Does any body on this forum every listen to techno type music? I do a little and am amazed at how good some of it actually sounds and it also tends to be very adventurous. Or are most of you the Tech*NO* crowd which I would understand.
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!
"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?
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.
