    Best script ever written when it comes to dialogues...

    And that's your first warning! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Wait until I get to greenie status (I'm sure HH is considering that option very strongly right now...) "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Maybe it's time to revive your "I'm such an asshole" thread! (and yes, I fell for the sig line on that thread) Thank god you're not a moderator; you would probably have a link to a "you're banned for life" page... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Too late. I've got the market already cornered! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    How about BASE jumping with a skydiving rig... Good post!

    Good list. Non techno, but "electronic", one of my favorite band of all time: Groove Armada. And, as was mentioned above, the Salmonella Dub (one of modern music's best kept secret, at least in the US!) "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    How many guy skydivers have you kissed? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    That's funny! Nor does it take much talent to grab a paint brush and start painting. Talent should not be measured by the level of diffuculty or technicallity, but by the final result. Of course. But that goes for anything. Even in music. "Satisfaction" by the RS is 3 notes played on and on. But it has its merit... Level of difficulty is irrelevent. I studied classical music for 10 years and have a masters degree in music. I still consider that some "electronic" artists or DJs are truly talented people.

    There's a pretty good album by DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, where they spin 60's & 70's soul 45rpms for an hour or so... (I think it's called "Brainfreeze") "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Well, I would agree on Kraftwerk et al... However, I would consider the early Essential / Respect DJs as classics in terms of modern techno (Dimitri and BT should be added to that list). I totally agree he is today, but hasn't always been. Much like Elvis was a Hack in the 70's. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    I strongly disagree. A language is the reflection of a culture. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  13. Frenchy68
    Very true. Techno is only one "branch" of Electronic music. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Most of the time (much like the Italians did at the turn of the century), they manage to do so by staying within their community. Those who need to interact with people outside this community tend to learn English quite quickly. The next generation will speak English as a first language. I don't remember having to use my Italian that much in NYC last time I was there...

    There are no rules for DJs (and remixes), everything is fair. Some tunes like Born Sleepy (Underworld) and I See You Baby (Groove Armada) have been remixed dozens if not hundred of times. Bowie offered his songs to mixers a couple of years ago. If the mix is good, it doesn't really matter whether it's an original, remix, or remix of a remix... Check out Fat Boy Slim's remix of "Don't let the man get you down", it's pretty funny (though not really techno). "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Cool. Can i borrow your Homo Depot membership card? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Hey Mama, Save the flirty talk for your friend Roger in the other forum, will 'ya? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    "Born Sleepy" is a great tune, which has pretty much been remixed by every DJ around. Underworld has indeed produced some great albums. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Promises, promises... [Frenchyreachingforgogglesemoticon] "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Brilliant choice. But quite different from Techno. First there was DUB ('70's in Jamaica), then there was techno, then there was NZ DUBS (and you know how I feel about it...) "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    I'd usually stick with full albums. They're usually one continuous mix. There's always the occasional hit like "Bullet in the gun" (Oakenfold), or "Around the world" by Daft Punk. But I recommend listening to full albums (especially Trance ones...). Once again, "Essential Selection" (Essential is a club in Manchester) has some good stuff from the '90's, in many different albums. Also, some of the Norman Cook (AKA Fat Boy Slim) have some pretty good stuff (and FBS has had his share of hits!). I'll PM you some album titles. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Any attachment from Slappie or AdamJ definitely make me reach for my goggles prior to clicking... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Go back to the old classics: Paul Oakenfold Pete Tong Paul Van Dyke Timo Maas All the "Essential" selections... These I consider the "old" basics... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    ...and he's about 1 post away from being banned from the "Introduction and Greets" forum! INTRODUCTION AND GREETS for cryin' out loud! Has anyone EVER been banned from that forum??? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Thank you!
