I've become really into techno music lately but only know one band so far that I like, Daft Punk. Anyone know of some good techno bands/songs?

You could try typing in Techo on Limewire? I mean... YouTube 'techo' and then buy songs you like off of iTunes.

Use ironyimpact.com for YouTube? It worked at school for a while, and their filter it pretty good, so it might work for you.

Relatively sure that's how you spell it. It could be down.

Well more of a beat then a song with lyrics. Something kinda upbeat, does that help?

Well, definitely get that Prodigy album then. I like 'Far from the maddening crowds' by Chicane, but it might be a bit baleric for most people's tastes. 'Exit Planet Dust' by the Chemical Brothers would be a good choice too.
See if you can get the soundtrack to Wipeout 2097 (the computer game). It's got a selection of stuff on there by different artists and it might help you refine the sort of thing you're looking for. -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

QUOTE (Mata @ May 27 2008, 01:52 PM) Well, definitely get that Prodigy album then Yes. 'Jilted Generation' is one of the few absolutely perfect dance albums out there. I'd add Basement Jaxx's 'Remedy' for something a bit housier, and Pendulum's 'Hold Your Colour' for a drum & bass flavour. In fact, combine the first and last of these and enjoy this almighty bastardo. For individual tracks, you need to at least hear Air War by Crystal Castles - it's a damn peach. Odd fan vid, though... -------------------- the end is nice |

Techno is a tricky one. As a genre, it's in rude health, but I think what you're broadly after is these days under the electronica umbrella.
Claro Intellecto and Matthew Dear's Audion alias will do you for actual techno, and I've been enjoying some Move D off the internets recently. You'd probably do well to check out anything on Spectral. If you're enjoying Daft Punk, I will echo the recommendations of Prodigy, Justice and Crystal Castles. For Chemical Brothers, I'd recommend Dig Your Own Hole and Surrender over Exit Planet Dust, but that's just me. You may find plenty to enjoy by 65daysofstatic, on account of them being simply awesome. Also, Battles, who are the perfect electronic/rock/jazz hybrid. My favourite electronic record last year was Moog Acid, a collaboration between 60s pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey and Cornish legend Luke Vibert. I'd call that essential listening. And then there's the Warpening; your essential albums are Richard D James Album - Aphex Twin Hard Normal Daddy Big Loada Go Plastic Hello Everything - Squarepusher (not the complete catalogue, but the most accessible releases) For Beginner Piano - Plone Music Has The Right To Children Geogaddi - Boards of Canada Empty the Bones of You Body Riddle - (Chris) Clark If you can ever get your hands on an album called My Mines I by Kristuit Salu Vs Morris Nightingale, do. It should be easy to download, but trickier to get an actual physical copy. Anyway, it's blinding. Oh, and finally, hit up 8bitpeoples for awesome 8-bit/Game Boy/chiptune downloads. Just use them responsibly, unlike Crystal Castles. QUOTE (Novander @ May 24 2008, 11:05 AM) Ooh. Ouch. Like, really? Really really? I mean, if we're separating out whole genres into "good" and "bad", which in itself is a concept I have serious problems with, the best you could come up with was "post-emo"? |

My all-time favourite band is definitely Future Sound Of London, which count as electronica, but I suspect might not fit into the 'techno' description if Daft Punk appeal.
DD, good call on The Chemical Bros: 'Dig Your Own Hole' is their best album and was the one I meant to type if it wasn't for random neurones being out playing tennis. A few tracks by Orbital that are worth finding: Belfast, Halcyon, Style. My personal favourite album is 'Middle of Nowhere', but general consensus seems to prefer 'In Sides'. They have lyrics, but Faithless have done some good floorfillers over the years and I think they're worth a look (although in moderation because they can be a bit samey). -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

And I think it was the Rephlexions comp that made me go out and get Super-User by Yee King, which is a bloody wonderful little album. |
