Techno is the thinking man’s music. It has no lyrics, save for the occasional vocal sample. It is simply a collection of tones strung out over repeating percussion. With little lyrical content the listener is free to think of their own words, free to attach moods to the tones, free to solve that calculus problem that stumped them at uni five years ago..

The rantings and whinings of the artist are not included. Techno does not burden me with someone else’s lost loves. Emotion can certainly be construed through clever combination of sounds, but it does not ‘tell me’ what to be happy/miserable/puzzled about.. I get to do all that myself. Hence, techno is the thinking person’s music.
