drexciya = solid stuff, but owing very much to the early detroit (juan atkins) sound ... to a degree that it can almost be called derivative.

also i had the impression his output is very hit or miss: you have some quality tunes, but at least as much worthless filler material.

lol @ reeno for comparing himself to newcleus. NOBODY making electro today is even close to them.

no lol @ some of you guys turning this thread into a playground for your personal animosities.

as far as i can say, the only difference is that the vocal version has some nice vocoderized bits of "ET" thrown in from time to time.

i really like that the song is going nowhere. imo, beat & bass alone can support the five minutes (i'm a real nerd when it comes to bass, and this one sounds so natural, rugged & raw and it is playing such a simple melody ... beautiful). it's not a pop song, but rather an extended groove with some real nice plashy, twiddly sounds going on.

i would even compare it to an all-time favorite of mine: project future - ray gun omics ... they both perfected that roboty, choppy, staccato-like feel.

what a tune!!!

listening to it right now.

@aitchski: i like it to get ideologic about music.

two more jams off "no parking ...":

no parking on the dance floor:

then there is the planetary invasion lp ... i just had to post the whole lp, it's SO good:

here's a later track that i like - snake in the grass:

that's all i know - lloyd, please take over.

aitchski: i HAVE to defend this as i am a big midnight star fan.
listen to freak-a-zoid, the lp version. the beat is incredible - you have this BIG groove plus a whole lot of subtle, complex stuff that's going on without you realizing at first ... just listen to it a few times in a row and you will notice some percussion here, some zippy zaps there ... just pure GENIUS.

yes, it was used in another movie ... i even found the part where it played in the background, plus it was released on vinyl on the OST.
i cannot remember which movie it was, but i'll check and get back to you.

edit: found it ... "burn" is supposed to be on this album:

couldn't believe my eyes!

check out the beginning of freakazoid - IN-CREDIBLE:

i just had to watch it at least 5 times in a row when i first found it.

thank you sir!
as always, your musical taste can be trusted.

i sped it up a little bit .. sounds much better this way and should be easier to recognize:

re: breakin & enterin

there's this obscure piece of information on wikipedia about the movie breakin':

Quote

The film setting was inspired by a German documentary entitled Breakin' and Enterin'

why would it be a GERMAN documentary?
any infos on this?

p.s. and i am still DESPERATELY looking for the dupont songs used in that movie ... at least one of those was released on vinyl.

worst. hippie. shit. ever.

oh, i am now officially allowed to swear? very nice indeed.

looks very promising.

as for techno, i would say it's a 50:50 split between kraftwerk and manuel goettsching concerning the question who invented it.

btw. has anyone ever heard any pre-autobahn / organisation material?
--> worst. hippie. shit. ever.

definitely a sound of his own and not just a nostalgic rehash. not sure yet if i like it, but maybe it will grow on me.

... or whatever you might call it:

this is taken from oshh, but the tune is more in the EE domain.

street dance - top tune!

the bassline, the groove ... far ahead of other stuff that's considered "true" electro.

this is a short snippet taken from cyne's starship utopia ... i'm not sure if it is sampled though, since they write a good part of their music themselves. but it sounds SO vintage.
any guesses?

btw.,check out cyne's 2008 album, starship utopia ... it's pretty good. real hip hop, my man.

prime dominance - theme of swift rock
imatran voima - der aufklärung
scape one - retropolitan (düsseldorf)
mandroid - sinister overtones
chromeo - 100%

edit: almost forgot randy barracuda - squee like a pig

i am going to take back chromeo ... their album gets boring after a while.

new addition: gosub - watchers from the black universe

i like the music. the track could have done without that sample, but the music is great!
