[Tec]

You don't know nuffink man, good techno ain't boring..

[Phil]

im being serious, i find it the dullest form of music ever.

[Orang Utan]

Some of it is boring, but some of the Ravey Davey stuff you have a penchant for is boring too.

[Phil]

ravey davey? wot r u chatting about.

[Dask]

At least the Ravey Davey stuff does what it says on the tin. ;)

Alot of techo I've heard recently just makes me just think what the fuck is the point in doing this anymore?

[Orang Utan]

You know, all the Ceephax Acid type stuff all your very good scarf-wearing friends play

[Phil]

He loves the ravey gravey really...He also likes a bit of flatulant house too...

Everything in moderation. :)

Yep. Acid monday to saturday sprinkled with hiphop, jungle and meeow core.

[big raff]

all machine made music is techno

[Dask]

Techno when on point in a large warehouse/hanger/main room can rock it out like no other form of music can.

But shit acid techno is the worst form of techno going so not all acid techno is wicked, listen to routemaster and stay up forever records you'll see what I mean

[Phil]

Lovers acid - vibert - proper.

[Orang Utan]

Acid techno is the Status Quo of dance music.

[big raff]

yeah. lovers acid is the fucking mulligatawny

[Yer_Maw]

i hate about 99% of techno but the 1% thats catches my ear and i think is amazing, i absolutly love.

[Phil]

Im not talking the liberators fucking shit london acid techno im tlaking proper acid..orang,, have u just got into music recently or something??

[Tec]

Yeah that album is proper for sure, have to echo big raff's comments that its all techno..one way or another.

Shit music can be found in all genres. Even the pringle sweater massif make shit music now and agin.

Don't hate techno Phil, its a state of mind and one you have to feel when entering the bubble vortex of ever-expanding time.

Surely hearing techno you don't like should have the opposite effect, i.e. go and write something that IS good...

[Phil]

Mate, i was there in 87 mate. how u like that?

[Phil]

alright tec, name me 5 techno records from this year which are the utter bollox

[Tec]

I don't really get inspired like that though, I'd rather listen to something that gives me inspiration in the first place than something that I don't like and think "I can do it better than this."

It's down to personal preference.

Can acid house/chicago rekkids count in my 5?

no they cant, because thats not techno in my books..I love acid house and some chicargo stuff. im talking about all that gypo techno, that makes u feel like your on Ketamine in a squat rave

[Dask]

Don't think that Krax volume1 and 2 are Techno tec. :)

[Dask]

That Marco Passarani LP on Peacefrog is pretty good.

Does that count as Techno?

[Lighter Thief]

I find all that acid nonsense far more tedious than techno to be honest.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

I guess it is all about what you define as techno. In my world, techno is not boring.

[gypsy_cream]

storm drain is techno

[Lighter Thief]

That you think anything made with a 303 is original.

[bitch one]

techno is the most boring, annoying music in the world when you don't want to be listening to it.

when you do want to listen to it, tho, it's great.

[gypsy_cream]

techno i listen to and buy ainty boring to mee

[Tec]

Not strictly gypo-k-lovin' techno...but decent tunage from the early era of the techno scene.

Model 500 - Night Drive (1985)
Model 500 - No UFO's (1985)
Rhythim is Rhythim - Nude Photo (1987)
Innercity - Work Your Body (1987)
Blake Baxter - When We Used To Play (1988)

[Phil]

[Phil]

cristian should do a 12" Acid Ep, that would be the bollox with his high resolution production skills. cristian, can you do this?

[gypsy_cream]

nice one, lookin forward to hearin it

[Ava]

there's a track on the novamute kompilation 2005 that is pretty cool, i think it's off the next album, makes me look forward to it at least

as my friend Bruce says

"all roads lead to techno"

[pongoid]

It's all techno, good bad, boring, bangin and otherwise. Cept house, that is. However, they're both pretty much 909 and 808 based stuff, so it's all still pretty much the same, being loop-based electronic music. Fuckin esoterics.

"Yeah, man Acid the business, the rest of it's shit!" Fuckin boring mate. Come up with better topics. You were doing better with threads about crisps.

[thembuzz]

actually, i'm a little disturbed to see 303s and 909s still provoking so much discussion. this is 2005, innit?

[Loz]

the 303 is a great sound, though

if not horribly clichéd now

[Phil]

and what? people still play the guitar dont they? There timeless peices mate.

Hehehe...Nice point Will.

To the topic, techno boring? Nah..Even after 15 years , it`s not boring at all to me.. I must admit though that the "big hype" is over and there`s more space in my mind for other music (well allways has been) but maybe while gettin older techno does`nt rank THAT high as it used to.
Nevertheless, i still enjoy the parties and still can dance my ass off to it. AND i think techno still has such a wide spectrum to classify it as "interesting"...

I might sound cheesy, but "techno" is more than music to me, it`s still a state of mind.....

[Phil]

i was only joking anyway .. i love techno. Ever since Nude Photo Ive been hooked.

[penciLneck]

*cough*bollocks*cough*

[Phil]

nah i do hate it really, its shit.

[Jeniffer Mills]

ahh.. i just changed my mind too...boring.....

[stinkfinger]

i've worked in record shops for 8 years, and every day i find something in techno/ electronic music which keeps me buzzing. so no way is it boring to me. i live for that shit man...

[dtmbass]

too much looping really gets to me though

[JE:5]

Hello dtmbass ;)

That's always been my point whenever people say the 303 is dead or whatever. How long has the guitar been around for now? It's only got so many frets and strings... It's what you do with it that counts, and unfortunately, when you mention acid techno to people these days they immediately think borecore liberator stuff. Public energy three'o'three, that's real acid techno.

Originally posted by Katie

yeah, and i ain't too impressed with that, either. even though i play guitar

seriously, though, the 303 is just one variation on a theme. you can make a lot of synths do the same job, and at least it'll sound different

anyway, i'm just bitching. on a bit of an anti-synth tip at the moment. for me it's all about the samples

[gypsy_cream]

how can you hate synths D:

[thembuzz]

i don't hate them. i'm just a bit bored with them right now. ask me again in a month and i'll be saying the exact opposite. fuck samples, mate, blah blah, and another thing...

[[sik]]

techno aint music.

[mim]

I would say it's the pure essence of music, but I've recently fallen in love with it (not for the first time)

[mim]

Glad you're not that radical ;)


edit: and I mean [sik]'s post before editing, not him not being in love with techno. Uff... :!

[love_tempo]

If you get fixated on a sub-genre (e.g. Acid) and ignore others (e.g. 'Techno') you will miss the most of the great releases and your record collection will suffer.

Then you will end up going through a circa-2005 era techno obsession around 2015 and end up paying €300 for some of the 12's mentioned above. And a lot of your acid records will be worth nothing!

[Phil]
