Well, its a new year and hopefully some new things will occur in the
progressive dance music world.

I have some copies of the 'Official German Technocharts' from last year
this time and thought some of you would be interested in seeing exactly
what was big this time last year.  I don't consider germany the authoritative
voice on techno, but there is definately a german influence on techno.
Besides, if you see a song in this list that someone has just stated is
the greatest new techno song, you can definatively state that that has
been out for a year!

Here it is:
