I'd been interested and could probably see the list breaking into
different charts, Founding Classic, First Wave etc

I kind of agree. SOL has always been a bit of a misnomer for me as it
was all about The Dance where I was at the time. SOL came popular
later but never held the same kudos as The Dance.

Let the beatport hating begin ;-)
Any list like this is subjective, of course. But while Detroit is
represented on this list, it sure tilts towards the european idea of
what comprises techno. Not to put too fine a point
I think that is a capital idea. Since Beatport is riddled with
current and former 313 subscribers, I bet they'd put it on their blog.
A chance to educate all those kids with their
cracked copies of Traktor out there...

I think we can all agree that the inclusion of several Hawtin or at
least Hawtin related (lots of Probe on there!) tracks at the exclusion
of anything by any of the Belleville Three is laughable at best,
disgusting at worst. Though kudos to UR's inclusion on the list. My
top 20 to follow.

Strings of Life was bigger than many of those tracks combined, even in Europe.

While debatable, the list was better than I expected. 25% Detroit is
pretty good considering it's only one city in the world.
If I was doing the list I would put in No UFO's or Cosmic Cars and
something by Derrick May.

The problem is Beatport doesn't have the latter and their download of the
former sounds like crap! I don't know why Juan gave them poor vinyl rips
when there's that Tresor double-CD comp.

On Tue,
You're exactly right Lori. I mean even if the idea was to list stuff
that isn't already widely known (and it appears to have been; do note
the exclusion of Jaguar, or Strings, or Bells, or Good Life) at least
pick SOMETHING by Juan, Kevin, or Derrick! JEESH.

I think the populace would be better served with a list of 20 tracks
you missed!
I'll cite an example to prove my point.
Jeff Mills - Kat Moda EP - everyone with a pulse would tell you that
the bells is best cut on this record. In fact it isn't. Skip over
the hit and drop Kat Race, as I've done
Jacob makes a very good point. Whatever list we come up with it's
useless unless they sell the mp3, isn't it?

I think the Beatportal list reflects an idea of techno as strictly
having the 4 to the floor beat. A lot of the early tracks had more of
an Electro beat.
I have a friend in Seattle who was an old school raver, was (and is) a
good techno producer, and he'd didn't know Strings Of Life and
we do not claim to come even close with this list.
then why bother?
then again, it's not a top 20 list - as in the best examples of the field
just a list of tunes they think every techno fan should know
imo, I don't see, even with their explanation, why it's essential to know
Damon Wild's 2112
I've come across a few people who consider themselves techno producers who
don't like anything having to do with Detroit
(and, being good little ignorant idiots, they've played at afterhours
parties @ Movement)

Good point about Strings... Kent. To wit - the first time I heard
Jaguar I didn't know much about Rolando, didn't know it was his track,
and hastily labeled it progressive trance. Hahaha.

As regards the dreaded 'Progressive' label -- any techno that is at
all melodic and builds, ends up getting picked up by the Progressive
DJs. The problem with Progressive DJs and producers is they don't
know where the line is -- while they'll drop some quality tracks,
they'll also drop incredibly

As much as i'd love to join the pisstaking, i have to remind you that
they're not talking about 20 detroit techno tracks every fan should know.
Apart from that, those lists are always purely subjective and will cause
mayhem
and havoc whenever and whereever they appear. Still think there are

Oh hating beatport, now come on Kent, give me a real challenge ;-) I
dont think my personal views on beatport will pass the 313

Nice try though, and none of them choices offend me with
the exception of the Science Fiction choice, which is way
off...
