And SCSI-9, Antonelli Electric and all those Russki bods - nice, deep and slow(ish)

I second that with strong favor - if you want to feel like you've got a thousand pounds of pressure pushing in on you, this CD will do the trick. I'll add just about anything on the Din and Toytronic label to this list of things to look for. And Monolake of course.

Obviously, the faster the music the higher the heart rate and there's the whole psycho-acoustic debate, which is really interesting IMO, in which there have been some studies showing that the way that some techno is produced (digital vs. analog) and how the ear/brain has to process it due to said production, lends itself to inducing anxiety/raised heart beat/fight or flight response basically, as well. Or just brain shutdown - meaning the brain can't process the sounds properly so you find your thoughts wandering away from the music instead of becoming absorbed by it. Maybe someone else on the list knows more about this? But hey, I think its like anything that raises the heart beat (strenuous exercise for example) too much isn't healthy, too little and you're a couch potato. Everything in moderation, right? From what I've heard 133bpm is supposed to be ideal. It'll keep a dance floor going all night. Anything faster and most people can't keep up no matter what age, anything slower the mind starts to wander if you are looking to dance. As for less banging techno, but that still has some forward momentum... -I second the motion on Scion's "Arrange and Process Basic Channel Tracks" - absolutely fantastic and the transition between track two and three never fails to make my body go freaky with joy. You'll want to move, but it won't induce heart attack! ;) -Also Tinkertoy "Transatlantic Love Machine" - good deep sounds, implications of beat without a banging kick, which finally moves into kick, but deep and rolling. Its a relaxing beat due to the rest of the atmosphere of the music. -Polmo Polpo "The Science of Breath"-also, deep, atmospheric, lush, but this beat that just rolls underneath. -And of course there's always Plastikman :) Erin -----Original Message----- From: Mann, Ravinder [CCS] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 28, 2003 10:18 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '313' Subject: RE: (313) techno/health to quote Robin. "i must be getting old, i like my techno a lot slower these days (yeah and i mean techno, not house)" Sorry if this is really boring but someone may have a view on this. Techno with its 120-130 bpm raises the heartbeat and Blood Pressure..yep Ive tried it with a moniter....listen to Det Esc Co or Urban Tribe and everything is down again. At 38 you need to think of these things : ) So is persistent exposure to fast bpms bad for your health ? Is it better to come home and not listen to techno to 'relax'. And keep it for the times you wanna feel hyped. Is there good slower techno out there that it not too 'noodly' and 'soft'.. I don't mind the harshness is more to do with the BPMs. Rav ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
