upon hearing that i don't know any techno luke insists that i listen to this, highlighting that it's foundational in terms of the hardcore continuum:
Remember that the time barrier is always a failure of imagination on the part of the listener and never a failure of the music itself.
It was put forward as a way to demand more of ourselves as listeners not as a way to chuck history homework in the bin
to state the obvious, this is all Detroit techno. foundational, the origins, all great. but there's lots of other types of techno, some influenced by Detroit and some not.
cartoon physics would be my way of getting round the time barrier with this stuff. bouncy, stretchy and all that.
Well he can't listen to it all at once can he fucks sake! The lad has to start somewhere!
glad to see you've finally crawled out of your post-election hole, happy holidays to you as well!
great write ups but unfortunately 80s detroit techno is mostly superfluous to electronic music history. it's just a weird side show that a few resident advisor types have talked very loudly about since. chicago and nyc were where the really important developments occurred.
