This is massive crap.

Originally posted by Trance-MB Also, after Talla founded the record company Music Research many sub-labels appeared: Especially Bonzai and Tetsuo had some famous producers. But enough about labels, producers jumped from one label to the another and back.

Bonzai Germany was just the German division of Bonzai Belgium (founded in 1992). Music Research was had apart from that nothing to do with Bonzai.

Originally posted by Aiwendil Alright, Talla was bigger and earlier than I thought. However, I question what was actually played at Dorian Grey and "technoclub" up until '88-'90; how much of it was actually techno.

very little. I own the CD Technoclub vol 1 released in 1990. It's all obscure electro and stuff

Hmm.. For a little clarity here...

A great number of Music Research tunes have been remade during the anthem era, perhaps most notably Final Fantasy - Controlling Transmission and Aqualite - Outback. Ralph Fritch (Fridge) released tons of material on that label, as well as Norman Feller (Terry Bones). There's quite a bit of history to be had with Music Reasearch but it just never got as much PR as EyeQ did because the prog house/trance DJs never played that stuff -too upbeat.

I may be a bit partial to the old Suck Me Plasma sound, though, as I gorged myself on tons of their material back when Hypnotic was releasing it with all those spiffy CD covers.

yeah i was a big fan of Suck Me Plasma as well back in the days.
I think one of the reasons why they never got as big recognition as Eye Q is because it was very focused on the german market.
Eye Q on the other hand had a UK and US division. Which brought classics such as Caf� Del Mar, Vernons Wonderland, The Orange Theme etc to UK and made them huge clubhits there.

My favourite producer on Suck Me Plasma was Fridge and I totally loved Outface, even enjoyed Outface 2000. Sadly enough few people outside of Germany know about many of the Suck Me Plasma tunes.

Well, Hypnotic did a half decent job in bringing a bunch of them over. For a long time, my buddies and I would always look for that vintage Music Research seal, representing 'electronic purity'.

Yes, it was the German division of Bonzai, but through Music Research Bonzai was able to get known in Germany, which was good for the scene. Bonzai in Belgium had a completely different sound (I guess darker and sometimes harder). The clubscene in Belgium (Cherrymoon, Zillion, Illusion) was well known those days. At the same time in the Netherlands the Hardcore appeared, while in Germany more Trance and Happy Hardcore.
(Bonzai itselves in Belgium was a sublabel of Lightning Records.)

But the German scene was huge in the mid 90's (and still is). Probably big enough that it wasn't really necessary to go across the borders.
I had a quick look at labels like Edel, ZYX, Club Tools and Dos Or Die:

http://www.discogs.com/label/Edel+Records+(Germany)
http://www.discogs.com/label/ZYX+Music
http://www.discogs.com/label/Club+Tools
http://www.discogs.com/label/Dos+Or+Die+Recordings

Than even Music Research looks small again.

In those days I didn't look at labels at all. To me it was what I could find in the stores. Starting with the whole Turn Up The Bass series, to Trance Nation, Trancemaster, Rave Parade, Serious Beats, Dance Opera, Octan....Belgium, Germany, UK, Netherlands everything mixed up.

It was difficult to explain someone which music you liked. It was easier to explain which you didn't (too many substyles....)

Oh, and the number of used aliases by artists didn't make it easier...

What he said. Terry Bones is from Belgium from what I can recall, while Norman is german.

Terry Bones (real name Bruno Thierry) probably is from Belgium (his first hit):

Alias of Norman Feller = Terry Lee Brown Jr. (he's german)

Nice all those aliases.

Ack! You're right. For some reason I got Brown crossed up with Bones. My bad.

Ah well, somebody needs to keep the thought that everything is techno alive..

You can't have well-informed people without the clueless ones.

I just heard an oldie:

DJ Jean - The Launch.


What style would you call this?

Shit.


Or clubtrance, if I'm in a forgiving mood.

propably one of the worst club tunes ever made. seriously.

There is absolutely NOTHING trance about The Launch. NOTHING. Show me where the trance is in The Launch.

I totally agree. That's why I think it was a nice example.

But this probably was one of the first "Club" hits which was a huge hit outside the Clubscene.
Tracks like this sometimes have succes in Europe and get high in the Top40 charts.
I don't really know, but think this will not be the case in US or Canada Top40 charts.

But it was a hit and I was not the only one who liked it:

His productions also gained worlwide fame with legendary anthem "The Launch" on top, selling over 1.000.000 copies worldwide!

Jam & Spoon - Right in the night was very big outside the club scene. And that was like in 1993
