The thing about techno is, usually the best thing you can do is buy an album by an artist or compilation and just let it play all the way through. i find it quite hard to like specific songs, because if you ever go clubbing or to a techno gig, ull find that each song is mixed quite slowly into the next one, so it flows u see, so each song is only as good as the guy or girl mixin it.
Basically the point of this post is that you should go out and buy some compilation cd's, thats what i do, that way you'll listen to a broad range of dj's in each type of techno. My recommendations for compilations are "Hard House Classics", and the "Rush Hour" compilations (there's two of them.)
My artist recommendations would be DJ Shadow, The Chemical Brothers, and Dj Sal and MC Storm. Oh, and if you can find it, Rob Dougan, he did a lot for the matrix soundtrack, but his album Furious Angel is awesome. You'll probly have to download most of his stuff from things like Kazaa/Ares/WinMX and other p2p networks.
