Techno has to have coherent beats? Hrm

Nimowe thinks I'm insane when I listen to Venetian Snares (exmaple: Winnipeg is a Frozen ********** or Autechre (example: Ganz Graf)... since they sound like random noise.

Mmmmmm, Glitch

I listen to techno when coding a lot. For me it's similar to classical, kinda hypnotic. I prefer music without lyrics normally when I'm trying to focus on something, it blocks out the rest of the sounds from around me and just kinda gets me into a groove.

Dunno, works for me. Besides, most popular music today is crap anyway. I mean, why does half the siht they put out there even have lyrics? People seem to only listen to the beat 99% of the time now (r&b, hip hop, pop), hell if they actually listened to the lyrics we might be able to get some of this pure sh*t off the planet.

ie "Why is the chorus 'I like banana-nana'? I'm burning this CD."

Just seems like there are worse things in life, and in music, than techno.

ed. Just thought about it, and I really think "I like banana-nana" could be a hit. Someone work on that.

Some of the stuff that Faithless/Massive Attack/Prodigy has done, to cite but a few, is amazing.

No, it's not just you. All of us beautiful people don't like it when drunk, ugly people do that regardless of what genre of music they are listening too. Now hawt chicks rubbin' all up ins listening to the same thing would be a different story.

I used to be big into the rave scene and listened to "techno" as well as DJd some parties. There are many different styles that fall under the umbrella of techno. Energy, House, Trance, Happy-core, and Drum and Base just to name a few. None of these styles of "techno" are conducive (sp) to grinding up against someone while dancing.

Trance is popular with people who roll (take xtc) because of the melodies and the ups/downs of the song. Personally I prefer a nice Deep House set spun by Mark Farina or someone like him.

House breakers are some of the more gifted dancers in the clubs. Nothing like a house circle with people challenging others. watching them pop and lock, glide, and do some incredible moves that I couldn’t even dream of doing even when i was younger.

/sigh

Ahh... the memories.... some more cloudy then others....

From the late eighties and all thru the nineties, I really got into electronic 'dance music'. I spent quite a bit of time in the trance scenes of Goa and Thailand, first as a punter and later as an occasional DJ and sure, theres a lot o' sh1te music in that scene, but I had some bloody wild times.

Rockin' your nuts off on a beach in thailand, to a banging choon, spinning off your nut, watchin the sun come up surrounded by dozens of grinning idiots, is a fine way to spend your free time.

Imagine my delight to get back to the UK to discover that the 'dance party' was alive and kicking there too!

I wonder if there any others here who went to the Castle Moreton festival? A full week and more of drug induced, musical insanity, that was directly responsible for passing of the Criminal Justice Bill. What about the Pagan parties held at the Linford Film studios in the early nineties, the early TIP parties, the last few Stonehenge festies, the warehouse parties, the 'free' parties held in aircraft hangers outside the M25 (with a free 'e' on entry), even the 'reclaim the streets' parties held on motorway junctions on saturday afternoons, or the one held in Trafalger Square in 98, and soooo many others, from San Fran to Portugal, Tel Aviv to the Himalayan valleys and the islands of Thailand.

Fantastic times. but that was then, and this is now. More into drum and bass, breaks, and the more chilled forms of electronica these days, even listening to proper instruments and singers again now. But just as Motorhead concerts and the Reading Festivals got me thru my teens, 'Tekno' 'trance','doof' whatever you call it, was the soundtrack of the nineties in my world.

If you don't like it....tough!

But you know what? I Fucking loved it. Cool times in hot places with some fantastic people.

So there! stick that in your chillum and smoke it. bom shankar!!

First emo, now techno. What's next polka? At least somebody's slobbering on something in that music.




Even if it's a tuba.
