Just listening to this now.Monkeygrinder's Organ said:The top one here - Surgeon at the Glade festival.
I'm enjoying it - it's interesting, but I'm sitting down at home. Woe betide anyone playing this kind of techno when I want to dance

chico enrico said:aha! Surgeon's the lad who drops Whitehouse tracks in his sets, ain't he? Cool!![]()

Skim said:He was playing quite minimal stuff. Sometimes minimal can be a bit weedy, but I liked his set a lot![]()
Ok, I'm completely rubbish at genres but whenever I've heard someone say such-and-such is minimal techno, it's been music that has made me want to slit my wrists, but I really liked his set. It banged!

Well admittedly I am now tapping my footOrang Utan said:It's pure dancefloor music - nothing gets me dancing more than that kind of stuff!
but it's neither bouncy nor hard enough for me. Hey ho
Will do. TaSkim said:Yeah, some of it just plods along and doesn't have enough going on. But then you get some tracks which are quite minimal but have a nice meaty kick drum to keep you dancing
There was a fantastic white label out last year called Erotic Discourse which is really minimal, but works so well:

You mean it's not fast enough. It's hard alright!Mation said:Well admittedly I am now tapping my footbut it's neither bouncy nor hard enough for me.
No I did mean hard enough (for me, natch).Orang Utan said:You mean it's not fast enough. It's hard alright!

haha... i love all those techno reords with ridiculously meaningless titles, like they've just closed their eyes and stuck a pin in two words from a dictionary. Stephen brown's releases on Transmat are the eopch of this.
like all those dire old second wave of punk bands with names like 'Chaotic Distemper' etc.![]()
