Techno Anyone?

Very much so. Kraftwerk, i have been listening for last twenty years, on and off. Always fascinating, particulary played in high end rig. Try Orbital and The future sound of london (where are they now?)for sound quality and very inventive complex layered hooks. The future sound of London is a geniuses in the making, just listen to the 'Lifeforms', ' dead cities' and 'ISDN'. Orbital too, the 2d album all the way to theire latest have very well defined sound stage and great music to go with. Early Chemical brothers and Prodigy music is also execellent. Try Photek's Risk and Reward and Modus Operandi for ass kicking Bass. Leftfield's leftism alos a standout. Fluke, source direct and the very Unique but at times repitative the UNDERWORLD. Who can argue with MOBY' dance music finesse.
If you really wanna scare the high end salon sales rep, try one of many Miami style BASS cds, with ultar low bass. Like BASS 305, TECHMASTER P.E.B, TECHNOBASS CREW, BASS CUBE to mention few. The first 3 have been consistently putting out very good bass heavy tunes.. If you can stand BASS BASS BASS chanting every minute. I have about 100+ techno CDs, 150+ classical, 100+ jazz, 50 plus classic rock, 10 plus rap, 50 +pop, 50 + world music CDS. Just to show that I started with techno and now I have good music from almost all types. Thoes BASS CD's are great for IN-CAR listening, just make sure that woofers and amps (and you ears) are up to the task.

Has anybody heard of Global Underground, they are an orginzation that has TONS of DJ's and different catagories(Prototype, Nubreed and the original "numbered/location" series) I have around 150 techno discs and most of them are good-excellent. My Fav's would be ATB, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyck, Orbital, Jason Dunne, kernkraft 400, Uberzone(there is suppose to be 2 dots over the U in Uberzone but I do not know how to do that with this keyboard),Brian Eno, Anthony Pappa, Hybrid, Alice DJ, Bt and Webster Hall. I better end the list here but it could go on. Keep the favorites coming we might all learn something from them, thanks, :>)Tim

To the above suggestions I would add Sven Vath, Banco de Gaia, Eat Static and American HomeGrown.

I believe The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk deserve a listen along with Carl Cox they all make some awesome music. BTW if you want to test your bass out listen to Track 2 "out of control" on The Chemical Brothers Album "Surrender". I thought the cones were going to tear themselves away from the surrounds. Dont know what Freq. the music goes down to but it is at least 30Hz (I think) and is loud!!! It sound great. Tim Warhurst.

Try Yello, esp. Pocket Universe.
