i was a victim of FTI movement, i had heard the song Einstein before it but wasnt feeling it, than another tech fan from texas directed me to therealtechn9ne.com where the absolute power was available for download, i started listening song by song and was very impressed, Gunz Will Bust was the first to get my complete atention cause i spoke german, all history from there, now i wouldnt miss a show in cleveland even if a friends funeral was on the same day
EDIT: actually i had first heard him as soon as i moved to america, st clair in cleveland,year 1999 but tech didnt stand out to me, tho i loved that song, later discoverd he was in that song after i was hooked on the infectious virus, since than had gotten at least 10 people hooked, even people from other styles of music changed once introducted to tech, techno heads, metal heads, pop tarts, and even my currently 7 year old sister, who knows at least 10 of the hooks from his shit
