about 94/95 i was discovering 1 or 2 mind altering substances![]()
listening to mostly chems/underworld etc.. didnt really know what techno was at the time. went into the local record shop one day and the guy behind the counter gave me this second hand cd someone had traded in. said i'd love it. turned out to be chris liberators "prolekulture! mix.. i got home and put it straight on.. BAM ****.. WHAT THE HELL..
it was like discovering rock'n'roll!!! i must have listened to it 100 times that day.. just sitting staring at the socialist imagery on the cover..
thats what i love about techno.. the tingles, the feeling of discovering something new, the idea that if i played it to my mum she'd have a heart attack and try have me commited.
to me, music that inspires is also music that offends. music that makes other people wonder have you lost the plot.. theres something very exciting about understanding whats going on in a track when everyone else just thinks its noise.
thankfully that feeling i got back then has never left me. to this day, every time i get a new track that i love, i get this weird feeling that somethings not quite right about this music, yet everything is right about it for me..
i guess it boils down to the old "i discovered it first feeling" that all music lovers get. you know when you put a record on and make your m8s listen to it b4 telling them proudly that its a limited press by some obscure producer but it sounds like it should be played at every club forever!!!!
waffle over.. im now going to go dig out "avin it 1" and dance around my sittin room till im dizzy :cheese:
