It's great to see everyone's picks . . . reminds me of how many holes I've still got in my collection. Here are my spine tinglers:
Stacey Pullen "Vertigo" (what's he been up to lately?) Drexciya "Aquaticism" (that vocal . . . spooky) Manuel Gottsching "e2-e4" (when the guitar finally comes in after 35 minutes) Laurent Garnier "Greed (Fabrice Lig remix)" Savvas Ysatis "Highrise" (it's so crisp, and doesn't suffer from the sterility present in much of what gets called deep tech-house) Basic Channel "Radiance III (edit)" (spending a lot of time in the barren expanses of the American West, one acquires an appreciable awareness of their position on a planetary scale. For me, Basic Channel was always the perfect musical accompaniment for that feeling of isolation and and distant grandeur) And it's not really techno, but there's an old track (mid-70s) done by an academic electronic musican named Laurie Spiegel . . . "Appalachian Grove" I think it's called . . . it's really gorgeous. Definitely the inspiration for the layered sine wave melody I wrote for "hold": http://www.bprince.com/BrianPrinceHoldPreview.mp3 Here's her web page: http://retiary.org/ls/index.html ------------- Brian "balistic" Prince http://www.bprince.com - art and techno Strokes of Defiance EP . . . soon.
