Pump Up The Volume (Documentary)

Anyone seen this documentary about the history of house music???

It contains loads of classic tracks including early Chicago House from De Vit, Levan, Knuckes et al, the first Acid House track, the first Techno track by Derrick May....and so on.......

I can't remember all the names exactly, so maybe someone can help me out, bu it was very informative, and contains a lot of interviews with influential producers who produced "classics".

Another selection from the Miami Bass/Ghetto Bootie genre (is there such a thing?) is: 2 Live Crew - We Want Some Pussy

Don't know if it was mentioned, but Brian Eno-An Ending is pretty classic.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Have you even heard the tracks? There isn't a single synth in either of the original Tubular Bells sides. Tubular Bells 3 was quite synthy from what I remember of hearing it 5 years ago, but not the original. There's a list of instruments used on the back of the album, and no synths are used.

No, I haven't heard it, I'm commenting on how it sounds without having heard it.

Anyway, to me, it sounds very "synthetic". And Tu-face just said it's based on pads.

Now, who's right?

Tubular Bells is fantastic. Mike Oldfield definately started the whole "instrumental" theme way back in the 70s. i learned how to play it on the piano, actually.

He continues to make music, even up to this day. Tubular Bells Vol 3 was Ibiza inspired, and other recent albums have been more Chillout type of music [not really new age, but kind of close].

I honestly can't believe someone else around here knows TB. wow. Not really EDM [More instrumental than anything, but regardless still a great piece of music].

Hell yeah, I've been a fan forever. Saw him once live in Zurich (TB2 Tour), best show I've been to

It isn't based on pads, and there isn't a single synth used. It's all real instruments done on a 16 track tape mixer. It isn't electronic any more than it was put togethor on a mixer, which practically every track from the last 25 years recorded in a studio has. Now stop talking as if you're familiar with the classics when you've probably owned it less than a month.

It sounds like it's made on synths NONTHELESS. Nothing you say can affect that. No matter if it doesn't have synths in it, it sounds like it does. Period.-

i know someone already said Donna Summer - I Feel Love , which pwns almost everything everdone, but also

Donna Summer - I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley Mega Mix) , patrick cowley took i feel love and just through some simple added production, he created a epic journey out of an already brilliant track

So what? Tom Morrello can play a guitar to make it sound far more like a synthesisor than Tubular Bells, but I don't hear anyone saying Rage Against the Machine are EM. The only reason anyone counts Tubular Bells as electronic music is because Ishkur used it in his guide to show where electronic ambient came from.
