That should be his bio, somewhere, for some site or other, of his.
The future Akashic Records of music, that he tapped into… I’d heard of Steely Dan, when growing up, yeah…

From video description:
“Recorded in Februrary 1989 at the Brotherhood Club, Detroit, MI”
Detroit take on (model of?) European electro scene.
Same with videos… I can sometimes only like part of a video, not the whole video, but just part of the video… e.g. in the Prince video I posted in the Madonna thread, he goes way overboard in provoking the viewer to an uncomfortable point… but perhaps that was his intention, to.
The best that has come from “Detroit techno” guys.

This is probably as chirpy as I like my entertainment… though I can be exuberant at times. These lyrics = where the entire world is currently at, in not being able to perceive where others’ heads are at… the rest of the lyrics being subject to the individual and/or non-applicable.
This is also reminiscent of old-time reggae from the 60s and 70s, the trumpets and the musicality of it especially… perhaps that is what he was going for.

“Plastic Soul” by Mondo Cozmo.
It’s my new favorite.
Please let your ears have it.

…having Spring-specific hay-fever, myself… which is mild, but still annoying, compared to non-specific-pollen hay-fever, I can empathise somewhat… for those with the latter.
Springtime Stroll… amongst the airborne pollen…

Thought this was a song by Janet Jackson.
How does English techno compare to that of Detroit?
Here’s one of my favorites:

There’s like 40 versions of this track. This one is Pacific State 707. My personal favorite is 98 version:

One can say they are cheating because they are using sax.
I didn’t know that Brit techno was influenced and came about, by the Detroit music scene… I wasn’t really enamoured with either. Can anyone tell who they were influenced by?
The Indie pop/rock and rave scenes were in full flow here, then… I danced to this, this, and this track a lot… amongst others, like this one… the precursors to Groove Armada, perhaps.

A daily dose of happiness in a solitary song… just once a day should be enough to help you get through your day.

…and this one’s to fall asleep to… as the necessity to sleep eventually crosses my path, to the sound of chillout dubstep.

It doesn’t quite sound like it, so if you ask me, it’s questionable to what extent it’s influenced by Detroit techno. The official narrative is that the word “techno” did not enter popular use until around 1988 when Techno! The New Sound of Detroit compilation was released. That might be true but that does not mean that European techno was influenced by it to a significant extent. Detroit techno is nothing more than either house a.k.a. disco in the post-disco era (Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson) or electro (Juan Atkins.) Interestingly, the compilation was initially planned to be released under the title “The House Sound of Detroit”. So they knew they were doing nothing new, but they decided to change it later on, probably for marketing reasons. Much easier to create new words than to create new music.
Here’s some industrial EBM for a change:

Colored Music - Heartbeat was released in 1981 and I think back then it was called New Wave or something like that. Nowadays, it would be called “progressive house”.
The Creative Technology Institute - Dancing Ghosts was released in 1984 (made by former Throbbing Gristle members) and back then it was simply called electro (I think). Nowadays, it would be called “trance”.
…only track I can tolerate… out of that lot 
Derrick May …danced to it plenty, in the very-early 90s.
Never saw the appeal in Inner City’s’Big Fun’… I hate overly-happy songs. lol
I prefer this version of this club classic. lol
EBM? I know what Industrial is… not a fan, but there’s always one or two exceptions… in any genre.
Brit New Wave was completely different to the European version of the genre… we never quite got the appeal of you guys to Techno and other similar sounds, a little… sure, but an entire night of that? Nah!
The Euro Techno guys and the Brit Rave girls, and never did that twain ever meet… come party with us, they’d say… not to that, we replied.
Not bad!
Some Electro Dance, or otherwise known as Trance, by The Prodigy.
Two tunes by Chase & Status… one x Liam Bailey, the other… x Bugzy Malone.
A more 80s reggae sound, to this Dubstep/Drum & Bass track…

Similar to Bakar, in the Ska/retro-Reggae Brit vibe…
