I'm not putting it down and I do like a lot of it. I'm just saying that a lot of it sounds crappy. There are some great artists out there doing it, but I hear a lot of music that's crap - stuff that you know right off the bat that nobody is going to be interested in after a few years. That's the stuff I avoid, or try to. I like a number of artists who work electronically. Blevin Blechtum is a local female techno artist I dig. I am fascinated with what John Oswald does - "Plunderphonics". That stuff takes a LOT of work and I think it's great. But what Oswald does is different from most electronic artists. He used to work with razor blades and tape, I think. Now I'm sure he does it digitally.

 

Funny my mind was wrapped in the subject of techno and someone I knew whose interest lies in there. Maybe you'll like his music. He goes by. . . .

Try his song. I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed. Tell me if you're disappointed. I'll have to chew on my words.

Edit: Information removed. None of your business, frankly. My bad. . . .

Alright a while back (1996) I started listening to techno, I really like it. Mostly like aphex twin (window licker kicked arse) moby was alright, I like sandstorm but you can only listen to so much lightstick music before you go insane. Crystal method is awsome in my opinion. But this new disco crap is REALLY starting to piss me off. Disco is dead, let it stay that way. I hate turning on my local techno station and hearing daft punk play that lame crap. It was cute for a while, sort of mixing it a little with it. But now i cant find any damn music i can listen too. Anyone else feel the same?

Oh and techno fans. Go out and rent "kevin and perry go large" just do it right now, dont even sign off the net. Its funnier then hell.

aight...what your listening too isnt techno at ALL...so dont say techno is going down...because you need to listen to some real techno...

aphex twin and crystal method...are GOOD but you need to give real techon a chance...

This quasi-fratboy-friendly trance music is what KILLED electronic music. Electronic music was such an inspired art form, with some really sincere vibes behind it. This dj-as-a-star crap turned electronic music into the european version of green-day. Paul Oakenfield and his Ibiza crap is like watching a girls-gone-wild video. What the hell...
I personally would recommend a return to the disco elements. I really wish it cold be like circa 1992-1994 again. Man, that was the time.....

actually, music concréte is

 

[Schadenfroh]

i dont like where techno has been, i dont like where it is, and i dont like where it is going (unless to the grave)

 

[DigDug]

haha

you are right, but his point was that moving towards disco is a regression and not falling into the toilet of a new unchartered territory.

ok, blame it on oakenfold, but tiesto or deep dish had nothing to do with that whole 'starry eyed supprise lets play trance/techno music on mtv' bs.

like you can't say that about any other genre

 

[DigDug]

The great problem with digital music is that it is so easy to make uninspired, yet well-produced music. I used to compose electronic music (wavestation, Asr-10, JD-800, the works). Alot of the "impressive" stuff is just patches for software generators, arpeggiators and, yes, alot of "knob-twiddling". It's kind of like the Napster effect - input overload devalues it all.

disco is bad no matter what form it crops up in

where can you find pleasure, search the world for treasure,
learn science technology?

where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
on the land or on the sea?

where can you learn to fly, playing sports or skin dive
study oceanography?

sign up for the big band, or sit in the grandstand
when your team and others meet

in the navy!

Yeah, w/o reading the second half of all the posts, "techno" as a general term is too broad to pinpoint. It's not going in any one certain direction. If you're listening Crystal Method, Aphex Twin and Moby, you're really really limiting yourself to certain types of music...branch out a little more, maybe you'll find something new you like. There's a new genre opening up every day. ^_^

And just so I can brag: DJ TIESTO'S SPINNING AT BLEU IN DETROIT MAY 15TH!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The way i see techno is this. There is techno, and techno branches out into the other types of elelctronic music, house rave, dance, Whatever. Im just trying to put in to non techno expierenced terms. Im mainly talking about the crap that floats to the top of the bucket turning into disco crap preventing the good stuff to surface. Im not saying that all types of techno are turning into disco. And yes i do listen to more music then that, just sort of pointing out the stuff i mainly listen to.

 

[Demosthenes]

duuuudee the electronica scene is takin off all over. you just gotta look in the right places, not everything is layed out for you on a daily top 10 list like MTV..

how do you know people out there doesn't like disco house? just cuz you don't liek it doesn't mean your listeners won't, and vice versa

 

[Xionide]

but my personal favorite techno song is "the system is down" by strongbad

 

[GermyBoy]

I've always hated where techno has been. Worse than rap if you ask me, but I wouldn't listen to either.
