DESCRIPTION:
Just a little tribute I threw together for my favorite techno album from the old school. I tried to mix it down to 10 minutes, but the album is just too good! While it was not my first techno album, it was very special. It was not just the fact that my dad picked it up at a swap meet for Christmas or that it was the first of a series of albums that I owned virtually all of (until the series got lame), this album meant a whole lot more to me than that. It embodied a sound that represented rave culture to me. I have many fond memories in high school of hanging out with my friends, which, looking back, were mostly clubbers and ravers and shutting out the world around me and that horrible sound of social teenagers prattling. I would get lost in the fast beats and long for a better place. A place I found in rave culture. Before it was corrupted by rampant commercialism and a confused sense of purpose, raves were a place to hide from the conformity of commercial culture and idiotic social norms. It was a place to be yourself and embrace the weirdness that made up who you were, since all around were others doing the same. Yes there were drugs, yes there was sex, yes there was our version of Rock n Roll, yet, much like our parents who coined the phrase, it was our way of showing the big middle finger to society and enjoying every minute of it. So this album is something special to me. hehe LA based Moonshine Records put this little album together from the best and brightest hardcore breakbeat techno songs of the early 90s they could get their hands on. While there was at least one other great effort (volume 5), this album was so strong, it was still selling in stores along side volume 7.
