Come to think of it, on most of Martin Damm(Biochip C)s albums the tracks are mixed. Speed Freak albums like For You and Desruction by Speed, and Biochip albums like Breakdown and 2001, they all do it, more or less. But especially interesting in this context is probably the Steel album Audio...

Biochip Cs Biocalypse 2lp contains breakbeat 'ardcore, gabber, acid, some trance-like stuff and some ambient-ish stuff, and the tracks are mixed so that each side is like a kind of rave-suite. On the cd version it could be one continuous mix, but I haven't heard it. Oh, and it's the best techno...

Not much I think, but it makes me wonder if I understands music at all, or I'm just being very tolerant.

Yes, I think the real important point is the broadness of the genre, as well as the degrees of invention and eclecticism allowed within the singular tracks. When a genre have reached the point where it produces DJ tools rather than anthems, mono-genre sets always get bloody boring. Why anyone...

I feel pretty much this way, and I've had practically no formal training whatsoever. But then, how do I know I understand it? Do I have to know what the composer meant, or wanted me to feel? I don't necessarily understand how something is made, technically, but I never find any music difficult...

Once when I was a kid - I don't remember the exact age - I heard a voice inside my head saying "En meget uhyggelig film" (that is danish for "A very scary movie"). It was more or less the voice of an well known tv announcer, only much louder and clearer and totally within my head; I was sitting...

If anything, I'm loving music too much. I always end up thinking: "yeah ok, so it's a somewhat mediocre record, it would make no difference whatsoever if it didn't exist or I didn't own it... but... still, it's part of the whole, it fits somewhere in the great puzzle of music history, somebody...

Eh, I kind of do, I'm afraid. It's not that I don't want to get rid of it, but since it's crap it's mostly not something I can sell, and then the alternative is to bin it, and I just can't get myself to throw vinyl away. Furthermore, when I try to find records in my collection that I can gen...

The greatness of Orbital, or at least most of what they did, is hardly controversial - they just shouldn't have made all those collaborations with vocalists. Much more problematic is... Future Sound of London!!! The great prog-tech bogey of Energy Flash: "It's a Daliesque frightmare of...

Heh, I don't think I even own ten black metal records, but strangely, I actually have The Oath of Black Blood. Quite funny, that one.

Ironic, considering how they have helped krautrock getting much more trendy that techno ever was. Was techno ever "trendy" at all? As far as I remember it have allways been looked down upon. But yes, very useful book. Ah, I remember forcing my parents to let me stay up late and watch the tv...

It's just kinda chill out trance, really. Not bad for that, but I'd rather go for the real thing, like System 7 or EBI or Optic Eye. Recently got Time Machines and Worship the Glitch. Nothing particular either, decent drones and ambient and such. I really like Astral Disaster, though.

They begin to repeat themselves towards the end of the 70s, as well as they try make more complex compositions with less improvisation/repetitive sequencer freakout. And that's not to their advantage. Tangram and Force Majeur have their moments, but I never really listen to them anymore. Cyclone...

Hm, well, Schulze and Schnitzler sound nothing like Vangelis I think, but you might as well hold me responsible anyway, because I actually like him! (shock horror!!!). Yeah sure, we all know and hate Chariots of Fire, and he have made some other crap in the same vein, but he have actually made...

Yeah, Crack in the Cosmic Egg have an huge blind spot when it comes to (proto) techno, it seems to underrate Göttschings E2-E4 in a somewhat similar way: "Nowadays it's amusing to note that, it has since become a benchmark of ambient and techno fans!" Most revealing of all, though, is their...

Larson (real name Klaus Netzle) have made unfathomable amounts of records, a lot of them library records, and a lot of them not that good (some actually rather dull). My personal favorites are: Environment, Surroundings, Climax and especially High-Tech. The cover notes of Climax claim: The whole...

Yeah, I have it. It's pretty much like basic 70s Tangerine Dream. OK, but nothing I couldn't live without. Bauman tried to go electro pop in the early eighties, with horrible/hillarious results. I'm a sucker for the kind of ultra-synthetic pseudo-Numan kitch he made on Repeat Repeat. One of the...

Deuter is brilliant, highly underrated I think. Personally I rate him as high as Neu and Faust. His first lp, D, is the most kraut-rocky, and great, but probably not that representative. The rest is New Age for sure. The early stuff is where he shines, Haleakala and Celebration in particular...

I think this list confirm what I've always felt anyway: rock is crap.
