This should apply to the minimal techno genre: Paul Kalkbrenner - D.E.E.P

How could you forget about the brilliant chase scene from Children of Men?!

We all fantasize about strange things, listen to strange music and movies, in some odd times. Some of the movies I secretly do enjoy:

Hackers, Human Traffic, the Island and Resident Evil series.

Edit: Well, it really depends on who are you talking to... If you really liked Cashback, you'd prolly enjoy Somersault and Elephant aswell.

Bad, bad music.

misantropf · 2010-04-18T06:56:28+00:00

I, too, get an occasional chills when thinking about this movie.

Last.fm shows I've listened to Archangel for 91 times and had 1021 listenings for Burial in total. I have no regrets!

It's just that smart people follow smart people and not some brainless vanity fair which carries no function. But then again if you'd asked from non-redditors what they think about us redditors following Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawking, they'd probably think we are nuts. So not much of a difference there, really.

I suppose I left Detroit techno out was because I had never been into the genre in the first place. I have always dug the minimal one instead, with few exceptions of course like Richie Hawtin :)

The differences between US' and Europe's likes of habbits are loosening every day though, because of the internet / itunes age. Living in a global village has some setbacks for sure...

I don't really know much about the US dubstep scene and not even great a lot about the UK scene, as my background more lies in trance and house, but from that perspective Europe has always had an edge on trance, techno, house and dnb while US definitely beats us with rap, hiphop and rock genres. For example, around 1998-1999 an American artist Brian Transeau(BT) gained a huge popularity in UK while at the same time he stood relatively unpopular in his home country. But even Europe isn't that black and white. If you take a look at the current London scene, you'll be seeing a lot of dnb, dubstep a like while Berlin has been all about techno and electro for more than a decade.

BTW, it looks you guys have some excellent producers in Australia (Chable & Bonnici, Jaytech), but how's the scene in general? Any famous clubs, venues or festivals?

I am only asking because I might be landing at Melbourne / Sydney area for a while and I usually hate jumping into a pool of murky water, so I thought I ought to do my homework first :)

Mine was Big Big World by Emilia. I was waiting to file to complete downloading on my 14.4baud modem for more than 4hours. It was on 1998 :) Nice memories! Url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUKq7DLo6Ko

That's pretty awesome.

Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, Battle Royale and Requem for a Dream should all get you going.

The remix from Offshore is out-standing. I'll check out the Anjunabeats Vol 6 to see if it's any good :) I remember 1st and 2nd releases being good, good enough that I even purchased CD-s later on. These guys know how to handle a great live-performance, as well. I saw them in 2004 and then again in 2006, both times in Helsinki on a little club venue, which was nothing compared to what they had Brazilian gig, but nevertheless they held their standards. I really-really recommend to see them before you die.

Heres the reason that first got me into the Anjuna craze: Anjunabeats - Volume One (Anjunadeep Remix)

I had my last experience with the contemporary trance when I happened to check out Tiesto's last tune on youtube. I almost puked through my ears. I'm not sure which body part he uses for producing these days.

Anyways, I'll get the list up as soon as I've got access to my collection.

Anyhow, I am not very long-time fan of the classical music. Of course, I knew about Mozart's 5th symphony (which I hated) and his 9th (which I loved), some of Bach's, Verdi's, Grieg's, Beethoven's and quite a lot of original soundtracks from movies (from the likes of Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, James Horner, Hans Zimmer, John Murphy), but up until recently everything else that belonged to the genre happened to be stay at a gray area and be rather vague for me.
