I say DJ Pooch "Let the bass roll". [/b][/quote]

fo sho!! awsome track!

check out "hold your head up high" by boris dlugosch-sick track

and pretty much any of "BIG ANG"

[dj jakub]

let the bass roll is probablly one of the best tracks. Although there are a lot of classics which are probablly more famous that would get most of the attention.

It's the same fucking bassline in every single track!!!!

I am being neither closed minded or uneducated. I am making a perfectly valid comment, THE BASSLINES ARE THE FUCKING SAME!!!!

Why do you think people get tired of speed garage so quickly? It's because it becomes a monotonous stream of the SAME ROLLING BASSLINE!!!

Another genre that comes to mind in this category of having the SAME BASSLINES, is jump up, it stays interesting for about a couple of tracks and then just blends into the SAME BASSLINE.

Maybe someonelse here needs a bit more educating on the subject.

now if I was to pick, I'd have to agree with myra 187 Lockdown - KungFu, but only if it's done accapella around a campfire.

there was never one good speed garage tracks

SPEED GARAGE IS GAY WANK

[Van Tek]

hi guys, my name's jim and I never have anything positive to say about any genre of music, ever (or for that matter, anything positive to say at all)
is there anything you enjoy or are you just some kind of strange elitist who can only stress the things you don't like?
the argument "all the basslines are the same" is about as valid as saying that "all rock music sounds the same because they all use guitars and vocal choruses" or "all trance riffs sound the same"
if you actually took more than 2 seconds to listen to more than one speedgarage track, you'd realize that the basslines are widely varied and only sound the same because they're speedgarage basslines and the unifomity of the bassline is what makes it a GENRE... SPEEDGARAGE
if they all used completely different styles, they wouldn't be speedgarage anymore, they'd be house, or hardhouse, or prog, or any number of other genres you could create with a 4 by 4 beat
as for me needing an education, I'd consider devoting the last 4 years of my life to music to be a pretty good start (insert jim's lame comment about that here _______)
in any case, when you have something useful to contribute to a topic, feel free to add your input, but I don't think I've seen one comment from you in any topic I've read that hasn't been about how much you hate the genre of music being discussed and why you think it's crap...

[ppcock]

Hi jim im marty.. I remember you from such parties as hitting mark paul with a rubix cube.

I've been listening to electronic since I was 13. After 7 years there's no other worse form of electronic music than speed garage.

the real jim is a techno junkie and him and some other people helped me see the good side of various sub genres of techno. I feel that the real jim know's his music.

"if they all used completely different styles, they wouldn't be speedgarage anymore, they'd be house, or hardhouse, or prog, or any number of other genres you could create with a 4 by 4 beat"

yes.. we know.. speed garage is all the same and therefore it sucks ass.

AND WHAT THE FUCK IS A TRANCE RIFF?

[Van Tek]

aw man now I have to lay it down one time for ppcock, too
first of all, if you don't know what a riff is, don't claim to be knowledgable in the ways of music
second of all, if you think speedgarage is the worst form of electronic music, then you must not be listening to much electronic music, that or you haven't heard any good speedgarage yet and therefore based your opinion on your limited knowledge of the genre

"'if they all used completely different styles, they wouldn't be speedgarage anymore, they'd be house, or hardhouse, or prog, or any number of other genres you could create with a 4 by 4 beat'

yes.. we know.. speed garage is all the same and therefore it sucks ass."
the point I was trying to make there, which you so adequately ignored, was that every genre is made up of tracks that sound roughly similar to eachother, hence creating a genre of music for all tracks within that genre to conform to
trance tracks are called trance tracks because they sound like trance tracks and contain similar elements that allow them to be grouped into the genre of trance
same with any other genre out there
including techno
apparently while listening to electronic music for 7 years, you've never actually bothered to learn anything about how it's made, so take a hint and don't flaunt your lack of knowledge in a pathetic attempt to prove a point that lacks any purpose aside from pissing off people who enjoy a style of music that you may not necessarily like

About the only thing that you got right in that last statement was my name. I have a vast appreciation of music. I also reserve the right to comment on various genres that aren't my favourites. It doesn't mean that I have no appreciation for the work that goes into them.

ever (or for that matter, anything positive to say at all)

What misleaded sheltered life you live. But to quote Forrest Gump, " Stupid is, as stupid does.", don't blame others follies on me, I merely bring them to light.

is there anything you enjoy or are you just some kind of strange elitist who can only stress the things you don't like?

That ship has already sailed, right here.

the argument "all the basslines are the same" is about as valid as saying that "all rock music sounds the same because they all use guitars and vocal choruses"

The key is the arrangment, the variety of these arrangments do not allow the music to become stagnant like the formulaic approach that happens in a majority of speed garage that was produced.

or "all trance riffs sound the same"

See above.

if you actually took more than 2 seconds to listen to more than one speedgarage track, you'd realize that the basslines are widely varied and only sound the same because they're speedgarage basslines and the unifomity of the bassline is what makes it a GENRE... SPEEDGARAGE

Which in turn causes it to become a stagnant genre, you my friend just proved the point that I was making. It's a formula that grows tiresome rather quickly.

[b]if they all used completely different styles, they wouldn't be speedgarage anymore, they'd be house, or hardhouse, or prog, or any number of other genres you could create with a 4 by 4 beat[/b

The issue here is not about changing, or the fact that they should change things. The issue is because there is no variety that it makes it absolutely mundane, and rather boring in prolonged lengths.

as for me needing an education, I'd consider devoting the last 4 years of my life to music to be a pretty good start (insert jim's lame comment about that here _______)

By all means, good on you. But the last thing I want to do is turn this into a pissing contest, as I've been listening to "electronica" while you were still in grade school. Actually even long before that through various family members home studio's, and basically growing up in the UBC music department. So I'd say my background when it comes to music is pretty secure. But that is not what all of this is about.

in any case, when you have something useful to contribute to a topic, feel free to add your input, but I don't think I've seen one comment from you in any topic I've read that hasn't been about how much you hate the genre of music being discussed and why you think it's crap...

Aaaaw, it seems like someone is all bent out of shape. I'm not the only one that feels the same about this genre. And not once did I say "I HATE SPEED GARAGE!!!!", I don't mind it in small doses, as I've previously stated that becomes rather boring, rather quickly.

Cheque please!

[ppcock]

sure I have and im currently working on how to make music.

I've heard of guitar riffs is that what you mean?

lets do trance for an example (basically i think speed garage sucks because it does all sound the same) now take two trance records. I will gurantee you there is no trance tracks that sound exactly the same. trance is to provide the listener with a euphoric sound and take a listener through a journey. I have heard many speed garage sets that dont do this. People become bored with the sets 15 minutes in and change into other rooms of a party.

how the hell can a dj spin speed garage for an hour+ without getting bored. there's no variety in the tracks to build some sort of set. its all dirty wank.

My opinion here is neither cared for or listened so I will discontinue my rant... because.. well.. none of you really give two shits.

[jim]

[ppcock]

i agree with jimbo

its good in very small doses.

throw a set of 5 minutes speedgarage then go into breaks and then into dnb. you're my fav dj.

[Van Tek]

and you felt that it was so necessary to force your beliefs of speedgarage distaste upon all those of us who enjoy it? personally I don't think speedgarage is the best genre in the world either, but I've heard some amazingly bomb speedgarage and I won't hesitate to give props to speedgarage tracks and producers for doing a damn good job of getting my ass shaking... you on the other hand seem to feel that it's necessary to stress all the worst factors of each genre being discussed on this forum... why don't you try coming up with reasons that music is good, as opposed to picking it apart until you may as well just be saying "I hate this music because I think it's crap and that's what it's all about"
so speedgarage basslines are roughly similar in each speedgarage track... there are also speedgarage basslines that are mind-blowingly different
plus almost every genre of music has at least one element in all tracks within that genre that sounds the same throughout the whole track, hence creating the capability to group it into a genre of music, aka speedgarage with its basslines, trance with its melodies, progressive with its progressing addition of riffs, hardhouse with its simplistic bass and high end synths, the list goes on and on
my point is that saying 'all speedgarage sounds the same' is a completely and utterly useless comment and you have to be pretty ignorant to make a comment like that for no other reason than to appease your own ego and put other people down, or whatever you rationalize as your reason for making such a worthless and arrogent comment
if you can't make comments that are worth reading, then don't make comments at all

[Van Tek]

LoL @ owned

first of all, nearly all the comments you made were lame and made very little sense, second of all, you didn't really get any point across, aside from "I'm a big fat dink" by making all those comments

[jim]

It's ok, I'm sure your mother still loves you.
