I have an old Fischer Price portable  vinyl player. That
thing is still the bomb, except when playing 12" records,
it gets a little sketchy as the vinyl rubs up against the
tone arm post..

> - Flourescence EP by Space Time Continuum
Well, there are two techno-ish tracks on this album, and two
mello ambient tunes which are simply timeless. Other
recommendations on the Reflective label are Reaganz (highly
unique yet annoying techno/idm) and Single Cell Orchestra
(with some AWESOME ambient breaks and some harsh
techno/idm). There is one thing about the reflective
releases, it that they are out of print and very hard to
find. Oh, for the spotters: the holographic imprint on one
side of the Flourescence release was a series of paperclip
images.
Also on the STC kick, IMO Flourescene made up for the
collaboration with Terrence McKenna, which to this day I
find to be absolute nonesense. The music was good, the
chitter about glass pipes and dmt and mckenna's leading the
rave trip... well, one would have to hear it. Brutal.

Namlook - Music for Ballet (1994 - Fax germany)

Peter Namlook produced a cd of music created by ballet
dancers. The dancers would dance through beams of light on
stage, which then would trigger a tone or sound. Its a neat
CD, not overly dramatic in nature.

Hey Cyclone's obscure question for the day

Does anyone know of any ballet (or dance) productions that
may have been based on techno (or electronic music, per se).
I know Laurent Garnier did something in Paris, I can't
remember its name. I am interested in compiling a list.
Apparently the Australian Ballet performed X, a ballet based
ontribal drum patterns a while ago.

I figure it would be an interesting concept. I can imagine
May's music being used, Mills' more introspective material,
some of Hawtin's more downtempo material, Carl's... It would
be interesting to use the faster stuff too as it would force
the dancers to move differently. Plus as much as we hate on
ravers some of those kids can dance really well! I wonder
how it would work to use some of those movements in a
contemporary dance/ballet production. It would use introduce
the music to new listeners, too. It must have been done
somewhere!!

2001-07-26 Thread dan robitaille
If one looks under ghetto tech, it lists that style as the
"greatest in the world." ghetto tech artists tend to be
based in detroit. I like the choice Ishkur uses for the
background sample... DJ Assault's Ass n' Titties. Detroit
city music at its best for sure! How come there isnt more
discussion on this list of Assault or Godfather?

Just found this site, and laughed my bloody head off.

I especially like the description of techno: "Techno is the
depressing, gritty dystopian genre.  But what it lacks in
soul, it more than makes up in purity of sound and a
mythology so romantic it can't possibly figure out what to
do with itself."

I also like how Detroit techno stems from Classic techno,
and how the "bangin' techno eg:jeff mills - the bells"
formed out of "tribal techno eg: Peace division - feels my drums"

Check out the description for tribal techno: "This goes hand
in hand with trance alot. The goal is the same: to get the
people naked and dancing under the stars.  So who wouldn't
be up for a little tribal action."
