Most Underrated Bands

But yeh, those guys and Bas Mooy have been holding it down with some good harder techno that isn't nosebleed hard.

It might be the same then... And yeah, the "blue eyes over a dark sky" track is awesome. If I'm right, he also says something like "when there's nothing left to consume, you will consume yourself. When there's nothing left to sell, you will sell your soul/self". Or something.

I really like the 2 tracks that go before that as well.. One with the pumping beat and a noisy beep and dark pads, and after that a track with REALLY nice fast-ish breakbeat influenced (?) beats and a deep bass.

edit: just looked it up, it starts at 18:28 in that set

Hmmm.

Unfortunately don't have track IDs on that one

But the full vocal is:

Blue eyes under a dark sky

Need that cause suffering
??? your own suffering
Kill you to kill my pain
Kill you to eat my cash
Kill you to consume
Try to fill this whole
Yet the more you consume the bigger the whole gets
You will never be whole
Your god is not listening
your god is numbers
Your god is paper
Your god is ???
Step inside the machine
controlled by men
when there is nothing left consume
You will consume yourself
When there is nothing left to sell
Will you sell yourself?
Life is a commodity
Your a commodity
A saleable product
The shelves are full and the stores are overcrowded with products that are cheap and disposable
Nothing you say or do will stop this ???? (obscured by the beeps)
We are all heading for debacle
With the arriving (?????)
How much is enough
But it may never be enough
If it gave us power, would you inhale money?
Would you inject power if you could get it into a syringe?
Into the blood - straight to the brain
WE are all presented with these narcotics everyday
Everyone takes a little
Our addictions are in varying degrees
But we are all dependents
You will never be free
You won't ever be free
You odn't even know what freedom is anymore
Reading history books
You should read them everyday
History is stored.
Your past is a lie.

Blue eyes under a broken dark sky

Hands down one of the best vocals in techno ever in my book. The original is by Dirty Bass. That remix is actually by Boy Constrictor (one of the dumbest names in techno....), aka 1 half of Radial.

Thanks for that! That sure is a great text. Could you maybe hook me up with the track in some way? Having a hard time finding it.

For those who are interested in Radial, download this set:

[IsiliRunite]

J Dilla
The Roots
The Orb
Fluke

as i mentioned in the original thread before it went missing, the longcut are one of the best live bands i've seen and massively underrated. they just need to find a producer who can harness their visceral live energy & sound

i'd also say black rebel motorcycle club, they've produced 4 very good albums and are another excellent live band

dj's- i'd say christian smith. one of best techno djs i've seen who always rocked the clubs when i caught him spin; but never got much press

[ceramic'cow]

Broken Social Scene - amazing band who make fantastic indie/pop tunes that still manage to have a great depth

[Sean]

I have to go with Meat Beat Manifesto on this one. Jack Dangers seems to be well respected, but never seems to get widely recognized for his work.

And his new album is brilliant.

Agreed, there will be two versions with slightly different track lists, a Jack Dangers album called Music For Planetarium released simultaneously and a non album bonus track called Bush Of Lies available for free download from his site.
