[fractionMan]

I wouldn't call them techno.

Dammit we've had this discussion

Good point

Yeah, alright, smartarse. I was there at the time, while you were still getting your mum to wipe your arse.

"I'm hip, I'm with it"

 

[fractionMan]

I'd argue that it was the first of its type and therefore a crossover between techno and "hard trance/nu energy"

And I was there at the time too

 

[Blagsta]

"I'm hip, I'm with it"

Well, not anymore I'm not. But I was 10 years ago.

So was I.. I had an Eclipse jacket with XTC written in big letters across the back

squat rock - shaft punk - possibly the most twisted acid techno tune ever....

I have some really good tapes from '93-'94 that are hard trance and techno mixed together from the legendary Diehard rave in Leicester. You could get away with it then when trance was decent.

Nexus 6 - Tres Chic and Climax - Relax (mental mix) are other good ones from that era.

 

[Wintermute]

Cygnus X - The Orange Theme
Chosen Few - The Break
Nasenbluten - Race Against Time
Predator & Wedlock - Get On Down
Lenny Dee & DJ Edge - Silence Of Eternity


Fuck all this acid techno purist bollocks - proper techno should make your teeth vibrate

 

[Blagsta]

If we are talking old gabber and hardcore then

Juggernaut - World Of The LSD User
Spy - Bloodstrike (what the hell happened with John Selway?)
Mescalinum United - We Have Arrived
Genetic Waste - Genetic Waste
Turbulence - The Home Of The Sick

 

[blossie33]

Wish I could name my five favourites but as I don't buy vinyl anymore I hardly ever know the names of the artists or titles
However two tunes I love (and DO know the names of) are Knights of the Jaguar (old Detroit tune) and Murder is the Bass.

 

[fractionMan]

Lenny Dee & DJ Edge - Silence Of Eternity

Is that the one with a thunderstome kinda thingamy at the start. Kerchooow chooo choo etc wtf lol?

uses the sample 'silence of eternity' half way through the track (funnily enough)

 

[dtb]

as for a top 5, there's too many to choose from + too many in each sub-genre e.g. top 5 rave/acid/belgian/hardcore/detroit etc... but would probably contain at least 2 by The Mover

 

[Wintermute]

Kerchooow chooo choo etc wtf lol?

... is almost exactly how I'd have described it The only tune ever AFAIK to feature a foghorn solo halfway through.

The first rebirth - jones and stephenson

I'd forgotten that. I never even knew its name. Fucking choon

 

[hiccup]

Yeah, knights of the Jaguar for sure.

And Positive Education

And something by Laurent Garnier I can't remember the name of. The one with Sore Hands on the B side.

And Some Dave Clark stuff too.

God my memory is fucked.

I was listening to the first Eye Q compilation behind the eye yesterday. It was all pretty good in the sunshine and reminded me a lot of blue room parties on the beach in brighton....is this techno? kinda bubbly proto trance? who knows/cares. Vernon's - Wanderer and Goahead - freebeach were nice....also a nice mix of cafe del mar.

Most of the techno I like isnt really pure stuff but where it merges into house like Slam/silicolne soul etc. Carl Craig's paperclip people etc.

There are some goodies on the first few trans europe express comps as well.

 

[hiccup]

Stompaphunk - the crowd seems to... - does that count as techno?
