Well it was christmas time.have i?
nah, that's ok i suppose. i think it's the drum beat in techno i may not like. it always sounds so *doof doof doof doof* with no variation, or breaks.
unless i'm wrong of course!
still not sure i know what techno is..
There's a lot more to techno than just *doof doof doof doof*, try Jeff Mills - Exhibitionist

that looks very clever but i couldn't dance to it.
it just doesn't speak to me maaan. i sometimes (when i'm being particularly wanky) think bodies are atuned to different sounds. my body would not respond to that. and my head would hurt. it is already tbh 
horses for courses though innit. techno obviously just isn't my sound.
and sleaterkinney - that does sound doof doof doof doof to me. one beat you see. i like the beat to change i suppose.

If it changed all the time, it'd be hard to listen to. Anyway, a full Surgeon set will have a variety of beats and tempos.

I dunno the last one there, but I'm sure they won't mind me saying that, whilst they play excellent records and are thoroughly nice chaps, Surgeon is leagues ahead of them in what he does. Jerome has the mad deck skills that Surgeon has though.

but i like dance music that changes tempo etc. i'll take your word for it OU and perhaps borrow some Surgeon to listen to properly
live youtube clips aren't the best way of sussing a sound my mate just rang up and i was chatting bout this and he said no wonder i don't get techno - it's the 'intelligent person's' dance music.

Listen to the more funkier melodic side of Detroit techno. Red Planet, UR etc.
ah, seems to have gone
try this one

I was there and it was one of the best sets I've ever heard

Go to Mixes DB and search for Surgeon. For recorded output, check out the Force & Form LP, plus anything he's recorded on Dynamic Tension, Counterbalance or Downwards. His Basic Tonal Vocabulary LP is also ace. As for individual tracks, early tracks such as Badger Bite and Magneze are techno floorfilling classics, but later stuff such as Whose Bad Hand Are These? are ace too - also check his stuff with Regis as British Murder Boys. Then there's his remixes....
But to get a good idea of what he's about, it's the mixes/DJ sets you want to listen to, such as the Glade one Jeff posted, Food For Thought (my favourite), Neck Face, For Dog Faces Only (can be found on spannered.org), his Sequence set and his Werk set - all can be found easily on tinteweb.

IMO it's music designed for a dancefloor, and in that regard it just dosen't do it for me, it dosen't flow or build. Just as soon as one bit gets going he cuts to something else or drops bleepy noisy shit on top.
It's the sort of stuff I could have on in the background, or whilst on a pill at home after a night out, nothing more.
