What are considered the "Best" techno songs?
Jude Barnes
rock fan, but I sat down and listened to a few techno pieces this year,
that really just knocked my socks off. Right now I feel like a kid
who's discovered a new toy.
What are considered the "most popular" bands, or what are some of the
tracks that really move most people on the dance floor, or in your
car? Please email or post any suggestions on some titles one should
take time to listen to.
To gauge where my personal tastes are (I'm not sure how much this style
of music varies) A couple of tracks that I REALLY enjoy are:
HIGH ROLLER, by CRYSTALLINE METHOD (used in "Romeo Must Die")
LITTLE FLUFFY CLOUDS, by THE ORB
ATOM BOMB, by FLUKE (thanks, by the way for the two kind souls who
helped identify that one for me!)
I can't wait to find more that are have the same flavor.

If you wnat to check a master at work, get a listen at least of
Laurent Garnier's album, Unreasonable Flavour. It was some banging
tunes as well as some really gentle ones. He is the master of French
Techno, and speaks English with a Mancy accent - the funniest thing
you will have ever heard.

Sounds like you'd also enjoy almost anything by Future Sound of London
(sometimes they just put 'FSOL')
Tetraplan
would be "most beautiful techno" and "best techno album", everyone
throws hundreds of names about...
I mean, you're already on deja, a regular search would do
Check www.submerge.com , lots of sound bites and links...
Different from what you mentioned, but very interesting...

good, but i would recommend listening to trance. Notable artists that will
really smash anything you have ever heard: Three Drives, Nalin and Kane,
Armin Van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, DJ Tiesto, Ralph Fridge, Kai TRacid, Ayla,
Sash!, BT, Cafe del Mar, Astral Prjection, Antiloop, Blank and Jones, Jose
Amesia...... Hundreds more. This is Trance.
drop me a line if you need more info.

You mostly mentioned COMMERCIAL MUSIC FOR MTV KIDS.
b.t.w he asked for Techno NOT trance.
I'll AGAIN try to explain my point of view about nowadays trancemusic:
When you want to draw a picture of (lets say a building), then you have more
options in how to approach it.
-You can put minimal lines on the paper (But you still know it's a building)
-Or you can work it out totally (That even a total idiot can see that it's a
building).
Nowadays Trancemusic is like the second approach.
But the key to musicmaking is in leaving things out, not adding it untill
you get a fuckin' circus of bleepy casio sounds.
Trance is a hype for people who are just exploring electronic music. And the
musicindusty is making alot of money out of it.
They also know that Trance was nice and original about 7 years ago, but they
can make alot of money so why not?. (it's just a hype)
If you still want to know about real trancemusic then check oldies on labels
like:
Superstition/Harthouse-EyeQ/Rising High/ Platipus.......
Or if you want it faster (GOA) the check Blue room releases.

Hawtin!
he was meant to play in South Australia for 3hrs only, he ended up hanging
around for a straight 5 hr set and decided to miss his flight to victoria
because he wanted to party with US! No missed beats! Beautiful funky
Moments! Personality.... non can compare! one hand in the air doesnt look at
the crowd and he was gone!

Too many times have I seen moody DJs that can't mix too well pulling the
crowds (of teenyboppers!!) on their name alone. Am I clubbing in the wrong
places?

There were about 4 thousand people at hawtin and only 1 thousand dancing to
him evryone else said it was washing machine music or they were to busy
socialising. but nevertheless richie loved it... a lot of DJ'S like little
adelaide cause they know the intimacy and the love for music thrives here
! probably not partying in the wrong place but maybe you just need to wait
for people to grow up there and learn to enjoy the dance in its most natural
form *beautiful techno*. we have a lot of teeny boppers here but we filter
them when it comes to the dance... have u ever noticed when the most
beautiful moments in techno come the only people that are there are the ones
that truly love what they are hearing!

trance babies, you newbie fascists should make one. in anycase my personal
considerations for the best techno songs would be the ones that you can play
ten years after they were made and they still work today. another consideration
is that it innovates, breaks new ground starts **another** new genre makes you
realise something new or appreciate where the artist is coming from more than
you thought you would have before.
somebody said to me that any trance artist could easily do techno in a second
so thats why they do trance. but i think it shows reserve and strength to know
where you stand in techno to concentrate on making complex beats and not the
average four four rhythm.
let me point to Der Dritte Raum. he was the absolute shit in my book with his
song trommel machine, but he traded his artistic credibility to me for the
money it takes to keep going and not to keep it real & on the level like most
techno artists.
I dont know where you draw the line at credibility versus artistry versus the
cash anymore. but i do know is that if trancehad any of the same quality it
used to like techno has these days i'd still be spinning trance. SEAN OCEAN.

> Carl Cox is the best DJ in the world. Accept no substitute.
If that is your experience I suggest you go out more as nearly every DJ
I've heard in the last 7 years is leagues ahead of Carl Cox. Mind you,
I've heard better DJs than Carl Cox play in my living room so perhaps
you might try staying in more.
