pianos in techno tracks - love or hate?

[el salvador]

the piano has been around for long time now, and from its making, is still being used in the most up to the date music.

do you love them? hate them? or maybe you are just thinking they are ok

[MARKEG]

well when used properly any sound can sound good. i really liked a joris voorn track a while back that had a piano in it.

as for piano's in hard techno imho i think you've have to really distort the hell out of it to make a piano sound good.

it would be quite hard to make a piano line fit in hard techno and it's probably why it's not done all that often.

i like the andrew mclauchlan love story track.

usually i wouldnt go for a happy piano riff! but as Mark said, once used properly it can definatley sound good.

off the top of my head I can think of
DaveClarke - Red 2 rmx
Player - Player Ten
Jeff Mills - Changes Of Life

that all use pianos to good effect without distorting them.

reversed pianos sound good imo

[alsynthe]

an obi track that uses a piano on comressed label is good

Im going ff the subject a little here but RZA from the Wu Tang Clan is a wicked producer.
I love some of those grooves(if you can call them that)he makes, Can be very inspiring.

Anyway pianos

As mark says any sound can sound good if you make it that way or use it in the right context.
