From here to eternityyy
That's where she leads meee
From Here to eternityyy
With Love,with love, with love,with love!


Absolutely love Moroder!!!!Alexander Robotnick is also very good!

Anyway, I thought "electro" got big with kraftwerk.On the other side though, kraftwerk belonged in a different music scene anyway, the german kraut-rock scene(but not "genre"...) and probably the term "electro" wasn't used back in the 70s. Moroder's music was also called italo-disco though (or "space-disco" that's another one)and not "electro" as far as i know.

Why do people call this new shit "Electro"? It is NOT Electro...Ferry Corsten, Alter Ego and whoever else comes out with a socalled Elctro tune is a joke to real Electro.

You want Electro? go listen to Egyptian Lover and you will know what Electro sounds like.

And Tech-House will probally be the next big genre...at least thats how it seems to be heading....either or i dont give a shit cus i like Tribal House and that shit will never become mainstream. And yes i hate when mainstream cats listen to what i do...simply cus they drain it for all its worth and leave it to rot...look at Studio 54..one of the best examples of the massess fucking shit up.

Bring back 1994 NYC clubbing nights, cus the sh*t today is filled with junk parties and DJs that play sh*t House.....Zabiela, Sander, or Howells and all the rest suck and couldnt throw a night like it was in the early 90s in NYC!!!...Screw Twilo - give me Limelight circa 1993!!!

agreed.
but like any genre, too much can drive you mad

Next big thing for me is Drum and Bass(good lookin style) - it has everything: emotion,awesome rhytem and great sounds but unfurtunatly i don't have the time to explore the ganre

Im amazed with people who listen to all these "tech" things...it have nothing at all to do with trance...all this tech-trance is starting to hurt my fav. trance artists like Thomas datt,MIDOR etc...i pretty much hate it,i wish there was more seperation with Trance\house artists and Tech trance artists

i rather see the good Electro on "top",that way Minimal and psy
will remain where they should be and wouldnt get hurt in the eyes of its fans and prog will remain unharmed,its the perfect solution

Hey, you want it done right or do you want it done quickly?

I'm glad we have someone who actually takes time with his work, chooses quality over quantity, instead of just shitting out preset-ladened tracks with half-ideas and flooding the market with mediocrity, like many, MANY trance buffoons I'm sure we can all name.

+1...I can wait a year or so for a new track...just make it count.

Originally posted by Ishkur Well, to start with, there's a whole shitload of things wrong with your statement anyway. To acknowledge Rocker's popularity but not Satisfaction's, which predated it by a good two years? ....why? Because as you claim, the former was underground and the latter was mainstream? What the hell does that mean? They're both equally commercial club records. They were BOTH underground releases that became mainstream due to the reception, however you want to slice it. But Satisfaction was a massively more successful hit, and really put the "ELECTRO" stamp into the public lexicon. Again: It's Felix da Housecat that did it all, that finally linked electroclash (which was mostly a sleazy NY punk thing at the time) with house music. Kitten and de Glitz was the most important release to the growth of "electro" music in the last five years. Electronic music does not officially begin the year you started clubbing.

My point about Satisfaction is that it got so popular that all the "respected underground djs" (aka those who rank high in the dj mag poll, except ATB, Sammy and the likes) didn't play it as it was deemed cheesy, something Rocker did not suffer from. Felix da Housecat IMO looks more like a serious candidate for starting it, and I'll admit I haven't followed his releases with attention, so fair enough.

ok, but if you hear a set from him from 2005 and one from 2006 you'll hear the same songs all over again
