I hope this forum also accepts other genres with a warm heart. Because.... I've been listening to techno music a while now (a year or so), and I was wondering whether or not someone could enlighten me on the subject. I mostly followed currently popular artists. However, I would like to explore some significant artists, who influenced the genre, too. Of course, I already know some legendary artists such as: Aphex Twin, Jeff Mills,... but I can't fill in the missing gaps myself. Would someone be so kind to give me a brief outline of the history of techno music. I would also like to have a picture in mind 'how they influenced the genre' (i.e. album titles, songs).
Furthermore I have to admit that my ears are not quiet adapted yet. I have (sometimes) trouble detecting differences between subgenres. What do I need to pay attention at? If someone is really in favour of teaching me something, you may tell me a song title and tell me which typical pattern of sound I need to hear.
Of course, all of this may be found irrelevant, since in the end, I just want to enjoy the music. But to put labels on different kinds of music, makes it a lot easier to search for new music you like
Regards
(p.s. the wikipedia page was unsatisfactory, a personal point of view is always better)
