~~*Techno & Trance Music*~~

[Mr. Graves]

I think Darren Tate is my favourite DJ atm. I'm listening to "Elevation" as I type this. I like it. Like, a lot.

[Shoden]

That's because the people that make techno music are all DJs, not artists.

theres people who make Techno who are music Artists

William Orbit remixed Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings into an amazing Trance theme he didn't ruin the feeling of the piece of music unlike DJ Tiesto

[krissy]

to be fair anyone here could have accomplished the same thing orbit did with that song if they have something that can change a MIDI around a bit and export as an mp3

Dudius: i find that feeling is also missing when listening to theory of a nickeldeadback man, and they use real instruments (i think). it's more along the lines of whether or not a song/artist is good more than based on genre. there's classical music that's pretty much a percussion piece also. knock knock, whos' there, knock cknock, who's there, knock knock, whoe's there, phillip glass.

anyway

new Boards of Canada soon eest 8-)

[White Raven]

Daft Punk is the only group of that gendre that I listen too. They sound so kooky and original....I love em. Plus their videos are awesome too.

[Shoden]

At least Orbit made some good music and didn't butcher the song.

i hate all the DJ w/e artists and stuff can't they just give themselves a decent name?
can they make music without butchering the original version?

IMO Trance and Dance are alot better than techno


Trance is like a Rhythmic theme that goes on for a few minutes the theme changes speed and moods alot while dance is very well done music that is quite fast at times but usually excellent. Techno is just rap and dance together

Boom ch boom ch boom ch

Sounds fine to me.

I really like DJ Shadow. He hardly fits the stereotype of what techno is.

I tried listening to stuff like Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, but it was too soft for me. Without a good beat driving a song, it's hard to put up with the repetition.

I like a couple of tracks by Scooter but thats it

DJ Shadow is pretty good.

BoC are so awesome though, they don't need beats because their songs are so awesome. Autechre has more beats. Some of their albums are awesome, like Amber, Tri Repetae, and Chiastic Slide.

oh man aphex dows some crazy drill n bass

http://www.sputnik7.com/vod/vodartis...music&key=ctdd

it's not always a proper beat but it's definitely a driving beat aka so fast you can't help but follow

you would also like Amon Tobin (he did an ost for a splinter cell game recently), he's got some nice instrumental hip hoppy stuff too back in some younger cd's

also in a very similar vein as DJ Shadow, this new guy from ninjatune popped up recently (altho apparently he's been mixing stuff for people under a real name), Blockhead, might have mentioned it before.

yea amon tobin rocks so much

[krissy]

hey eest i really like the new tosca song with the lady going 'this was written in '
it's interesting

i think we just hijacked this thread into electronica territory

[eestlinc]

i haven't heard the new tosca song.

but tosca is really cool. Opera is a great cd.

electronica is so much better than trance. xD

[Shoden]

Trance is only music same with Dance

Techno is Trance/Dance with rap
