My roots were in 1990 with labels like "zoth ommog", "suck me plasma" "new zone". Then came technohouse with quadrophonia, james brown is dead, 808 state and all the other bleeps and clonks...
great times

from what i have gathered is that ron hardy and a few others in chicago were playing/djing what i and others would consider to be modern day 'techno music' a few years before the buzz word 'techno' came about in detroit.
No question Derrick May went to Chi and saw Hardy, but really derrick and many of the early pioneers of detroit techno were still classified as house music; at least in chicago, new york and other cities too.
I think joey beltram in the late 80s and trax records is really what set off what would become the underground techno movement through out the world.

tears in my eyes
I'd say you need to start looking as far back as Kraftwerk, people like Juan Atkins ( then in Cybotron ) were making Electro but it was definitely more edgy and 'leftfield' than your straight-up, run-of-the-mill electro that Bambaattaa were knocking out.
Although 'Clear' was Electro more than anything, I think it had the grounding for Techno tracks which came later, I wouldn't like to say what was the original techno track, certainly, 'strings of life' has to be there-and-abouts.
There's probably a bit of fact in there somewhere but I doubt I could put my finger on it. According to Juan Atkins, the term 'techno' came from a book.
