Liking this kind of techno as its not loop based

[davethedrummer]

i heard it out the other week
and i musct say on a good rig its a corker
but the edits get really tiresome after a while
if i had to listen to more than 2 or three tracks of it i'd go crazy
probably throw a bottle at the dj or something

[dirty_bass]

Yeah, I gotta agree, it`s all very well from a chin scratchers point of view, but dance music needs repetition, if not loops, then programmed.
This is a groove killer, and although clever, it just doesn`t make the booty shake.

[eyeswithoutaface]

genuinely found this awful. the original isnt that great and this is just annoying, those edit's are just too much, id really honestly rather hear a well programmed looper than that, this just doesnt settle down into a groove at all and feel's uneasy

[Si the Sigh]

I like it. Prefer this remix over the original.

[oldbugger]

that would confuse the dancers

[Si the Sigh]

...but impress the beard stroking massive?

[1992]

Wow this is extremely phat! It sounds like it was difficult to make. I might get this.

Would it confuse dancers? Only if they're autistic.

[eyeswithoutaface]

the productions good obviously but there is no groove whatsoever, so there's no point really

[dan the acid man]

yep, it has to have an underlying groove

[The Divide]

Instructions...

1.Listen for the kick drum

2.Move to it

happy to hear that beyer is not exclusively minimal, but this tune does lack 'the groove'. interesting, but i wouldnt bat an ear if i heard it in a club

Sounds ok to me, and who says it has no groove? Of course it does, it just happens to be broken up a bit...

Yeah, good inventive programming for sure, nothing wrong with this one at all.

[Si the Sigh]

Word! Agree 100% with Sunil ^

[1992]

What are you guys on? There certainly is a groove, and a damn funky one if I should say so myself.

[dirty_bass]

It`s too rigid to be funky.
It`s like the whitest man in worlds version of breakbeat, with a bit of gurn stuck on top.

[rhythmtech]

i think this is a great tune. i played it very first in my set @ drummer gig last week and the crowd got into it. it is very edgy and broken but that can be nice.

[Fordy]

I like it.

[eyeswithoutaface]

it's not funky or groovy in the slightest, its all about the kick and the edits, certainly not a groove you can settle down into, or the track itself could settle down into. No one's denying great production, but devoid of any real shake your ass funkiness. This is a fair bit old now anyway isnt it? There's more groove in Beyer's minimal stuff certainly

[marginmaster]

yeah it sounds alright, although give me some unoriginal banging loops over that anyday ;)
