One Night in Hackney has been and gone I think, it was definatly a tune of the moment but I don't think it'll still be getting big licks a year from now.
Sad thing is I don't think there is anything these days really coming out that I think will be a stick around bona fide classic. I think it's got something to with there being more diversity in the scene these days, people have picked their own little tastes and we don't have the sort of general consensus of a classic track like we used to have.
Si Begg - Sound Equipment (Sativae)
well on its way already.
I1m not sure there will be any classics, in the sense of say, The Bells, or Energy Flash or whatever.
As these were early, pioneering tunes released during the height of a scene.
There will be some good tunes, and there have been some over the last few years, but I doubt any that will retain any historical significance I`m afraid.
aeox - richardfamous album
aka richandfamous :lol:
I tend to agree.Quote:

I reckon Miss kittin & the Hackers - First Album - IDG will be a future classic, I already consider it a classic myself
WOOh! WOOH! WOO! What about Al Ferox effekt hypnotique '02? Thats a fukkin classic(three years..I know!)Quote:

He is the men that change the way of sound. But I do love that dirty Ferox sound too. Nasssttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyy! :clap:Can't wait for MJ :clap: !!!
good point.Quote:

my favorite dancefloor record of the past 5 years is secret cinema "revenge of a nerd." it's an amazing piece of work, but it's never going to be classic because its listenership and influence is way too small.

haha.
Yeah. But how many other great records came out around the same time as say Strings etc and dont get half the attention.Future nostalgia and a good feeling as a whole is way better road for techno rather than trying to create/label a few tracks as 'classic'.
2011 more like!Quote:

trying to anticipate impact is a loser proposition, and making music primarily in order to become popular most often saps productions of quality.
i harp on this a lot here, but i'll say it again...i think if producers just tried to make music rather than create something they've pre-ordained will be hard-techno or electro or funky-acid-schranz-core or whatever, we'd get a lot more quality and a lot less cookie-cutter material. more quality=greater potential for classics to emerge.
I disagree but I think I disagree with some people's view of classic and what it takes to be a 'classic'. To me a classic is a great tune that you will play twenty years down the line and be proud of, and also something thats unique to a point. That to me doesn't necessarily mean the most original concept or a record released at height of the scene, to me its a great tune head and shoulders above any form of music released at the time. By the way if we are talking sales then here is a note(Vitalic Poney EP according to tioneb 20000 in France alone, and been played by alot of djs and also miss kittin and the hacker album sales 50000 worldwide and brought in a whole new scene and the movement influenced the salon style make-overs :lol: !) So it had a cultural impact maybe not through musically but maybe muletly :twisted: But some of that music in that era I say 00-01 had some great music and brought in a new genre that still exists today. Just because some people were not part of that scene doesn't mean it didn't exist. I think people are looking too hard and making things more complicated then it should be. Sorry to say this but I've heard about the strings, mills, now in a sense about apex or dave the drummer so many times it kind of gets tiresome after a while. A great tune is a great no matter what. I've think its a personal opinion of what that is. I also think artist might make electro tunes or techno tunes not because they want to fit into a category but maybe thats what they love the most. Like a nme bands such as bloc party release a tune similiar to mbv because they like that band and are influenced by it. Cheer up people and just stop thinking about mathematics of it all!
the X-booty001 track has gotta be in there somewhere, great tune!
At the end of this thread can we have the top 10 future classics listed so I can then buy 10 of each then bang them on ebay in 5 years at £30 a pop.
Thanks
What one mans classic track is another mans ashtray. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
that's a good point, and i think what you describe is probably more relevant to today's electronic music scene than searching for the next strings of life. i mean, the more labels, the more producers, the more chance there is for individual variation in what people listen to and what people regard as personal classics.Quote:

this was one of a small number of records that:
a) have a widespread musical AND cultural impact
b) are/were widely listened to/played out
c) change the way people think about this music (even if in a small way)
and
d) are generally acknowledged as having done these three things
that's a classic, as far as i see it.
