The best techno comes from the UK (you were supposed to know it, Maxim303 ). Some important things came from US, like Detroit techno, Chicago House and hip-hop...
Keep in mind that electronic music doesn't have a homeland: it's universal

yes, europe has surpassed the states as far as electronic music, but kraftwerk were not techno. electronic, but not "techno" as we know and love today.

And arabs have done nothing for the world? Hah, Russia wouldn't ever have vodka if it weren't for them (just ONE example out of maaaaaaaaaaaany others)
|
no, arabs have contributed to the world, algebra, number system, etc. in fact, they used to be centers of learning and prosperity. but i was asking about the last 1000 years, and nothing vital i can think of has come from them. but they sure have spilled a lot of innocent blood, no?

And by the way, we, "non-Americans that imitate everything that comes from the US" know how to discuss without flaming, just like most people from the US. Unfortunately, there are some sad exceptions, who ironically, aren't even American... grustno, da? |
i didn't flame anyone. yeah, i came off a bit agressive, but it's aggrevating hearing someone say "USA, of course". what kind of statement is that? "of course"? like it's a given to hate usa. and face it, usa has given the world a whole lot of good (some crap too) but nothing to make it be hated so much. i understand most of it is jealousy, since we do have the best life here, but i don't hate holland because they have the best trance or anything.. and btw, i am "american" now.. naturalized..but don't start saying shit about russia.. gonna bite your head of for that too )
