You have to be kidding me.

The new Pirate Audio record rocks it, all three tunes imo, so I wouldn't judge Ignician Technician on one B.Side thats obviously been written tongue in cheek...

one word:

disposable.

that's what so much techno has become. disposable, thrown together samples with a kickin' bassline. hot for the next week's release list, then doomed to the dustbin of boredom (but not history for the most part). i know we can't write classics every time, but at least a bit more effort would be nice. that's really what i would like to see. something that stands on its own as a tune, rather than wasting more petroleum-based vinyl (yup...i said it...the oil thirst supplies our vinyl life's blood as well) to press a record that's forgotten in a week.

the disposability of techno is what's killing it. that's my story, and i'm stickin' to it.

None of you can front that what she is saying is not right.

[SlavikSvensk]

to sum up the past three pages: the track is crap, though the guys who made it are not, while people from yorkshire spell sh*t funny.

that shite is funny.

Sounds awful...

Wilko has made some good techno in his time but I really don't know what he's up to with stuff like this. WHO is this aimed at ?

Personally, I'm only digging on Dj Deeon's version off of 'deeon doez disco' (dance mania)
And that's like, hmmmm, about 10 years old or something. And it's better.

>WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??<

Also, isn't it funny how we have the whole language to sample yet the same words crop up OVER AND OVER AGAIN ?

Come on guys, at least dig a little !

I'm with SOS on this one, 100%. Don't want to seem negative but I really don't see how stuff like this is helping anyone, let alone Wilko.

i have to disagree a little. we dont need classics EVERYTIME. sometimes (for playing out especially) filler tracks are better to mix with. they give you more scope to work with. (but i do agree that maximum effort should be put into every track, even the ones you know will never be the next "energy flash")

At least it's not as bad as Schnappy da crocodile............

"Reet", surely?

Come on Dan, pick your game up... ;)

[dan the acid man]

i was going to type it all in proper yorkshire, but i'd just end up confusing everybody, plus i dont actually speak like that, im not from barnsley tha knows :lol:

no i agree. loopy hard techno is shite. with or without 2pac samples

[massplanck]

No one is above critique.

People who post regularily on BOA are though.

Would I get banned if thought the singularity was shit & lazy for instance? Or can i now start slagging Dave the Drummers tracks on here?

I say ignore the shit music & stop preaching to the converted SOS. Crap music has no place on here & thus crap music threads dont either. Sure we can pass comment but the amount of "hey look! hey look! look how crap this track is & this the reason techno is dead & dying from TB & AIDS!" threads are ten a penny on here sometimes.

[SlavikSvensk]

here's one that will cut to the bone...MOST tracks are crap. no, that's not fair. most tracks are MEDIOCRE, which is how i would describe this one. so we don't like it, we think the fine folks from IT can do better, dan the acid man might not be a real yorkshireman, as evidenced by his refusal to use the words "nowt" and "reet."

TIME TO MOVE ON PEOPLE

[dan the acid man]

yeah, this threads run its course i think

Also: who on earth wants "filler tracks"? The whole point is that a DJ should be playing the very best possible records, and working out a suitable way to present them. "Filler tracks" are what come on free CD's - a DJ (or performer) should always strive to play the very best music available - not rely on MEDIOCRE ;) fodder to help them mix better.
You could potentially light some very explosive touchpaper by saying things like that (generally, not personally you rhythmtech), because there is always a rather hefty chunk of personal opinion involved in discussions like these - what you may consider to be a useful mixing record, some people may dismiss in the same kind of way as the record that this thread is all about has been.

The most pertinent point on this thread is the oil one though ( :clap: ) - and just think, there's far worse genres of music out there that are wasting our precious resources.

[rhythmtech]

maybe filler was the wrong word for me to use. a tools track is probably a better explanation. you know what i mean.. one of those tracks that on its own is solid but nothin totally amazing but when mixed with something it just takes on a new meaning.
