Favourite tunes in 2000, eh? I was quite heavily into drum n bass and UK Garage in its 2step-phase then.
Shola Ama - Imagine (Asylum Mix)
Wookie - Scrappy
MJ Cole - Sincere
DJ Zinc - 138 Trek
Agent X - Decoy
Daniel Savine - This Time (Dom & Roland Remix)
Die - Clear Skyz
Krust - Kloakin' Device
Triadd - Hydroxy
This was also the time where I really loved the darker and tougher
trance tracks that came out of the "prog"-end, which was often played on friday and saturday nights on Norwegian channel Mpetre by guys like Stigma and Prof. Scuba. They don't really make those tunes anymore.
La Forge - Second Contact
Oliver Klein - Rheinkraft
Silk AM - Pacific
Corvin Dalek - The Atheist
Cliff Tangredi - Shimmer
Attractive Fusion - Morning Exposure
Mindspace - Mind Control

Haha, he was a favorite of mine, too.

I just liked him because he was shocking or whatever. I went to high school pretty close to Columbine, I even remember the day it happened - cops were all over our school, some with guns in hand. It was just stupid. He was unnecessarily blamed for it, along with KMFDM, et al. I wasn't that I actually harboured homicidal fantasies in the least, it's just that an impressionable teenager is naturally attracted to subversive things, things that they do not want to you to see, to hear.
But in the end, though I appreciated his music and image greatly, I had no idea what sort of subtext he was incorporating into his art. Mechanical Animals was kind of a Bowie tribute conglomeration, sampling from all sorts of time frames of rock music (Paul McCartney and Wings, etc.) and was maybe the beginning of his paranoid, drug-fueled self demise. Utterly on purpose, the crazy . The alchemical significance of Antichrist Superstar would have to wait until I was older, but now I know he is one of the most significant figures of the 1990s, history will just take its sweet time, as it does, to catch up with him.

To this day, it's still one of my favourite albums.

I liked him for that reason, but the music did resonate with me, too, as just about anything noisy and rage-filled did back then. I liked his videos as well.
I remember in middle school there were all sorts of rumors about him. People used to say that he and his band were killing puppies on stage. Oh no, poor puppies!

Haha, Manson would never do that. He loves animals.
//I'll bet that rumour stems from a certain Skinny Puppy concert though. Manson was heavily influenced by SP, and one show in the late 80s, Ogre had a stuffed dog on stage he was pretending to dissect. Cops were called in on animal abuse charges, but it was obviously a very bunk charge. Skinny Puppy did numerous songs and even benefit concerts to thwart animal cruelty and raise awareness on animal testing- like it was the completely opposite reaction of what they were actually about. :rolleyes: :stongue:
Even their name is derived from the idea of seeing the world of man through a dog's eyes- and all of the horror that idea encompasses.

I was just getting into trance for the first time, because it was at the height of its chart popularity and was all over the radio and pop compilations. Stuff like:
Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400
Storm - Time To Burn
Delerium - Silence (Airscape Mix)
Azzido Da Bass - Dooms Night (Timo Maas Mix)
Also at the time I was a massive fan of Jeff Wayne's musical adaptation of The War Of The Worlds, which came from my Dad's record collection. It was a sprawling disco/funk/prog rock concept album with incredible nightmarish 70s sleeve art. The full thing was almost two hours long and it took a whole afternoon to listen to it. Richard Burton's narration scared me less as a kid, and it began a psychological trauma that still gives me regular nightmares, even a decade on.
This is the opening track, The Eve Of The War. Tilt did a slamming prog breaks remix years later, but when I listen back now I'm amazed to hear some proto-303 line bubbling in the background of the chorus:
