But it was around 1995/96 that I really started discovering what is traditionally called "techno", and it all comes down to two soundtracks:
Hackers:
- Orbital
- Underworld
- The Prodigy
- Kruder & Dorfmeister
- Leftfield
- Carl Cox
- Stereo MC's

haha you called it. Hackers was a magical movie for me when i was a kid. I spent countless nights listening to new music I had just discovered and reading networking txt files till my eyes bled.

KLF freaking rule. They're currently in an active boycott of all things art. They decided in 92 to start firing blank machine guns at their audience at the BRIT awards and dispose of a dead sheep at the afterparty as their announcement for their departure from music. This is about 3 or 4 years after they wrote the Manual on how to make a #1 hit the easy way.

Chemmies got really big shortly after I really got into Prodigy. I never saw this video though until much later after Dig Your Own Hole's release. I always looked at them as the people who truly mastered what The Prodigy pioneered. Over ten years later, I still stand by that assertion (mainly because they're still putting together QUALITY records and I haven't been able to get on with Prodigy since FotL)

PUMP UP THE JAM > MOVE THIS

Coolest moment for me of last summer (06) was at Spanish Banks on Labour Day Monday morning, Team Trainwreck (Dr Jones I think?) dropping Pump Up The Jam just as the sun breaks on the horizon.

Ace of Base - Beautiful Life

I FUCKING SAID IT OK.. I LIKE THAT TRACK!

I pretty much hated everything else that came out of AoB, but Beautiful Life was fun.
