The article was a nice trip down memory lane. It could have looked at the similarities between this trend, reintroducing dance music to america and getting it played on the radio, and what happened in the 60’s with bands like the stones, and the animals. They were covering american blues artists and eventually eventually raised awareness of a very important musical movement that was being largely ignored by certain parts of society. When both trends receded the US was left with the original influential artists. It must have been quite a nice surprise to these kids when they realized that all along right on their doorstep they had, Todd Terry, MAW, Armand, Sneak, flipping, Derrick May, Juan Atkins, and Kevin Saunderson. There’s loads of examples, you get the idea.
