I cant remember the very first tune I heard that really got me interested, but I suppose hearing NIN - Sin for the first time probably helped, and the first dance music purchase I made was the Lords of Acid album Voodoo U.

I strongly remember a track by Utah Saints called "Somthing good"
Also a 808 state track with a sample in that was somthing like out of a western?? violins etc....?? not sure what it was called. & a track call "Das Boot" im sure all of these tracks had somthing to do with me getting into it all, i remember them giving me a rite buzz at the time!!

i suppose my first ever electronic song i liked was MARS pump up the volume.

i remember asking for that song for a christmas present, my unlce bought me one of those chart hit tapes with it on, there was also a track on there with the sample "Put the needle on the record, and the drum beat goes like this".
i had to play mars, then fast forward all the way to the end to listen to the other track :lol:

cant remember who did that though

Found this in a charity shop the other week, on vinyl, on NOW 10 or something.

Yeah, "Das Boot" was by U 96, that was a nice tune. "I Wanna Be A Kennedy" was another good one of theirs too!

Too much music I had on tapes and stuff, but didn't always know the names. I think the radio was still the major place I'd hear stuff and record it if I liked it.

Rave wise I guess Messiah, Prodigy, KLF and others... The whole visual/ psychedelic aspect of rave or electronic music videos on TV really buzzed me, the music seemed to have so much depth, it was the ultimate package both sonically and visually. I guess my path into techno came from German and Dutch hardcore techno, as well as UK hardcore and jungle.
