I wish I could understand why so many techno heads don't like house 
That's prog house - trance for grown ups (and just as shit)
Well I liked it. So there.
Although that was then. hmmm wonder. *rummages around dusty old cassette box. Pangs of embarrassment as finds such quality compilations as. This is Hardcore. Hard Leaders 3. And Breaks bass and Bleeps*

i dunno - most people who're into detroit are happy with a bit of house...Orang Utan said:I wish I could understand why so many techno heads don't like house
i think it depends how you got into dance music though, myself - for a lot of us, it was a natural journey, starting at house music through rave, techno & harder stuff.
for others, they went straight from guitar music to acid techno/d&b etc (usually after being dragged out and having some drugs forced down their necks)... those in the second camp are less likely to be lovers of house music, as it's never been part of their musical palate?

that's it really - the technoheads who don't like house are into the agressive shit... them as do are into the smoother, detroit end of the spectrum.
simple really (though, i suspect, not universal).
i'd challenge anyone who claims to dislike house music to go and see, say, doc martin, francois k or MAW djing and come away without having a cracking night...
I like the whole spectrum of house, the whole spectrum of techno *and* happy hardcore.

Man with my tastes re house...Terry Lee Brown Jr used to be one of my favourite artists also most things on Drop Music are are great (at least they used to be before I stopped buying). see also most stuff on the US guidance label (for a more garagey vocal tinge).
And cant believe no-one has quoted the sample used by Eddie Amador in 'House music'
'......Not everyone understands House music; it's a spiritual thing; a body thing; a soul thing....'
I think that says it all re my feelings

When you've nearly filled your card and the caller shouts out your last number, that's "house".

It seems to me that no-one listens to hard dance (I'm referring to everything from hard house to acid techno, you know, all the shit stuff
), they just dance to it. And that's the difference to me.My first love in dance music terms was trance, around about 1998. Then I got into Sasha and Oakenfold (before Oakenfold went really shit). Never dropped, but went to quite a few nights. Last real one was at Gatecrasher Summer Sound System in 2001, when Sasha played a two hour set that was astonishing.
I have great fun at drum and bass nights now, but for the 17 year old kid that I was, nothing will beat the moment when the bassline to a massive xpress2 tune kicks in with vocals going over the top, or Xpander with 8000 people going absolutely mental.

Not to mention "Music is the answer to your problems, keep on moving then you can solve them", Danny Tenaglia I think.saucisson said:Man with my tastes re house...Terry Lee Brown Jr used to be one of my favourite artists also most things on Drop Music are are great (at least they used to be before I stopped buying). see also most stuff on the US guidance label (for a more garagey vocal tinge).

One of the unexpected benefits of an encyclopedic knowledge of trance music circa 1999 was winning free drinks in a shit club in Cambridge once by recognising the riff to 'Art of Trance - Madagascar' when nobody else in the club had the faintest idea. Heh.

(yes it is Tenaglia - although is he referring to music in general or specifically house music?...we must be told. DJ Hell is more specific in 1992 he did 'my definition of house music'.)
I could probably do 'name that tune' that for most house music 1988-2002 (and a lot of other genres of music as well to be honest...eek nerd alert).
Not sure its a very useful skill to have now though...unless you work at hard to find records or something
....I was reading something about men/trainspotting (of all sorts) the other day...and identified with its explanation about our desire to find one small aspect of life that we can we can limit absolute control over....most women do not feel the need to obsessively know/list/collect/rant forth about music.
