Whoa....  I have a lot of trouble dismissing Autechre, Aphex Twin, Banco de
Gaia, the Future Sound of London, Orbital, Underworld, and a lot of others
who are into "the entire techno/DJ thing" that easily.  Granted, I've heard
plenty of techno/d'n'b/ambient/jungle/triphop/whatever that was awful, and
I'm sure there are more bad DJs out there than good ones, but isn't that the
case with every type of musician?
