UK Techno "Lightning Swords of Death" 1989-1995

[boxedjoy]

Ability II - Pressure Dub ( 1990 )

There used to be a market stall around here with a 10p section - this was one of my random buys...proto dub techno...

this sounds incredible when you hear it out, those dubbed-out vocals!

Unintelligent UK techno as played out by Jeff Mills ( features in the Live at Liquid Room mix )

Another Jeff Mills favourite, big at The Orbit in Morley, Leeds as well

yucky acid from Sarf London.

Mills also big into the Spira releases.

played by our geezer DJ Hype.

2010s maximalism perfected in 1989.

Annihilator robot.

Planetary Assault Systems - Angel Street ( 1993 )

I'm guessing Luke Slater has a copy of Tangerine Dream's Force Majeure

 

[thirdform]

the berlin schoolers puking up the mushrooms

 

[thirdform]

the groove threatens to spill beyond the track



1994 a great year for this stuff.

More dubstep should have sounded like this.

Off that same label. mayhem.

Fly By Wire - Alkaline 3dH ( 1993 )

Dave Clarke - peak time nosebleed techno

People danced to this - punishing...

oops - just spotted @thirdform beat me to it upthread.. apologies for the double post..

 

[thirdform]

1995, funky 160+ kickdrum mayhem if there was ever such a thing. pure steel girder momentum. Rendered all freetekno after this redundant. Audio Illusion - great label, Dexorcist and co.



Spiral Tribe were a bunch of pussies.
