What, Exactly, Was Techno?


As part of MEL's yearlong look back at 1997, I tried to explain why techno was such a big deal at the time, even though people couldn't quite define what the music even sounded like. This was fun.

The Chemical Brothers (featuring Beth Orton) - "Where Do I Begin"

From the 1997 album Dig Your Own Hole, "Where Do I Begin" features Beth Orton vulnerably singing this verse again and again....

Sunday morning I'm waking up 
Can't even focus on a coffee cup 
Don't even know whose bed I'm in 
Where do I start 
Where do I begin

It's a great start to a short story, one that the Chemical Brothers never finish, which only makes the setup all the more intriguing. So many possible directions for that narrative to travel.
