well.....no even ever seems to mention ada "luckycharm", even though i do mention, always saying "no one ever mentions....."

i like blindhouse enough but that one is pure sweetness in a sad way

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 21 November 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

tuomas, i cant think what it could be. is the wirting in caps or lower case? could it be something like "ÀÐÐÎÖ"?

i cant think of any letters in russian that look like an "R", there is a "ß" but thats backwards.

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 21 November 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

Ada's 'And More' also

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Monday, 21 November 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

Ambrose, the name is in caps, and yeah, maybe the "R"s are backwards. I'll check it when I get home.

I think last time it was "techno tracks that make you cry", but I'm not sure if there's such a big difference.

I 2nd "The Illuminator" as probably the saddest (and on of the best) techno records of all time. Thanks for these lists!!

― Telegram Sam, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 02:16 (twenty years ago)

the b-sides on this old heiko laux 12 are gorgeous. And sad.

Jesse Somfay - "For One Brief Moment I Was There" = gray, spiralling sadness

― Dominique (dleone), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

You could say that about most of Somfay's material, too.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

i wish that i could kiss sadly to this music. but no one i know finds it beautiful, sad or anything really. well, no girls. not one girl anyway.

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

Poor Ambrose!

You'll have to think of her while you listen tearfully...

Anyway wanted to add:

Light In Darkness - YMO
Computerlove - Kraftwerk
Desire - 69
Electric Bedroom - Alter Ego
These Days - Petter

There was also a track on Movin' Melodies from 1995 that from memory had a very sad anthemic melody over a kind of HiNRG rhythm but I don't know its name...

― Telegram Sam, Wednesday, 23 November 2005 02:51 (twenty years ago)

more 69- Microlovr. basically Carl Craig is the king of this.

Christian Löffler - Young Alaska LP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWL4xRp5I8w

― davey, Friday, 5 December 2014 09:43 (eleven years ago)

I was mostly disappointed in that Christian Loeffler follow-up, the first album was insanely good though.

― boxedjoy, Friday, 5 December 2014 10:56 (eleven years ago)

I liked most of the Kiasmos album ok, but when things pick up near the end it gets rather messy and unnecesary loud imo, that was a bit of a let down. It's nice, but nowhere near as good as Lawrence or Pantha du Prince.

Agree Kiasmos gets a bit too loud too soon - I actually like the later tracks a lot, I would just have preferred the more relaxed atmosphere to last a little longer #chilloutroom4lyfe

Tried some Lawrence but it just doesn't emotionally engage me at all.

― ledge, Friday, 5 December 2014 11:12 (eleven years ago)

I can only think that you are listening to the wrong Lawrence ...

― djh, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:32 (eleven years ago)

I started to dive into Lawrence but grooveshark locked up and broke my browser so I'll queue it up again. I was really enjoying it (maybe one track before it quit)!!

― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:37 (eleven years ago)

i checked out a bunch on youtube and felt the same as ledge, it's really nice but felt a little too slick or hotel lounge-y for me.

― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 5 December 2014 18:39 (eleven years ago)

i often don't understand what you are looking for in electronic music, J

― (曇り) (clouds), Friday, 5 December 2014 18:48 (eleven years ago)

anyway "the night will last forever" is one of my favorite winter albums

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk6iJvEFgwk

― (曇り) (clouds), Friday, 5 December 2014 18:52 (eleven years ago)

i just have a real weird relationship with four-on-the-floor dance music, i don't listen to much of it. lush & pretty is good, but the stuff that really clicks tends to feel 'raw' and tactile in some way.

― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 5 December 2014 18:56 (eleven years ago)

Lawrence is so good in the winter.

― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 5 December 2014 19:07 (eleven years ago)

maybe it's the house basslines that undercut the staring-off-into-the-distance vibes for me

Roman Flügel's whole album is a treat, hadn't heard it till last week, addicted now.

Ric y Martin, “Teiwass”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzN_bCXSQV0

it’s always so good when Ricardo’s latent Depecheness emerges so explicitly like this

― missingNO, Friday, 17 September 2021 15:35 (four years ago)

sorry for consecutive postings but this Dandy Jack / Sonja Moonear track is wonderfully forlorn dusky street lamp vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRi9y0gezoA

― missingNO, Sunday, 19 September 2021 07:46 (four years ago)

I...really don't get the "soft" or "sad" from the Dandy Jack track. At all.

― I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Monday, 20 September 2021 15:48 (four years ago)

this track is for me the definition of soft, sad techno.

it sounds very melancholy to me in a wistful, pensive, James Stinson interstate truck driving at night kind of way but whatever I’m heavily depressed so

― missingNO, Tuesday, 21 September 2021 05:16 (four years ago)

maybe not so soft but i hear the melancholy in it for sure. the synth lead does fade in and out like street lamps floating by on a highway

― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 21 September 2021 14:29 (four years ago)

how about this one, "Niji" by Denki Groove

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqT8t6OSNrM

very Orbital-esque, almost like a direct sequel to "Halycon". it's one of their most popular tracks though amusingly enough they never did anything like it again
