. Perhaps it is this quote from techno pioneer Derrick May that set the precedent for this connection: "The music [techno] is just like Detroit - a complete mistake. It's like George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator" - Techno Rebels pg 26
The story of techno begins not in early-eighties Detroit, as is so often claimed, but in early-seventies Dusseldorf, where Kraftwerk built their KlingKlang sound factory and churned out pioneering synth-and-drum-machine tracks like "Autobahn" - Generation Ecstasy pg13	Autobahn Kraftwerk - 1974 Amazon | CDNow	Kraftwerk was always very Detroit too because of the industry in Detroit, and because of the mentality. That music automatically appeals to the people like a tribal calling - Derrick May 1992 (one of the "Belleville Three")
Starting with 1974's Autobahn, Kraftwerk single-handedly moved electronic instrumentation out of the cloistered workspaces of inventors and theoreticians and into the bloodstream of popular music - Techno Rebels pg23
Early Detroit techno sounds are still available on CD. We have a webpage devoted to them! Music by the "Belleville Three" in the Golden Detroit Age lives on... Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Eddie Fowlkes (OK, Eddie would make it four).
