I disagree. yes Techno is good, but so is heavy metal and such.

Heck - its hard to beat Queensrych: Operation Mindcrime for good ShadowRun
music. It IS cyberpunk music.

Remember - in shadowbeat, it mentions that music which is fairly respected on
the streets is not music with good instrumentation (which can be done by
computer) but rather music with MEANING. Mindcrime fits that rather well
(as does empire). Many times I notice that techno (especially house techno)
has little meaning and is rather similar. Yes its good to dance to, but after a
while it becomes repititious.
