Re: Techno?

The best techno song is Sandstorm by Darude. Other good ones are the Mortal Kombat theme, Streamline by Newton.

Re: Techno?

Artists I recommend: Trance - Paul Oakenfold, DJ Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren

.......

I recommend Chicane for both downtempo trance and trance/house.

If you think that's the best techno song, you have a LOT of listening to do.
It is pretty good, but there is a lot of better stuff out there. a LOT.

personally, i like gabber

its really hard to find any though.

happy hardcore is also great

if you want a big mix of music, and you feel like paying, get the Happy Hardcore Album

Type Happy Hardcore into amazon, and it'll show up

its 6 cds of all sorts of stuff. not only happy hardcore. its pretty darn good.

go there ---->http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html
it explains everything.

Re: Techno?

And IMO, paul oakenfold is a bit too down paced.

but if you do like that, try Paul van Dyk

Re: Techno?

Snapple if those are your best picks then you have no idea what true techno is. I'm sorry if that sounds elitist but it's true. Darude is fine for DDR, but is nothing compared to the likes of Venetian Snares, The Flashbulb, Aphex Twin, Emotional Joystick, etc.

Xander, you want good gabber you try DJ Sharpnel. His Gabber is always sexy.

Paul Oakenfield is just.....bleh.

Yeah well im entitled to my opinion,Ive heard the other Techno artists and I think their junk, most people Ive talked to enjoy Sandstorm and Ive never heard anyone diss the MK theme.

/disagree

I have a couple gigs worth of 96Kbps music, and it sounds fine. Let's let him decide if it sounds good.

You have no ears. Get an actual sound system of some sort.

Also: Ignore everything else said in this thread and download Venetian Snares - Making Orange Things. Greatest album of all time.

Re: Techno?

Be aware that using Streamripper results in craptastic sounding MP3s, because you're saving them from <128 kbps streams. Radio bitrates are fine on the radio, but they're a joke if you're actually collecting songs.

Anything higher than 128 kbps is a waste of space on my harddrive. To me there's hardly any difference with a song that has higher bitrates. Now if I had a harddrive that could store a lot, yes I wouldn't mind that extra space, but I'm running on a 70 GB harddrive here and I'm not the only one in my family who uses this computer.

128 kbps is perfect IMO. 96 kbps is fine, too, there's pretty much no difference.

Re: Techno?

Yeah, all the mp3s on my computer at 64 kbps...but that's because I am deaf and it doesnt really matter since I cant hear the music...all that matters is that people on Last.fm know that I listen to a lot of Animal Collective thus making me very hip.

Re: Techno?

On the topic of techno, do any of you have songs that sound like untitled gabber song?

I really like the song, and want more songs like it.

Re: Techno?

Snapple you have to understand that Sandstorm isn't thebest song ever.

Hi, I used to have nothing except a 40 gig harddrive. I still downloaded everything at the highest quality I could find.

Also, 128 kbps is the lowest possible quality that you can actually listen to. Anything below it sounds like random noise. Also, even finding a bunch of junk at 128 kbps is impossible anyway, because pretty much all releases done by an actual group and not some random dude in his basement nowadays are 320, vbr, or lossless. I don't know how you would even get an entire collection of mp3s at that low of quality, unless you use Kazaa* or some ****.

I get all of my music from BitTorrent or Soulseek, so yeah. Absolutely no idea where you're finding this low-quality crap.

Oh, and disc space is negligible when dealing with mp3s anyway. A 320 mp3 might be like... 2 megs bigger than a 128 one for a short song. The longer the song is, the bigger the filesize, obviously, but that's where VBR comes in.

Anyway you're dumb.

*if you actually use Kazaa, kill yourself
