which tracks have been the most influential for you?

**SlavikSvensk** · 23-05-2005, 10:11 PM

the "is joey beltram the father of hard techno" tangent on the "local" thread made me wonder what tracks got people into hard techno...the possibilities are huge, so maybe people limit to 5 or fewer?

...for me those would be:

F.U.S.E. - "substance abuse"
jeff mills - "reverting"
joey beltram - "energy flash"
surgeon - "badger bite"
red planet - "journey to the martian polar cap"

HOLD ON::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

All the trax you've all mentioned are unbelievable --------------------

Surely this is subjective ??

I could mention so many.

But the fact is UR and Belgium really created hard techno.

Again, subjective hahahahahaha.

Keep listing your faves ;)

Fantastic topic. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

It`s not about who created it, it`s what got you into hard techno.
I skipped the whole roots of techno and came in via harsh industrial electronica, ebm, electro, metal and industrial.

**wrong** · 24-05-2005, 01:17 AM

Autonation - sit on the bass (RNS)
Tricky Disco - Tricky Disco (warp)
Lost - technofunk (perfecto)
Charles B - lack of love
zsa zsa la boum - something scary
Almost anything on hithouse especially problem house, meng syndicate and holy noise

and yes, its an unfair thread as there are so many records that deserve proper credit but.....hmm, maybe i'll get another username and sneak on later with some more....

yeah, i meant this as more of personal list of what hard techno tracks were the most important to everyone, rather than a "who started hard techno" thread...that one got beat to death recently ;)

and to sunil...i couldn't agree with you more!

A good percentage of hard techno today traces back to Mills and UR, definitely.

Hmm, it's interesting the relationship between hard techno, hardcore and Belgium... then you've got Acardipaine... jaysus, this is hairy stuff :)

Oh, just forgot... this the "most influential" to me, not a top 5... Hmm, better do a rain check on that one
