Recommend some Techno Music

[Angcuru]

I've been looking around for some good techno to listen to, but there's way too much to choose from.

What are some of your favorites?

Falco - the Remix Hit Collection, primarily the remix of "Rock Me Amadeus"
DJ Sammy feat. Yanou - "Heaven"
Cybertribe - anything by them, but especially the "Immortality" album
QED - the album "Mobius"
The KLF - "The White Room - Special Package" (NOT just "The White Room" - that leaves off some good stuff)

That's all I can think of to recommend at the moment. If I think of more I'll post it.

Well, My favorites so far:

Juno Reactor - especially Masters of the Universe

DJ Crack - The Art of Trance - Access of Trance

Strong Bad email #45 is all you need.

There is a lot of techno and variations of techno. The few I like are mentioned already and I also like Zombie Nation.

Just to be really pedantic, "techno" is a specific sort of music, and none of the stuff mentioned in this thread so far actually is "techno".

I know, "techno" gets used as a synonym for the horrible word "electronica". But it's the same as using "D&D" for any sort of roleplaying game.

This is decent enough (if a bit outdated in some entries) - it has links to other genres

Anyway, to answer the original question, you can do a lot worse than going to the various artists section and picking up a compilation at random.

If you actually are looking for proper "techno", I can't help, since I hate it.

If you are looking for trance, a list of favorites would be too numerous for me to list, but I'm quite fond of Suzy Solar's mix cds

If you like disco-tinged house, I've been listening to Hed Kandi's latest "Disco Heaven" compilation cd.

Anyway, if you are just talking about electronic music in general, I would suggest:

Messiah - 21st Century Jesus
Paul Van Dyk - Vorsprung dyk Technik
BT- IMA

Everyone should own those, IMHO.

You've HEARD all the stuff I mentioned?! Impressive!

Also, just wanted to say that I'd have been shocked and disappointed if someone who goes by "trancejeremy" HADN'T posted in this thread.

Personal favorite: Photek -- Ni Ten Ichi Ryu.

If you've seen the original Blade, it's what Frost is listening to in the library.

Edit: According to the wiki article linked above, though, it's almost certainly not techno. I can't imagine dancing to it -- it'd be like a seizure.

Bjork is the closest thing to techno I like.
