 but I'd like to ask others - who do you rank up there and *what tracks* are
 your favorite or rank up in the top programmed drums?

My vote is:

Hardfloor - Acpierence. The hi hats sound a lot like an oooh-ahhh synth.
Amazing.

For 80s stuff, I like a lot the drum breaks part of New Order's Bizarre Love
Triangle (Substance mix). Anyone knows who remixed it?

 I
 never liked Depeche Mode as much but *every* electronic musician will
 namecheck them. 
 
 man, ive liked depeche mode for long enough that i cant remember
 first hearing about them. and to this day the music for the
 masses - violator back to back is about as good as it gets by
 any artist. 

I think that Violator is a masterpiece. The best album from DM, in my
opinion. It has a very Kraftwerk-like sound, especially Policy of Truth
and the final sequence of Personal Jesus. And the sound engeneering on
that album is amazing, for the ones who dig such thing. The bass drums had a
unique analog texture, but yet sounds a lot like our well known TR-808. The
bass lines and synth arrangements are very analog too.

 the end part of PJ is so off the charts. i just play it over and
 over again when im in my car. its unbelivably static yet still
 funky. the part where the drums drop out and come back in is so
 simple and so effective.

I love the way PJ is not the straight foward 4/4 beat but a triplet 4
divided by 6 one. I have this Razormaid Remix that has the Kraftwerk-like
arrangement of the final sequence in the original version, all over the
entire remix. I bet you will like it.

This post is a bit old, but...

I've always thought that the intro of a track in Red Planet 6 (I don't
remember which one) reminded me so much of the Perfect Kiss remixed
version that appears on Substance.

Hallo!

This whole new order thread reminded me of something I once read in the FAQ
section of the 313 mailing list at Hyperreal:

 The MI, through Derrick, brought a European vibe to our city, something that
 there never was before. Before, we were just a bunch of middle-class black
 kids who read The Face and GQ and Melody Maker and dreamt about what London or
 New York would be like; now ABC and Depeche Mode came to the MI in its heyday
 to witness the relentless Mayday at work, and to hang out with us. Real Brits
 ! Real accents ! In our club !

So, the question is: Depeche Mode and Detroit techno has something to do?
We've read a lot of comments about New Order already. And how 'bout DM?

I'm very curious to know what you guys think about that.

 Hi,
 
 this question was probably asked a couple of times allready on this list...
 well... then once more.
 
 Can someone please tell me how important new order was for the development
 of techno? What do the detroit guys think of new order? how did it influence
 what they were doing?
 
 Can I find some information on the net covering the link between new order
 and detroit techno?
 And what new order albums should I buy as an introduction to the band?

 why does everyone think that the first electronic album was severely
 underrated ? getting away with it was a hit wasn't it ? i seem to remember
 the album got a fair bit of attention when it was released. it is very good
 anyway - 'try all you want' is wonderful, lovely synths, beautiful 909 hi
 hat programming :^)

The 808 State remix for Disappointed is very interesting as well. It has the
Neil Tennant classic voice and melody mixed with the early 90's drum machine
and bass lines from 808 hits like Pacific 202.

I've always have my Electronic album in vinyl, and this week I've noticed
that in the CD version it has an extra track: Gangster. I've already
listened to the Gangster (FBI Remix), which appears as a B-Side on the
Disappointed single: lots of orchestra hits, sound a little bit like Tighten
Up. But how it sounds the original version. Is it nice?

Thanks!

Re: (313) electro house is taking over (maybe not just in OZ)

I couldn't help overreading this thread. :)

I'm a music producer and my project, which is called Two divided by zero, is
somewhat about this electro-house thread. It mixes up electro, techno and a
lot of 80's electronic pop stuff.

I sincerely would like to know what you guys would think about it. If you
care to listen and comment here is the url:
