 No way. Techno is a House-style. You've got a mainstyle, that's House, and
 some substyles as Techno, Chemical, Trip-Hop, Gabber, Trance, Mellow/Club,
 HardTrance, ClubTrance, Hardhouse, etc.

Hmmm.. it's hard for me to describe howie b. All I can say that's it's dam
good! Wroth of buying... well compared to Portishead it's you could say more
techno =)
s
any
Yeah tricky isn't my number one in trip hop, but it's listenable you could
say. It's funny how you sometimes buy some record and it sounds crap and
later on you love it. I didn't like Portishead first time I listened to it
b'cos I expected more techno-sounding, but it took about too songs and I was
hooked =)
a
Yeah that's a good way to introduce trip hop to people or something =) I have
planned to open a 'disco' or a bar that downstairs plays mainly goa(my friend
is goa fan) and up stairs 'the chill room' plays ambient and stuff like
that.. It's very rare in Finland to have a place where they would play GOOD
music all the time... the 'roughest' place here in Turku plays something like
sash and brooklin bounce and stuff like dat yaa.. Well we have this place
called funky kitchen that plays from jazz to hip hop =) puuh.. getting
tired.. gotto go to sleep..
