Your Top 3 techno Bands
Archived36 replies · 1,853 views
Could you class Kraftwerk as techno?
Also Orbital , Underworld ,Aphex ,FSOL, (the usual)
Got some System 7 stuff.Like that one where the singer keeps going "wha habibi...".That album was superb.
Techno was never performed by a 'band' or 'group'- however the utilmate 'band' of sorts to make 'techno' music was Underground Resistance from 89-94 from Detroit.
The Shamen, Altern8 & Early Prodigy.
90-93 was fookin ace. (considering there was no neworder) Many happy days spent smoking copious amounts of dope drinking diamond white & taking trips. The music even crossed over into the charts with the above and others (808, KLF, Messiah, Oceanic, Bizarre Inc etc...)
Hear the drummer get wicked :D
Orbital, chime is my favorite techno tune of all time Prodigy, up to and including Fat of the land 808 state, the early stuff.

it means 'my love' in arabic.
Hooky Monster, I did my 50th System 7 Gig at Glastonbury Assembly Rooms on Fri 21st , twas a great gig.
I am looking to swap live stuff, have you any?
The next post will be by Hooky Monster and will read
- Orbital
- System 7
- FSOL (before they went all Orb-esque and ambient noise generators)
Im off to Underground Resistance tonight. Starts as 7:30 and goes on till 3am. Bizarre. Cant wait though. They are playing as part of DEAF here in Dublin.
I suppose they would be right up there.
Detroit-Germany-We're so ELECTRO!

Yes, i thought it was something like that.i really must dig out that song and listen again.
"techno"/+ "band"... isnt this an oximoron or something... sort of a meaningless term.... and i thought DiggyMike disliked Blue Monday-like stuff...
Kraftwerk is the closest thing to a techno band it seems
Richard D. James if he would only get his head out of his arse, course he is not a band
Boards of Canada are on the downward slope also... they are no longer an "electronic" act but have "matured" into a psychodelic pseudo-band... and their new album is a bore, nice cover art thou
it's sad to see all those fresh and original acts that you've discovered because they were different from the old stuff get old and boring themselves... very depressing
Since both DM and NO feature more guitars these days,I'm going to nominate... KRAFTWERK ORBITAL LADYTRON

does Green Velvet count?
Cameras ready, prepare to flash ... 
I could tell you some stories about my life and that track! 
Fcuk, this is a hard one. Don't really know if any of all these listed count as 'techno' but from the gist of the thread...
- Kraftwerk
- Orbital
Then any 1 from Chemicals, 808, Underworld and Autechre. Could probably even add Client and Ladytron to the list.
