A back to basics of electronic music should take you back to Suicide and The Silver Apples, through Kraftwerk, New York electro, into early Detroit techno masters like Juan Atkins and from thence into Acid and hardcore...and should not go anywhere near True pissing Faith.

Any reason you can give for them being shit and others superior is merely an opinion, though, still.

Without New Order - yes, Madchester would have been different and that that might have prevented some dross from being released, but that's true of any emerging music genre. But there would also probably be no Prodigy, Orbital, Massive Attack etc.

That's because as soon as 'Fine Time' came on
you'd cover your ears and run around shouting "lalalalalalanotlistening".

Fair play
I can barely remember who I was on most of these occasions, let alone what was playing. But, as is common knowledge, your capacity for larging it is unparalleled.

so obviously I'll bow to your knowledge. But their stuff was massively common, particularly mixed, in the ones I went to.

haha. Well played.
I'm not trying to out music you, I know that would be stupid. And I get why you don't like them, but they were very influential, even if they did influence a lot of crap as well as good.

/incidentally, have you really never heard them at a rave? because there's a really common about 20 second cut from bizzare love triangle that I've heard shitloads to move from xxxx to yyyy (I don't really do dance music so i'm buggered if I know which tracks)

One of my rarest rave 12"s is Mickey Finn's first ever record.
It's this, and it's one of my favourites of the era:

You see, now you are talking sense
What year was this out?
(, Fri 15 Apr 2011, 15:10, Reply)
90 or 91 I think.
EDIT it's 91 - my favourite year for raving. The music was still quite varied, the drugs were strong and plentiful, and I was 18. Magic.

Not really that heavy or hardcore as you wished earlier

Not drum and bass at all either you helmet.

My favourite type of rave tune was the 'bleep' stuff like 'LFO' by LFO.

(, Fri 15 Apr 2011, 15:16, Reply)
LFO
Was a solid tune, solid bass and lots of space. The daddies of Bleep Culture had to be Sweet Exorcist. Fucking amazing. The Testone series with the brilliant sample, 'If everythings ready on the dark side of the moon, play the five tones', was and still is, monumental.

They also predated Dubstep by releasing the eyeball shaking 12", Clonk. If you love bass, then track it down on vinyl. More low end wobble than is actually necessary.

Try Magnetic Man, you might like it.
I could hook you up with a list of the good shit if you want. Or get hold of the Best of/Annual albums and pick and choose the best stuff from there. Warning: there is a LOT of utter shit dubstep out there.

This is exactly the point for every track i like, there are ten shit ones!

It's a shame as the genre holds a lot of promise, especially for anyone who loved drum and bass
but every studio-mixologist and his stoned mate have the gear in their bedrooms now and think they can produce interesting, meaty tunes. No, pricks, you can't, your music sounds just as mighty badger described.

Is more Popstep than it is Dubstep. Very formulaic, predictable and dull.

Dubstep suggestion
The best stuff I have ever heard is by a chap called Bass Clef. Its technically NOT Dubstep, as it is interesting and not at all repetitive and dull.

Its more a mix of rave, jungle, soca, afrobeat and carnival glee. Brilliant stuff for all weathers and moods, highly recommended.
