narcissist barty's techno party

[sadmanbarty]

the yacht they filmed big pimpin on- the same weather, the same exposure on the camera- gliding seamlessly through sky blue oceans.

 

[sadmanbarty]

Done!

 

[sadmanbarty]

there's a masters at work song that samples ini kamoze. i heard it pitched up in a mickey finn set and it was the best thing i'd ever heard. hunted down the tracklist to find it only for it to be bloody awful when it was played at its regular speed

not ini kamoze, it's junior reid.

i made the mistake of forgetting its federal law in the states that the only jamaican music you can sample is that juniour reid song that no jamaican person has ever actually heard of.

[sadmanbarty]

this is one of those ones that are too emotional to listen to. you have to turn it off.


the other ones that spring to mind are dem 2 'destiny' and that garage one 'sweet like chocolate' that are both from childhood. don't know how big fun got elevated to that level, i probably first heard it in my late teens.

Herculean effort. What important lessons have you learned from techno? What dazzling insights gleaned? What new facets of your soul revealed?

 

[Beagle]

Every song in this thread is better than the terrible Bandcamp music Barty used to post until he discovered Migos in 2017

Better than all the Drill songs Barty posts too LOL.

Good dog

Listen to this Drexciyan offshoot, Barry


Don't be too hard on it if you don't like it, though, as I had a cherished experience on magic mushrooms to it some years ago.

Don't smash my snow globe.

The problem beagles project has to negotiate is how to avoid looking obsessive, bitter and stalkerish. Probably time to evolve to the next phase now.

 

[craner]

This thread is better than ILM.

Tim Finney should watch out.

Luka to Barty "And now I smile like a proud dad watchin' his only son that made it"

i know how i'd get into it if i were forced to.

it's very innocent and childlike. an emotional purity. that'd be the angle.

and for the rest of it it'd be a toy-like thing. it sounds like playing with action figures. pressing the button on its back so it swings it swords.

 

[luka]

It's techno. It's a realm. It's an achieved aesthetic. Not everyone would choose to live there but it's always worth a visit.

 

[sadmanbarty]

it sounds nothign like i thought it would. techno is a misnomer. i thought it'd be austere, but its very human.

i also thought it wouldn't sound so dated.

 

[luka]

It has its austere side but yeah, often very human.

 

[craner]

There's an aesthetic elegance to it which was conspicuously missing from UK mutations, which they hated as you can hear in the conversation towards the end of this show:

 

[luka]

As far as toys go that's a choice we make as audience isn't it. It's possible to watch 2000ad or star wars and distance yourself by saying "lol those aren't real spaceships they're just airfix models" and it's true, they are. Or you can permit the fiction.

 

[luka]

We need very little to create the experience, the imps move in and occupy any mask no matter how crude. Space Invaders was as immersive an environment as any modern computer game. I think that's the interesting thing. It's our imaginations that do most of the work.
