Can't wait for his visit to Reykjavík on the 3rd of June, it's gonna be awesome! |
Thanks for the suggestion. Will give it a shot! |

dudes...what she doesn't like is acid techno. most of the tracks in haak's list are modern acid techno. the tracks she doesn't like in the set i believe are acid techno too. others she doesn't like because of peripheral things like "too many spacey sounds". what she wants, i believe, is early-mid 90's acid trance. |
Ding ding ding !!! Who is this man?
You've got it even pinholed down to the year! Thanks for all your help, sexpert. I felt like I was receiving the best of service from a man at Ultimate Electronics for a new speaker system or something. I feel the need to fill out "Rate My Service" survey.
Ok. Now that THAT is solved, who do I begin with?:eek: |

if you ask me, the first place anyone should start listening to acid trance is Hardfloor. that might be a safe bet. stick to stuff before '96...they start to do some weird downtempo acid stuff and some more monotonous stuff after that.
i'd suggest their album TB Resuscitation
other hardfloor tracks you might want to check are Funalogue, tracks from this album: http://www.discogs.com/release/145648
also for some remixes maybe try:
The Shamen - Destination Eschaton (Hardfloor Remix)
Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor Dub)
Robert Armani - Circus Bells (Hardfloor Remix)
New Order - Blue Monday (Hardfloor Mix)
Sven Vath - Robot (Hardfloor Mix)
well...that might be what you're looking for. i tried.
wait did you just say you'd have sex with me? |

HAWT DAMN !!!!!!!
I'm so excited ! I feel like I've just made a new discovery:p Let me feel that way, for I am centuries behind.
Lol no. I think I said I'd TEXT you. ;)
However, you've forever stole my heart! and I grant you the most of respect. (which is much better than dex from me) hahaah |

you can do whatever you want to me...errr....now this is getting weird.
well, i'm sure others will come in now and suggest some stuff. sand leaper, sykonee, alphastarred, and others, they know this stuff as well as i do or better, but they're probably doing something useful right now.
i guess my last advice is that no matter what anyone suggests, don't buy until you've heard. |

I'll usually give it a shot if its got a coherent review. For example: Review on your Hardfloor recommendation.
Previously available only on vinyl, this Hardfloor album from 1993 is the first and only "re-mastered" techno-CD in my collection (although their second album "Respect" was given the same treatment, I had the non-re-mastered version beforehand). Some of my non-techno-loving acquaintances found the re-mastering of electronic music as amusing as I did. However - unlike them - I felt the re-mastering was well worth time and energy, for this album is one of the Great Classics in dance-music history. Anyone dedicated to building a representative body of electronic music should acquire `TB Resuscitation'.
This first album by duo producers Ramon Zenker and Oliver Bondzio contains some of their best-remembered releases. It starts with the pumping acid-techno track "Lost In The Silver Box", which is followed by their second-most famous track: the smooth, building-up-to-a-great-finale classic called "Trancescript". Their most famous single - the hypnotic, spellbinding 303-synthesizer concerto "Acperience 1" - also features here. The other tracks might not be as well known, they are certainly of top-notch quality, most notably the wobbling-along "AM-Trip". This is one of those rare recordings on which every track, despite being diverse or perhaps exactly for that reason, is a classic in its right.
That the album sounds fresh even today is mainly due to Hardfloor's unique approach. There is something undeniably funky to their tracks, without having to resort to any samples whatsoever - apart from the odd supplementary vocal here and there. Their inimitable use of the Roland TB 303 Synthesizer - the sound of which is best described as an electronic didgeridoo - ranks them with the most respected "Acid-Wizards" in the field.
That they were groundbreaking became apparent right after the release of this record, when there was a long period in which every overwhelming or blood-boiling new dance-single seemed to be a Hardfloor remix.
Today, Ramon and Oliver seemed to have vanished from the planet's surface, their last album released years ago. They can feel well remembered though, and their music is present on every serious collectible. If there were ever a techno Walk Of Fame, Hardfloor would have one of the first tiles placed. It all began with this record.
This one gets five stars. It is an absolute essential.

Sounds promising !

i don't listen to too much acid trance stuff, more into techy acid, but you can certainly try stuff from Jurgen Driessen - lots of great older acid trancey stuff. Thomas P. Heckmann has also done some great acid trance works back in the day. I'd also highly recommend you check out older Roland Casper sets. They incorporate acid house/trance/techno but he's one of the best at doing so, and i'm sure you'd like his stuff.
also check:
Lift & Oblivion - United Space
Capricorn - 20 Hz |

This is ADDICTING. I've never heard of any of these labels or Dj's.
From the posts in relation to this set, it was stated that this was a different genre of acid ? :conf: WHAT.IS.IT?! Gawd, I'm missing out on so much!!! That first tune is :eyes: The whole set is :eyes:! |
that first tune is awesome
too bad you didn't like my set :( :( :( :p |

It was because of YOUR set I became interested in the sound. :) But then, I heard this after doing some research. I noticed there was a defining difference amongst the two and just prefered this style. So there is my explanation:D
No harsh feelings! Your sets are some of the few that steer in a different direction. |

i see. well it seems to me that basically, the difference between acid techno and acid trance is that acid techno usually always has only one acid line, and it's very monotonous. acid trance usually has more than one acid line playing at the same time in the climax of the track. an acid trance track has more than one acid layer, and they are added into the track over time. there are some acid techno tracks on TB Resuscitation. like teebeestroica. but other acid trancers on it like Acperience and Trancescript have excellent acid play.
but then i'm probably wrong since i can think of some acid trance with only one acid line and there are probably some acid techno with more than one. and then there's acid house...OY!!
here's another album with some killer acid trance, i think: http://www.discogs.com/release/900
and a couple more artist who've made a good amount of acid trance:
Electric Skychurch
Emmanuel Top
