techno has two meanings -- it's funny -- for europeans they mean
stuff with no vocals, really underground "hard" stuff -- for
americans, when they say "techno", often they mean what in europe is
called "dance". And "dance" in europe is a lot more mainstream and
pop-oriented
for "american" style techno (i.e. european "dance"), the best example
I've found is this (itunes link):

strangely it's called "euro club hits" ... which makes things even
more confusing ;
for "european" style techno... i.e. the stuff with no songs, I
recommend going to
www.beatport.com and checking out the stuff in the
"techno" section
