Okay - then I think it was just a case of poor choice of words on your part. You're right, I can't think of a single hardcore track that I like, and only a very few drum n bass tracks that I like manage to spring to my mind - but I can still appreciate it for what it is without actually liking it, and would never dismiss the entire genre as "shit" or "crap."

Not my genre of choice i have to say, and i hardly know fuck all about it. Though i loved,
Loco Dice - Seeing Through Shadows, that was a nice slice of minimal tech-house.

If you dont like it, then dont bloody listen to it, and stop moaning.....simple as.

here you go:

search google for any place that sells it online, its labeled under either minimal or techno. when minimal tracks are not so minimal, they're called the next closest sounding thing, techno.

If you don't like minimal, you obviously aren't going to any minimal parties. They are the BOMB.COM!


Montreal Minimal parties PWN. Julien knows what I'm talkin about!

you really just cant make every music snob in here happy in regards to genre labels. if you call your typical 2006 minimal track minimal, you get scoffed at by minimal purists saying "that's not minimal! its a disgrace how everything is called minimal now!". if you call a minimal style sounding techno track techno, you get yelled at for calling it techno.

what i meant by that earlier statement is how online stores categorize their music. everywhere i looked (briefly), lauschgoldengel was under either minimal or techno. over the past year of shopping, ive noticed when minimal tracks are not so minimal, (i.e. have more elements or layers - not so simplistic), they tend to get filed under techno. i think its because techno is the next closest cousin in terms that they are both very percussion oriented and the samples used are similiar (but not used in the same way).

btw i bought the one sided vinyl of lauschgoldengel and love it. play it on 33 speed for a really weird cool effect.
