Seal Phuric and Acid Kirk were Belgiums answer to the early Aphex industrial style. From one my favorite eps of 94:

oh sweden was bad then, terrible, agreed. but lets stop comparing. why underworld is so hated by the cognoscenti (and born slippy is accepted?! it's terrible!) is sometimes beyond me

yes I am aware of that but as the UK has produced the maximum of 10 globally relevant techno producers I think UK techno heads should've directed their hate elsewhere

still the best tuesday track, from '94 of course:

it just seem silly to post '94 tunes as there's just an endless supply. I think 50% of my record collection is from '94, and not only techno

didn't know this one; that Irdial dude was wild. *So off to discogs I go*.. Ehh, ok maybe not.

In fact this record meant to much to me that I resented all other forms of techno that came before and after for several years; I think it was akin to a semi-religious experience or becoming a monk or whatever. I vividly remember reading that paragraph years later in Energy Flash where this...

94 was the year I got radicalized and since never looked back then first hearing this :

Yeah, they are two seperate things. You are right on about Berlin, it was never a producers city in the 90s, only BC and Klaus Kotai did something worthwhile. I don't see UR as unique as they did too many different things, and to me it's hard to distinguish a true UR sound. When they split up...

BC without a doubt. UR are great, but not unique, unless Robert Hood early solo stuff counts. And Mark Ernestus is one of the best producers ever when he works with Jeri Jeri/Ndagga:

completed miscredited by modern psychologists which obviously is a huge recommendation

they forgot environmentalism

floating quietly over city flickering lights:

all solid tracks, but this one need an extra mention as this is one of my all time favorites and that's rare as it's not from the 90s. Nearly sublime, weightless vibe and sounds like it was made without effort whatsoever

A light-as-a-feather track by Luke Slater. He should have done more like this
