Techno Anyone?

Straight techno can be boring, but there's a lot of synth- based albums that are excellent: Paul van Dyk's "Seven Ways", Leftfield's "Leftism", Headcase's "mushi mushi", Autechre's untitled album. You can have some luck with remixes. Curve's 'Chinese Burn'(song) was released as the basis of an ep/single with fantastic techno versions of the song. Basically anything Paul van Dyk remixes ist sehr gut, so just buy it. Oh, and Praga Khan of/and Lords of Acid.

"numbers" by the progenitors of techno, kraftwerk, is a great test track. i love to put it into a system on which chamber music is clearly favored, then crank it up to see whether the speaker cones give way before the patience of the tight-assed manufacture's reps. BTW, i love run lola run, too, a better version of "sliding doors." do you vant to touch my monkey?

A MUST: Run Lola Run Soundtrack. Exciting german techno music. Very good sound too. You should have this one in your collection. Track #7 is upon the very best pieces in my collection!
