Techno Anyone?

[TwilightRealm]

Who here likes techno? I know I'm starting to get more into it. Dj Tiesto and Benny Benasi are pretty amazing and of course Daft Punk. What are some of your guys's favs? Im trying to find some more. Prodigy is good too but they're a bit strange.

[Archetype_Zero]

I'm not wild about actual techno, but i like some ambient, and one darkwave band/group/whatever they are, called Velvet Acid Christ. The Ambient stuff i like is Tribes of Neurot (a side project by all the members of the atmospheric metal band Neurosis) and Akira Yamaoka (Silent hill soundtracks)

I also like most of the remixes Fear Factory does of their own stuff, which is sometimes techno, but sometimes not. (if interested, their best cd is called "Remanufacture" and there's a short but good one called "Fear is the Mindkiller") However i'd only recomend those if you like Fear Factory's regular stuff

[Siaynoq]

I guess I like its more laid back version referred to sometimes as electronica. But that fast paced techno stuff I really don't care for. And to be honest, I thought that music died back in the 90's.

[-Mephisto's Lament-]

The closest that I listen to are Ministry.

[ARMORz]

I love Basshunter and German techno/trance and a good internet radio station is

:thumbsup:


Germany / trance / TechnoBase.FM live streaming (http://delicast.com/radio/Germany/trance/TechnoBase.FM) sorry it got messy

[Siaynoq]

The closest that I listen to are Ministry.Ministry was a great band. Jesus Built My Hotrod!

They were considered industrial weren't they?

[tkrow21]

I consider DJ Tiesto's music quite linear, though his slow stuff can be developed pretty well.

[Rykker]

I listen to it every so often, or at least one of the eleventy-seven gamillion sub-genres, anyway.

I have a couple-few songs by Combichrist (God Wrapped in Plastic, This Shit Will Fuck You Up, This is My RIfle) on my iPod. I think they're labeled aggrotech, which is a subset of Industrial, I think?

I also managed to track down the full track of the electro (Hip Hop Be Bop) that Shaun and Ed were jammin' to in that one scene in Shaun of the Dead.

[-Mephisto's Lament-]

Industrial..Electronica, whichever.

[Horny Goatman]

Not really Techno, but I like trance. Pounding sound give me headace...I like vocal more, lol I don't actually listen to any one band. I'm all into variety of music except country and hard rock. I like to change what kind of music I listen to once in a while.

[-Mephisto's Lament-]

Trance has a lot of pounding.

[Horny Goatman]

But also have volcal where as Techno have no vocal at all.

[Switch]

well, not much of a techno fan...but i can name a few.

Chemical Brothers (not really techno but hell....)
Faithless (same as above)
Snarph
Atari teenage riot
massive attack (realy good)
aphex twin
crystal method
Dieselboy ( D&B)

[kefka666333abc123]

Im into metal mostly but i LOVE techno...to bad i only hear the shit but nvr know the names of the damm songs :S

[akse]

Jej I also like a lot of electronic music.

I think it started when my big brother used to listen that all kind of crappy euro pop/dance at the 90's. E-Type, Scooter etc. I kinda liked those back then and then I moved on to some other kind of music as did my brother.

Techno, Trance, Vocal Trance were probably the first ones.
Listened some Ministry of Sound sessions, Paul van dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Dj Tiesto, Armin van Buuren etc.

Then I moved on to some harder Hard Trance, Hard Tech Dance, Freeform etc. And after a while of that I came back to chilling with some house, vocal trance etc.

Then moved on to psychedelic and goa which I still listen the most.

[dub Lucifer]

few of the trancy tracks I like....

MSI - "Never Wanted to Dance (Electro Hurtz remix)"

Faithless - "Woozy"

Da Rude - "ecstasy"

The Prodigy - "Warning"'

[Themeros]

Juno Reactor.

[Jigsaw]

No necroing please, I like your avatar.

[JAZZ]

I realize this thread is old, but I just want to say

bidibodi bidibu - Bubbles

greatest techno ever =]

[EventfulHoryzon]

Tiesto, Squarepusher, Dieselboy, Venetian Snares, and Juno Reactor rule. (They aren't at all related, except under the umbrella of "Electronic" music)

[3CXOD]

Whatever floats your boat.

[Equinox]

I don't recognize techno as a genre much. I do like the kind of music that is sometimes encountered in "techno", though. I mean, Lucifer is completely synthesized but I don't remember anyone ever calling it techno.

[Chaosdragon94]

UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE... ugh...

Here's what I think of techno/trance/rave. http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Comics/Matt/UNCE-UNCE-UNCE.png

[3CXOD]

Cyanide and Happiness! lmao
I really don't like Techno... some Techno that has lyrics - Well, let's just say the lyrics could've been put to better use.

I really hate the ones that say the same few words over and over again.

[Chaosdragon94]

I really hate the ones that say the same few words over and over again.Yeah... my bro listens to this one techno song that constantly says "bitch suck my 12 inch", it's annoying and stupid. It's not even funny.

[sanctus]

Oh man a thread about electronica, I thought I'd never see the day.

If we're going to talk about sub genres, then I enjoy Breakbeats and Goa Psy Trance.

The Crystal Method
Prodigy
Juno Reactor
Infected Mushroom
Paul Oakenfold
Dave London
Miditec
Vibe Tribe
X-Noize
DJ Kayden
Groove Diggerz
LAZRtag

There's lots more but the names escape me. I need to check my Trackitdown.net account.

Here's some resources for those interested.

http://www.di.fm/
internet radio, has all the electronic stations you could ask for. They release new channels every now and then.

http://www.trackitdown.net/
in my opinion, the #1 place to buy electronic music. You can sample groups/songs/albums before you buy. You can pay per song if you only want a couple, or you can buy the entire album (as a digital download). They usually don't stock commercial success groups such as The Crystal Method or DJ Tiesto, but I have seen Prodigy on there before. This is a great place to discover new artists.

This is sort of out of the blue, but i'm currenty addicted to the song in the new Lincoln MKZ commercial.

It's called Major Tom, I believe it's a cover of a David Bowie song, by a group called Shiny Toy Guns. You can download it for free (and legally) here:

[reform]

[Jeru5]

The Prodigy is legends they play mix of drum n bass techno and dance music. best music for rave parties.

[Asynchronic]

Some of my favorites..

Tiesto
Deep Dish
Armin van Buren
David Guetta
Ferry Corsten
Gabriel and Dresden
Paul Okenfold
Paul van Dyk

I like some of these too, I'll have to check out the others. I also like the bands who play techno-esque music. The New Deal, Disco Biscuits, Thievery Corporation. I have more respect for them too, takes more talent to produce the music.

[tkrow21]

I like most Drum N' Bass.
