Name A Top Ten Techno Songs

[digmen1]

I normally do not like techno, being in my 50's and that, but I would like a small MP3 playlist of ten or so really good techno songs. Not too long tho.

How about starting me off ?

With the artist's name and title.

Regards

Hello!

I dont know exactly which ones I would rate as top 10 of all times but here is some songs that I listen to right now that I think is really good to hear on a dance floor maybe not Techno but very good:

Whigfield-Sexy Eyes(Whigfiled also has another famous hit Saturday Night which is really good)

BomFunk MC's-Live Your life

Corona-Rhythm of the night

Flashdance-What a Feeling

Jurgen Vries- The Wilderness(good techno)(available both with vocals and without)

Karaya-She Moves

Kate Ryan-Free Your Mind

Kate Ryan-Libertine(one of my Kate Ryan favs definetly recommended it is french)

Justa few of my 3500 songs;) :01:

Hope you like some of them and try em out! :beerchug:

[shn]

Check out Digitally Imported techno, they have some pretty good stations. If you like em just rip it.

[digmen1]

Thanks guys,

Keep them coming !

And lets have more actual listings of specific tracks.

I dont think Flashdance - What a feeling qualifies - I saw the movie 20 years ago !

Unless you mean a techno re hash.

Client - Telephone Sex (download it for free at their website client-online.net)
Peaches - Set it Off, AA-XXX
Fischerspooner - Sweetness, Mega Colon

Also be sure to check out the Pink Panther's Pajama Party compilation. A lot of good tracks on that.

[zacspeed]

Zero B - "Lock up"

[iMartin]

I don't listen to techno, or "trance" anymore, used to a lot though, guess it was a phase. But here are some still very good techno songs.

Crystal Method - Name of the Game

Darude - Sandstorm

Darude - Calm Before the Storm

[Joakim Agren]

Hello!

I just noticed that I for some strange reason used the name Karaya as the artist of Libertine and Free Your Mind. That is incorrect the correct artist is ofcourse Kate Ryan I have changed it now!. :-"

[sparsely]

well!
Mr. Digmen!!!!!

you can't just gather titles & say thanks!
I demand feedback!
what you think of this werido techno-crap, huh?

[shn]

Crystal Method is really not techno. :)

[digmen1]

Thanks Guys for all the suggestions - Brilliant.

I am afraid I can't comment on them till I have downloaded them.

So give me a week or so.

As a muso from way back I do appreciate technical brilliance and good beats.

Yeah...what he said.

I&#39;m somewhere in that age range also and what I enjoy (among other fancies)
are some of the 80&#39;s era songs but with a "Techno" beat.
<!--QuoteBegin-Sparsely

Yes, "electronic" would apply to most of the recommendations within this thread.
I would offer however that there is a difference...to me "Techno" means taking a
standard song and updating it with a Techno....could even be called a Disco
kinda sorta....beat.

Most of the songs recommended in this thread fall into the "electronica" category.
Which is very fine also....very listenable (is that a word??). I like the sound.

Ok, that being said....
I downloaded a few of the Darude recommendations including -

Sandstorm
On the Beach
Son of Sandstorm
Ecstasy
Very nice stuff I must say. See there...I&#39;m open minded and willing to compromise.

Ok, now let me throw out a couple of suggestions of some oldies that have been remade into a "Techno" beat....
("SLAM&#33;&#33;&#33;&#39;....is that the sound of the door slamming as the younger folk in this thread leave the room???) :unsure: :lol:

So ok, if anyone is still left in here and for the "OLD" folk out there,
here are a few suggestions"

By the way, all of my suggestions were found and d/l using K-Lite:

Send me An Angel......Artist: Real Life
Send me An Angel......Artist: Asian Imagination
Stairway to Heaven.....Artist: Techno Trance
Total Eclipse of the Heart....Techno
(aka...Turn Around Bright Eyes)

Take On Me........Techno
Hey Little Girl......Techno
X-Files Theme.....Techno

Just a few suggestions I&#39;d like to offer up.

By the way digmen1....thanks for the Thread. :clap:

Cheers everyone&#33;&#33; :beerchug:

Hey folks,

Now where I come from Techno is really hard, fast (like over 145bpm) dance music.

Check this page out for where it fits in the world of electronic music, there are samples to listen to aswell...

http://www.ishkur.com/music/

Not trying to start any fights here but Darude and Benny Benassi certainly arnt Techno :blink:

The above page has recomendations, myself im a huuuuge breakbeat fan, if you fancy a listen do a search for names like plump DJs, Hybrid, FreQ Nasty, BLIM, Rennie Pilgrem, lee Combs etc

and yes I am over 20 :D

Laterz.......QP
