Punk Rocker in Techno Shocker

[Dubversion]

I know acid techno supposedly comes from punk but I find that very strange as I love techno but always hated punk music - I can't see much of a likeness myself or is the connection because many of the originators of acid techno were previously into punk?

don't think anyone said acid techno COMES from punk. just that there's a crossover in audience / creators. and anyway, not punk in the proper sense, but as already mentioned, the late 80s squat / anarcho / crusty scene

Dave the Drummer (was in Back to the Planet iirc), Guy McAffer,

Guy was in BTTP too. So was Karl, who's worked with Guy (Geezer) on stuff like Audio Pancake and Punk Floyd

I would have thought the acid techno scene and hardcore punk would be considered non sexist so don't really understand the 'machismo' arguement.........neither do I accept that both types are 'non musical'..

Harder! Faster!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the scenes were sexist, just that they have a sound in common that's coded as masculine, what Blagsta says basically. By 'musicality' I mean, delicacy or overt emotional stuff - as opposed to the three-chord attitude, functional and immediate music. (also, these aren't supposed to be value judgements)

just to clarify, thats anarcho as in short for 'anarcho punk' - anarchist are not responsible for acid techno. Nor anarcho punk either really

Got one here, apologies for lopping part off him off (probably off my face when I took it at one of the Meanwhile Gardens free gigs ):

I think I posted the other one which can be found somewhere on the Blyth Power website.
