seeing tortoise (circa 2002) and dino jr (2005 i think) did that to me

How have the chemical brothers not been mentioned in this thread already? They released some of the best electronic music for the 90s and even made it big without sacrificing their creativity.

They (Chems) seemed to be really popular back then. I picked up Further but it just doesn't do it for me.

They were also on the MTV sister station, Much Musics compliation
"R U Recieving?"

Very close to AMP in artist selection.

This comp was also very exciting at the time to me. It had a continuity.

with this track being the standout...

Chem Bros were awesome back then. A String of fantastic singles.

Spring Heel Jack were the best and most "live" show of this type I saw in that decade.

Got some aphrodite and dj soulslinger and coldcut and some goa trance queued up right now.

Absolutely. This used to be (and still is) by far my favourite electronic album of that era. Brings back so many memories, like going to university, spending the first month on a campus with new found friends, drinking lots of cheap liqour and listening to this album until the sun was coming out in the morning. Yeah, this album is pure class.

Another one that had equal power, though a lot less known, was "Free-D" by Ecstasy of st. Theresa. For those of you not familiar with this genuine Czech band, please sacrifice the 30 minutes and search for this album, you'll be rewarded for your effort.

coldcut!

oh oh and DJ Spooky was MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR to me. Still follow him. Not as closely though. But f off if RIDDIM WARFARE isn't a total must-own kids.

how bout The Prodigy? Their single "Poison" was such a favorite of mine.

Too bad Greenlight will most likely not check out this thread. I remember sitting next to him when we drove from London to Minehead on our way to ATP last year and he just kept talking about The Orb for like 45 minutes straight.

this always confused me, is The Orb related to Orbital at all?

No, they're not.

Orbital are sometimes confused with The Orb, a similarly-named band that has also been very influential in the realm of electronic music. In its early days, The Orb (and William Orbit) often did remixes of other artists' songs and called the result an "Orbital Mix", but these remixes have nothing to do with the band Orbital. The Orb stopped this practice after Orbital became popular, in order to prevent any further confusion.

I've heard 3 albums by the Orb and didn't really get the fuss.

ooh Orbital Remix, yeah. Okay.

There was Orbital and there was The Orb. Orbital are the Hartnoll brothers and The Orb was Alex Paterson and former KLF member Jimmy Cauty

you guys know this tortoise song "glass museum" or whatever (renamed as "ice" for the video)?...

doesn't it sound like they're about to go into "idea of north" by shellac at times? That "dun dun DUn dun dun" thing. Which would be perfect, since that came out in 1996, and At Action Park -- with "Tortoise style packaging" as it says on the inside -- came out in 1994.

Anyway...

glass museum and the whole Tortoise album "Milions now living will never die" was awesome, though it hardly belongs to this thread.

another classic that comes to my mind:

The "Ice" video was on MTV's Amp back in the day, which is how I discovered Tortoise to begin with.

...Anyway, I'm listening to Ethnica - Alien Protein, anyone have any other badass GOA reccomendations?

please get that alien protein album.. glice, you'd dig it.. completely mind melting epic dark trance shit.. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FFDN0XPN

Listening as we speak - well worth a download. Generic as a generic thing, but no worse for it. Well worth it for anyone who's ever enjoyed pills. I'd argue that generic Happy Hardcore compilations are more worth it though. But that's me.
