  • Two recordings by Detroit artists introduced the earliest beginnings of techno as its own style and genre. This track and "Alleys of your mind" by Cybotron are the two in question. In essence, this track is regarded by many as being the very first Detroit Techno track to hit the streets. The name Sharevari evolved from the legendary Charivari parties that began attracting a cult following in 1980 and was a tribute to Detroit's high school party scene. The track name was altered slightly to avoid any possible conflict with the Charivari party promoters. Apparently (source Techno Rebels The Renegades Of Electronic Funk book), the legendary radio jock Charles Johnson, also known as "the Electrifying Mojo" (or simply Mojo) was in the crowd the night Sharevari was first played at a Charivari party. He convinced A Number Of Names to come down to his show on radio station WGPR. Although there were only three writers credited on the record (Paul Lesley, Sterling Jones and Roderick Simpson), a virtual army of band members showed up and crammed into the DJ booth. According to Mojo, they said "What do we call ourselves? We don't have a name". Mojo said, "How may of you are there? Quite a few - why don't your call yourselves A Number Of Names?". Mojo played the record and people went crazy over it. A Number Of Names (now so called) were actually pushing a different song "Skitso" but he said "Sharevari is the one I am going to play". And so this record became one of the most important records in the evolution of techno music. A true seminal release. You will also notice that the catalogue number is P-928, which is a reference to a Porsche 928 as referred to in the lyrics of this record.

    • @daisaigai7
      @daisaigai7 9 років тому +23

      Unfortunately nothing else than a fake title. Right from the beginning they copied Kraftwerk's/Ultravox' Electro-Funk and Synthpop sound. Then they started to imitate Chicago's House/Acid sound... And later in 1988/89 they tried to create something new and called it "Detroit Techno". At that time, Techno already existed worldwide.
      A Number of Names' '81 track is really something special...but that's the only track. There was no Techno movement at that time. And there was no Techno movement five years later... In 1986, the world was flooded by Hi-NRG, Italo-Disco, House music, Hip Hop... but no Techno.

    • @KickDrum808
      @KickDrum808 9 років тому +13

      I'm just saying that the actual word "Techno" was formed in Detroit. You have to go back a little further than the late 80's. Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Carl Craigslist, and Kevin Sanderson pioneered the Detroit techno sound in the early to mid 80's. And yes Kraftwerk are the originators of the sound. I have most of there albums.

    • @daisaigai7
      @daisaigai7 9 років тому +16

      Jack Scott
      For the use of the term "Techno" you have to go back to 1979. Detroit didn't invent anything. In 1981/82 the term Techno was well established. It described New Wave/Synthpop music from Europe and Japan. Even in the US it has been used in Los Angeles and Chicago to describe SynthPop/New Wave music, incl. Technopop such as Kraftwerk.
      Detroit's early music was Electro, not Techno. The term "Detroit Techno" didn't exist until 1988.

    • @Anchor019
      @Anchor019 9 років тому +15

      ***** You're an idiot. Kraftwerk's work lacks the Funk/Electro/Disco/house sounds that American, specially Afro-American originated music has. Kraftwerk's stuff is nothing like this & is pure synthpop electronic classic influenced music most of the time. Techno on the other hand is very much influenced by electro/disco etc.

    Love this track and hate to admit that I’ve gone decades without a 12” copy in my crates. The importance and influence of pioneers such as Depeche Mode cannot be overstated when listening to/learning about the seedlings of techno and other blossoming electronic genres of the time (Speak & Spell actually came out the same year as this, 1981, but DM’s music had been circulating among djs and the underground for over a year at this point) This gem of a track is testament to that.
