Solitary by nature.
Isolation is the gift.
Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

My route to techno was a bit different. I was always a speedfreak as a kid so I went through happy hardcore, through gabber, into hard techno (Scorpio, Producer etc) and then into Speedcore (Loftgroover, HMS, Bezerker etc) Then it struck me that techno records at 250 -300BPM don't actually make much sense, and after a while it all just sounds like...noise?!
I chilled out a bit, slowed down a bit, and looked for production quality and atmosphere instead of just speed. Got into people like Mills, Clarke etc, and then my fate was sealed!

yeah i'm gulity! although i went a bit wonky on the way. back at school i was into ion maiden, MSG, scorpions etc.. then got into electro. after that i wasn't into much of anything. in 1992 RAVE, then came the commercial clubs and as many slappers as you could pick up in 1 night.
then got into trance followed shorthly by tech trance, then onto NRG, HH AND TECHNO. I like most types of music and tend to end up at a HH event but my heart lies into techno!

I was never a massive fan of really hard death metal styles, but hard rock led me to more industrial sort of stuff (NIN, White Zombie, Ministry) and then when I heard techno, I knew that it was for me. White Zombie remains as one of the best gigs I have ever been to, of any musical style, and Ministry are quite high as well. I went to the Ministry gig in Tie Dye, and got interviewed by this reporter guy who was following them around the country, I was the first person he had seen in like 10 gigs or something like that, who wasn't wearing nothing but black!

only really liked the sickest shit i could find. 14 years old and seeing extreme noise terror does something to you. after that i was trying to write metal on sequencers. i thought techno was gay hippy shit as thats all i'd ever heard from it. so moved into industrial as that was also sequenced and thought that was still a bit weak. for several years people kept on saying ooh you'll like this, and playing me goa trance!!! it was only until a while after that that i had mellowed down and found PROPER techno!!
I dont know. You give people freedom and what do the do with it?
WHATEVER THEY BLOODY WELL LIKE!

heavy metal just missed the boat when it came to style and apart from the Napalm end of the scale, was just high pitched girlie singing over soft-ass cords - nowt heavy about Iron Maiden, Ozzy or Helloween or any of the stuff I heard for that matter. I really don't like the word shite, so I won't.

I was well into my death and black metal before getting into dance music; stuff like Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Carcass, At The Gates, Emporer, Satyricon and so on. Still listen to it a lot, especially at work... got about 16 CDs of it next to me along with some old hardcore and speedcore stuff - Producer and Loftgroover :)
I like hard music :clap:
Vote techno party!
