Music Tasting - Techno Day

 


Techno is celebrated today in honor of its founder, Juan Atkins, who was born on this day in 1962.

His first band, Cybotron, released an album in 1981.  He released his own work as Model 500 in 1985.  It was in the studio that he met Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, now known as the Belleville Three.


Techno has never really been my thing but I did get into KMFDM for a bit, which is considered a kind of industrial techno.


And when I was in high school, somebody got me into Lords of Acid for a minute.


And then of course, there was Burning Man.


There's no real escaping the techno beats out there, and we reached a point where it was soothing - we kinda missed it when we came home.  Above, is Distrikt Camp - pretty much an all day party.

Their website has their music streaming.


And if I recall correctly, this was a traveling techno dance party.  Picking up and dropping off.

Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

  Othram is a company providing forensics technology for cold case work. "Justice is not a luxury; it is a basic human right." In 1997, rock climbers in rural Washoe County found human remains buried under stones in a shallow grave.  While cause of death could not be determined, it was ruled a homicide. Investigators entered her information, including a forensic facial reconstruction, into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System but no leads yielded a match. Earlier this week, with Othram's help, Washoe County was able to identify Lorena Gayle Mosley, who was 41 at the time of her death.   Scientists were able to develop a DNA extract to be used in genome sequencing, building a comprehensive profile for the victim.  Their in-house genetic genealogy team was then able to develop investigative leads that were returned to Washoe County. In follow-up investigation, the Medical Examiner's Office Medicolegal Death Investigator/Technician Supervisor Sarah Turne
