How did you find No Future?

[Loz]

Talking to Mr Jäger about S_C, we got onto the subject of how we found No Future. Which got me thinking about it. And then, thought of a brilliant typical weekend feelgood thread:

"How did you come here?" (part something or other, sure there's been threads like this in the past)

For me, it was after hearing It Won't Be Long on MTV. At the time I hated 'dance music', was all about guitars, but the bassline on this track, combined with the excellent video (who directed that, by the way?) really blew me away. After seeing it a couple of times, and remembering to note down the artist and track name, I went to the record shop, and bought a copy of Head On. I didn't like it, apart from It Won't Be Wrong, then I liked a couple of tracks, and eventually liked it all, and then loved it all. On the back, I saw the address of www.loaded-records.com and www.no-future.com. So went to them both, Loaded's site was crap, but No Future's seemed pretty cool. I bookmarked it, and visited it every week or so, signed up to the Ever Infrequent No Future/Erutufon Newsletter, and all was well. One of the issues of the newsletter told about a message board they'd just started. So of course, I went there, and started talking similar rubbish as I talk today.

The rest, as they say, is history.

in an underground room in uboot in august 2001(?), terrorsms told invisibleplanet to come here to find more info on fave electronic music producer cristian vogel, super_collider and good european techno.

[actionjetzon]

the url was written on several records
didn´t know really...could have been around 96/97, when no-future was just an information site with that great merchandise shop. its a shame the shop doesn´t exist anymore ;)

Came back around 00/01 after heared mister C in Hannover...will never forget the blue message board

[animal night train]

dunno, probably followed a link from Overload.

[c s]

tangent.demon.co.uk/nofuture or so, right? "cristian vogel likes to spend hundreds of pounds on computer games" or something like that... :D

[Tomoki]

I dont know really how I came into No future, but I visited the old site with the mailorder and all labels related to "nofuture " and one sudden day all became the blue message board and I thought, "whats this"?!. But it was really a challenge to post s.th.

[jukka]

aleks introduced me to emma on a party , after that weekend i visited the blue one first and instantly read my name there in a post, so i thought...hey why don't you just register here and say hello.

i remember beeing a really shy poster in the beginning, but turned out to be a spamming monster till today.
sometimes i really think i should post less crap then i do and not to spend so much time in front of my pc !

[KaOz]

im here since 1999/2000 or so.... dunno where i saw the link

[emef]

a friend gave me a bunch of techno links to check out when i first got online.

[mr_chombee]

eva cazal introduced me to the site. in the beginning I was just a spectator. did my 1st post then around 3 months or so before the blue board closed.

[Yer_Maw]

got the address on the test mail. lurked for a while before i actually started posting.

[wheezer]

first dropped by when it was the blue board, probably read about the place in another forum

[Ruben A]

Back in the blue-board-days I was "headhunted" to join the site by cristian himself! hahah
I knew about the site because I once seached for some information about mosquito.. but after cristians email - I started to write messages. :)

[aleks]

mr. alfa wrote it down on a piece of paper sometime in stammheim...

[Orang Utan]

It appeared to me in a vision

[V Knid esq]

I didn't find No Future, No Future found me. Behind some bins.

[Daddys Girl]

Much in the same way as Loz, actually.

MTV used to have a slot on Wednesday nights called "Alternative" from 00:00 till 01:00 am - I used to stay up and watch it, and By chance, I caught the Video for "It Won't Be Long" - pretty much transfixed by the heavy baseline of the song (and Jamie being covered in flies, which was kinda nasty...)

Put the album on a wishlist of ones that I wanted, and my best friend bought it for me fro Xmas in 1999.

I didn't come to this website though, until I chatted to Emma on Napster - I think I had 2 S_C files on my shared drive - I think P.M'ed her because she was about to d/l one of the tracks. Emma told me who she was - I was well impressed :) and then took the smart move to actually checking out the web-address in the album sleeve.

D_G ;o)

[tsr_tomas]

i´ve liked this music for as long as i can remember now. so i heard about this forum and joined, simple as that.


speaking of mtv, don´t people miss Simons days at mtv?
she talked with space djz, future, slam, dave clarke and other cool people at friday nights. those where the cool days.
then later thy would show Chillout soon.
they once play "303 skriker som grisar" that was really sweet. hihi.

(i might of slipped from the topic here).

T/Y....t.

[Orang Utan]

I didn't even realise that this site had anything to do with Christian Vogel for ages after I started posting on it - I just thought it was yet another electronic music forum - I lazily didn't really look at the rest of the site and only realised when I criticised Super Collider and got myself into a pickle for daring to say bad things about one of Vogel's projects - it was quite embarrassing really. Doh!

The Dancing Fly was so great, legs going in time with the music.

Orang - to be honest, I was sure you were a gimmick for the first couple of weeks you posted. Nice to finally meet you a couple of weeks ago, though!

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Koistie put me onto this one....

Correct me if I'm wrong (Please), but I think it was Dawn Shadforth, who directed the video...... ?

No worries - I should have done a bit of research before expressing my opinions in such a forthright manner - and I've just mis-spelt Mr Vogel's first name - oops:D

[FiST]

mister bob brown told me about it

[Penny]

i just saw/Heard! video of gigantictautalogicalmachinery and i fall
in love with those frequencys apearing everywhere : ]
got my first electronic music tape from CV,
it was "all music has come to an end" which still stays my best,
have found no-future.com on the cover.

[MUX]

i remember emma's yet so yet-so-popular infrequent email saying that they will be opening a bulletinboard, which i had joined on that same day.. erm.. so i guess i kinda been here forever..

regarding the sound itself.. i demanded to know what 'plastered cracks' after i had heard it dropped in a set..

ah well..

i feel ancient now..

[Loz]

you know, MUX, I was trying to think who's been here since the start. You, me.. er...

think Knid was around, C S.. anyone else?

[MUX]

and emef was around.. i fink..
but it was you me knid cs emma cristian and no one else i can remember

[Loz]

makes me feel incredibly old...

[Sheridan]

one dark and stormy night I was hudled over my computer determined to find websites for various techno artists/labels I was into. so I sat there and googled every name I could come up with. at one point I put in senor vogel's name and up poped a link for no-future. I checked it out. it was the blue board at the time and I registered but I watched for a while. like jukka I was shy about posting and sometimes I still am. but I found the conversations stimulating and the people interesting and so nice so I stuck around. although I haven't been around much as of late...

[tsr_fredrik]

well did check out this site from time to time when it was "the no-future possé site" info about the artists and stuff. then it turned out to be erutufon and info about S_C, and later a messageboard and I joined.

[Loz]

anyone else remember the shop? I can't remember much from that, apart from a blurry picture of emma in one of the No Data tshirts.

[MUX]

erm i do.. always wanted that red tshirt with the HUGE mosquito

[tania]

It was Chuck's fault!

[mlexicon]

[Mui]

COZ used to be a deadly program

or is it still on at a different time?

[animal night train]

mtv god rid of all the good shows, replaced them with just videos and no presenter. then never updated the playlist for about two years. nice one mtv! fannys. it used to be so good.

[penciLneck]

about a year or so ago, philie-t told me it was 'worth a refresh'.

[Lady E]

high praise indeed from phil!

[marcel]

can't recall from there i got the address from, but i guess i got it from a record.
first time came here around 98/99 i guess. back then it was the site with the shop iirc. and then came back january 2002 and was amazed by the board. yeah, i saw the last days of the blue board.
what else to add, im still here..thats the whole story

[mlexicon]

i found it in good hands

[zombie ritual]

It was pretty much at the beginning of the blue message board...I think I read the URL in de:bug or groove or in the internet, and as I was into Vogel's music since 1995 I had to check it out!

[r_v]

i think the first time i came here was in '98. i stumbled accross it while searching for info about the artists i was getting into at the time (vogel/landstrumm/schmidt). then, a while ago, i came back and discovered the forum, lurked for a while and then started posting. been here ever since.

[Mirsha]

Yer_maw told me about it on Soulseek.

[Paddy]

i started college and had a free broadband connection there, which turned me into a fledgeling net-freak, cos dial up used to piss me off , so i never really used the internet. i knew that eclairfi was on the board so i joined one day.

[Virus]

initially got the address off a record, used to read the site once in a blue moon when i was up in the edinburger, only started posting when i ran into Yer Maw at a party in London about a year ago (Kooks) , he told me to stop creeping about and start posting, so i did....

[bracket]

I have Karitek to thank for pointing me in this direction >

Ta! :)

[Sway]

I think toby (ccc) has told me something about this board...

thats a nice phrase:)

[Jeniffer Mills]

...Coincidence actually...I was so pissed off with other(German) forums `till my pal Michel(who worked at the labor club) told me"do`nt you know Cristian Vogel`s site?"
I went into the site and saw Jukkas avatar...And i knew, this will be fun!

It was the time when Cristian had a booking in one of my mates
clubs "labor" and cristian could`nt come `cos his records got nicked on the flight...
I could`nt beleive that happened, till i read the thread...

[aljones15]

along time ago a friend of mine in Miami was talking about doing a show with Jamie lidell so I came here to request promos. then my friend John turned out to be a regular poster.

[MUX]

yeah pencil's post makes me grin every time i re-read it..
it should be the sites motto..

[Marolo]

got the address off a a Trash record i think. Then realised quite a few people I knew were already members so decided to join, remaining anonymous for the first few weeks but then eventually the mask was uncovered

[JE:5]

I really can't remember how I found it, off google maybe.

[grobelaar]

Hawkins

[pille'ocheoni]

looking for an email address for the big stone cold. and found the board

[autorun]

i first read about nofuture in some article, it was long ago, then heard that board is set, started reading it and after about 3 months joined this community (exactly year ago, hehe :) )

[karitek]

as far as the music goes, jerome(WON'T DO IT) first exposed me to it - thanks!

as far as the site, i found it doing a search for something music related. it was right before the blue board ended, but i don't think i ever posted until the new board came out.

[Jamoid]

well, ive known about/lurked on nofuture for ages, because my robotic sister eclairfi posts here ...

recently her and mirsha convinced me to join ;)

[drop]

an article in xlr8r
or was it jockey slut
maybe....
it was in a magazine
it was really in a magazine

i promise

[7875]

i remember checking out the old purple board by typing in an address that was on Busca Invisibles. then, one day, it disappeared only to reappear as Erutufon.

[thetonewrecker]

Random web jumping like an electrified hopscotch game..

kapow. Ended up around here and liked what people had to say about many things.

[eclairfi]

found the web address on a piece of vinyl (i was only about 16 awww), checked it out and bookmarked it, i kinda forgot about it for a while then about 2 years later (2001) i revisited and found the blue forum which i liked the look of so i joined, didnt post much though..

[skosh]

i found it through eclairfi, bless her :D
