It “failed”?! It did too well to be labelled a failure.
Absolutely, everyone stopped making it after around 2001, and quickly jumped ship to tech house and mnml when they realised they were just making [paul van dyk without breakdowns. The Dutch and German cheese merchants had more integrity in this regard than the south coast numpties.
This is wrong, but again, not sure what it has to do with anything anyway.
No UFOs, Big Fun, and Good Life would like a word!

No UFOs is as much an electro tune.
Big Fun and Good Life always sounded as much house as techno (I’ve had that discussion on here before - Saunderson was always the least ‘techno’/most house sounding of the Belleville Three and had more of an NY influence to his sound than the others).I also find Good Life a bit cringe, while Big Fun is touch and go.
However you spin it, I don’t see how they can be labelled “the best techno”.

Everyone stopped making disco at the start of the 80s, doesn’t mean it had “failed” either.
Tech house and minimal also both died much quicker than prog had when people realised they were just making dull music.
“Paul van Dyk without breakdowns” isn’t really a diss either, PvD had some excellent moments in the 90s. Long breakdowns also get in the way of dancing, while supposedly you are claiming to be an advocate of ‘dance’ music.

The Dutch and German cheese merchants briefly jumped on the electroclash fad as well, before mostly abandoning any kind of dancefloor sensibility in the pursuit of pop crossovers / radio play, together with generic stadium filler. Don’t see how that has any more to do with “integrity”.
I haven’t listened to any of them but i imagine some of those garage videos to be real treats for the ears
mike ink and walker - Church of the Poisoned Mind
which is obvs a reference to this.

No they didn’t.

Exactly! thanks for proving my point. They were pop, and logically followed the path they embarked on.

No he didn’t, music strictly for EDL goons. But still preferable to centrist long kesh stronger prog house types because he was at least honest.

Is that why Digweed still plays kompakt, Pig and Dan, etc whilst he will never play all the Armin Van Buuren and Transa Dross he was playing in ’97? Great argument my main man!
[deleted] get to fuck, you piece of shit.
Ravesignal 3 is good but sounds both the most ‘techno’ and the least ‘pop’ of the lot.
well, it got played on daytime radio, along with quadrophenia.
The same can’t be said for West on 27th.
Along_the_Wire it’s ok boss, I have your divorce nicely arranged. You’ll soon be a contented man, suffering much less from old man butthurt syndrome. Just give it a week.
