Well, I dunno. Raymond Scott did some very techno/ambient/idm sounding stuff before that. I guess it depends how loosely you want to interpret "sounds like techno". RS had repetative rhythms, bloopy synths (many of which hand made before the likes of Moog and Buchla), etc, etc. And he did some music for old WB cartoons to boot!

Amazing stuff and a perfect example of what im talking about: http://users.aol.com/DevilDrums/SSFB.htm -- Rob Williams</>fEEd</>Tempest xx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx</>xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx
