AggieDave 6 #28 January 14, 2005 QuoteI hate when people call it "techno...that's so limiting) I don't think so. Look at the history of electronic music, back to the 1940s and such, and then you'll appreciate the techno label.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Frenchy68 0 #29 January 14, 2005 Quote(I hate when people call it "techno...that's so limiting) Very true. Techno is only one "branch" of Electronic music.

windcatcher 0 #30 January 14, 2005 oouuu, oouu, I wanna play! One of the coolest techno songs is the remix of one of the songs off Braveheart . But then again, I haven't listened to too much techno, so that's not saying much Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dougiefresh 0 #32 January 14, 2005 I've gotta second the salmonella dub vote. That stuff rules. I never liked techno or its varied spinoffs until I started skydiving and heard it on all those phat-ass vids. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And before long you are probably gonna get some post about how we american's refer it all as Techno, when it is really dance, trance, rave, progressive house, etc. But yeah...I call it techno too.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

lawrocket 3 #37 January 14, 2005 I'm not a fan of techno. Fuck around on the computer for 3/4 of a second to generate a beat in 2/4 time. Loop it over and over. Add sound effects. Turn it up to 11. The end. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hexadecimal 0 #39 January 14, 2005 QuoteGo back to the old classics: Paul Oakenfold Pete Tong Paul Van Dyke Timo Maas All the "Essential" selections... These I consider the "old" basics...

If it's so easy, I challenge you to produce a track. Also... if you think of it like that, you've obviously been listening to some pretty shitty electronic music to draw your conclusion from. I don't like certain genres of music either, but I can still differentiate between tracks that require talent and tracks that do not. Even if you just don't like electronic music, you'd have to be pretty ignorant to make a comment like you just made about it.

I disagree on BT though... he's quite a hack himself as of lately. I've also never seen him as the father of anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites hexadecimal 0 #42 January 14, 2005 If anyone is at all interested, you can go listen to a track that myself and a friend (who is also on this board... though I'm not sure if he reads it at all anymore) produced last year. It's a bit far from my usual style (I produce IDM, electro, and some other things... this track is more house/trancy type stuff). Here's a link to the track. http://www.djseneca.com/sixthgear_80w.m3u Note: track is in "DJ friendly" format, so you might have to fast forward a bit through the mix friendly intro, and the end is long for the same reason.
