Help me out? I've never really 100% the 'singer songwriter' tag. I think that's because I didn't grow up in the right era. Spent too much time blasting techno? What do you think of singer songwriters like this? I could think of those seven that seem like top drawer singer...

A favourite producer of mine but I don't think he's that in favour on here? Could be wrong and he's been talked about before, but I get the feeling he is not really appreciated as much as I do, that and his atmospheric dub techno soundscapes aren't as esoteric as they might be due to the wealth...

Chicago House is of course already well documented and discussed, and even though I'm a self-confessed Detroit addict, often preferring the cold edge element to that city, I was into Chicago before I was into Detroit. I learned Acid House came from Chicago records, you see, and had a few WBMX...

Does Jimmy Rushing count? Heard him described as a shouter. How about Jack Sheldon? What's the best stuff? Too pedestrian for Dissensus?

For want of a better thread title I was reading the Discogs page for Wild Planet - Transmitter and came across this comment. I then spent a few hours listening to Carl Finlow tracks and whatever else came up in YouTube selections, found it a bit wishy washy and ended up listening to some...

I'm going to do a Summer Playlist in this thread, I saw other people have been invited to do them. I don't think I'm well known or quite cool enough in music taste to do one, so hope I'm not getting the way too much. There will be no 'anthems' like Summer in the City, hopefully not too much...

Not sure how Dissensian the poll is, but two searing anthems of 20th century electronic music, like them or not. For me it would have to be Crockett's Theme because it's much cooler. Well?

I watch a lot of fishing videos and the music in them is usually surprisingly good. I'm not sure how to describe it, it's not incidental music. It's more background music and surprisingly 'modern' selections, so I wasn't really sure how to title the thread. Surely it's similar to old library...

How are the parks in your area? Are they rough as in where I used to live in Birmingham or are they nice where you can do recreational things?

I enjoy reading comments like this on YouTube. A lot of tracks have WMBX style comments. I got into that station from early file sharing sites. But, I think there's a lot more to Chicago. As I only know the old stuff. 80s Italo and House stuff. Check out this '97 remix of Computer Madness...

From any genre. What are your favourites? Spine tingling euphoric or goose pimples darkness as below. The reason for the thread - I was chatting to someone about Trance. I told him I don't know the first thing about Trance. He told me it's not all supersaws and drum rolls and the best bits...

Someone mentioned him on another forum. I'd only briefly heard of him but reading his quotes he seems up my street. He seems like a pragmatist but I think I might have that wrong. What are your thoughts on Henri Bergson?

I feel like doing a list thread based on my favourite films. I hope people don't mind as there's not going to be that much exotic in there. I used to post on MUBI forum when it was still active and went through a phase of watching high minded art house and 'world' cinema. I've since retreated to...

House of God used to have a third room, it played an 'eclectic' mix of music, basically rare grooves from what I remember. I think @thirdform has been to HOG, maybe he will remember? And I'm not sure if other raves had the same thing going on, at least not quite in the same way as Techno in one...

There's not too much Techno talk on here at the moment and so I don't want to tread on anyones toes by doing this thread. I did a top 100 tracks a while back, that was compiled quickly and off the top of my head for another non music forum and I wasn't too happy with how the final list turned...

I'm particularly interested, well I say interested but only a few films have really piqued my interest, in early feminist films. I think you might be able to pick out earlier films and I'd be interested in hearing about that, but I think that something changed post WW2 when it came to slapping...

Been listening to this track. Reminds me of Badalamenti's Dub Driving from Lost Highway. There's a load of post punk tracks on the dub spectrum. What are the best?

What do you think about the beats, the poetry in particular? To me one moment stands out but I cant find the video anymore. It was at this poetry reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Poetry_Incarnation A poetry reading by Harry Fainlight. You can kind of see what happens when...

"There's always going to be gangs man, there's always going to be fighting"... from the Dennis Hopper directed film Colors. What I love about certain areas is a sense of civic pride and I'm not sure how many areas really have this. There's an element to it in Birmingham with Royal Blue, but...

I found out about this site during the Skripal Poisoning affair. https://www.bellingcat.com/ It's quite interesting what they do, Open Source Intelligence investigations. Thoughts? Read anything interesting on there?
