The ones with stars are in my Techno top 20, hell, the latter two are in my top 5!

Juan es el rey de music techno!

i resent the implication!

Oh yeah?

hey stir aren't you sort of involved w/ the people from network records?? why are they sitting on all that old good stuff (like biorhythms) and not reissuing it??

xp

i was just being obnoxious.

i don't think anyone in detroit has a good word to say about neil rushton these days and i have a feeling all the rights have reverted back.

Where is the techno on "THE KINGS OF TECHNO". It's like those rappers who say "yeah my music is ok but Coldplay, that's the real thing!!"

allow these songs

x-post otm dig up some classics CC and Laurent....these comps are ultra crossover, it should be the quintessential Detroit techno mix by two uber-canonical legends, not this modest comp of nods....

where is KONTAKTE

where is DELIA D

"STARSHIP"!!

(didn't sun ra invent techno???)

oh shit...

Was The Kings of Disco supposed to be titled The Kings of Danceable Funk and Soul Made Before, During, and Just a Little Bit After the Bee Gees Went Disco (Along With Some Straight-Up Disco)?

i believe i asked 'where are the mc5 and sun ra' upthread.

sorry andy, but this is more like asking for samosas and getting a burrito

http://www.discogs.com/label/Incognito+Records

this one too:

http://www.discogs.com/label/Retroactive

and y'all forgot about this guy:

http://www.discogs.com/release/65140

And it just occured to me that I really want Just Another Chance by Reece on this comp.

they DO repress retroactive stuff, don't they? or are those bootlegs? you see the vinyl on the internet once in a while, usually around the same time as when the buzz stuff gets repressed ... bootlegs, right?

My guess is that those Retroactive records are bootlegs because you never see any of those records coming through submerge. I wasn't even aware that those records were getting the bootleg treatment.

Also, this is another one of those old Detroit comps that doesn't get enough love:

I love how Discogs.com is like the new allmusic.com for dance dorks.

agree about incognito - some great records including two of my favourite ever reese releases.

"club scam ii", "iconoclastic diaries" and "mood music for the moody" were incredible, though.

(is "russell" arthur russell??)

There's a simpler solution: MPTrim works entirely in the MP3 data realm so there isn't additional sound degradation from encoding/decoding. Its useful for trimming down silent or excessive intros/outros for tidy CDRs.

That said, you'll need Audacity or the likes to do proper crossfades.

From an email:
NOTE: PROMO YOU HAVE [see tracklist above] IS NOT THE FINISHED CD

FINISHED CD will be a double mix CD featuring

PROMO features a selection of tracks featured on those mixes many of which are out of print and hard to get.

Not from email:

NOT ideal for people who know everything

LOL

i've warmed to this comp quite a bit ... "track selection and mission of a comp called kings of techno?" questions aside, they do a real nice job with the mixing and the track selection is tight

like i would not consider selling it

This comp introduced me to D.I.E - "Get Up" which is amazing. I used to spin it regularly (slowed down a bit).
