Not even remotely close to being the first Techno track, by any definition, but still cool.
agreed.
sorry, i meant to say 'detroit techno'
you know what i mean
em yea it's more of a dark italo number.. just because it was big in detroit doesn't mean it's detroit techno! techno didn't come along for another few years
Well, they are from detroit, not Italy.
I finally found an OG copy, and a week later found the Quality pressing! (but it's warped).
'Italo' has nothing to do with Italy as a style/genre of music.
The beat sounds very techno-ish, that's good enough for me. Nice track.
"Not even remotely close to being the first Techno track, by any definition"
That's weird, '..not even remotely..', when I read this on Discogs:
"The song is interpreted by some enthusiasts as an early example of techno music. In a 2009 interview, Juan Atkins said that the song is not techno. The 313 list's FAQ is more diplomatic, just calling the song "an important step in the evolution of Detroit techno: an early externalization and reinterpretation by the city's African-American youth of electronic European sounds."
What it is or what style/genre its called is always debatable(with lots of other tracks too).. i ask myself: can you dance to it? can u mix it with any music of similar speed?would it transition well into something harder like techno, or something happier? how does the music FEEL?
i could mix this with techno,house,italo,michael jackson- thats what makes it special to me.
