In my opinion, this is undoubtably the best, most innovative techno track I've heard all year (and I don't mean that lightly). Perhaps (but time will tell) the best track I've heard for about 5 years.. This is either gonna be very, very massive (and perhaps change the face of techno??????), or do nothing.

Chris McCormack - 'Erase Techno' (Blacklisted - UK)

Serious, I've been trying find a track in my collection that has the same 'techno' attitude as this and I'm stuck. If only Chris could make more stuff like this, more regularly....

Hey Mark,

I picked up a copy at JUST MUSIC last week, I too love it but you know the way things are in the music scene if it's a little bit different then it's a gamble if it's to sell. I do play it nearer the end of my set and the 1st time I played I got a few weird looks but once the rides & hats kicked in the kids loved it. Not sure if it's gonna sell loads as most techno kids turn there noses up at ROCK GUITARS but like you say it's very fresh and new. I do hope it does well as it's the 1st one on Chris's new label.

I've been playing the shit outta your Anxious - compound record......jesus what a track.

Paul.

Well I havent purchased it, but I dont think i Will. I listened to it all tracks full out and I didnt like it at all. Thats just my opinion of course. The punk theme in there goes well i do say but the track caries on and doesnt do anything for me.
However i did really like the ambient orchestral track i think that is on the b-side.
Chris's kick is furious here but i personally cant see it racing up the techno charts to number one.
Oh yeah if you want to listen to it and post your comments go to Bangingtunes.com do a search for chris McCormack.

Cheers

I really think this track sums up techno... the old school way of thinking - not afraid to be completely different...

it get's a MASSIVE reaction on the floor - believe me!!!

Yeah, Chris is a weird one. He does hardly any interviews (I've read only one, one of the few)...and he does only what he wants and feels at the time. Not for money, fame, respect...whatever. Pretty cool.

..... if its a little bit different it is a gamble wether or not it will sell... in my opinion techno is about being different and everyday is a gamble!!!!!

Gotta say it's the best techno track I've heard in months mate - dropped at Technosis last Friday and the crowd went absolutely spastic. To me it's proper dancefloor techno, with drums like that how can it not be?!

ahhhh crap, I thought I was bein original putting a Guitar in my new track last month. Now I hear Chris McCormack has done the same thing months earlier; Oh well, so much for beeing unique :?

But I gotta say, Erase Techno is one of the best EPs I´ve got in months, if not a year's time. Very creative techno, innovative but still hard and forward and not weird like in most cases. I wish there was more stuff like this, where producers start following a new idea and bring up the guts to put it out on the market and see if it works. Erase Techno gets a full 10 outta 10 rating from me. Respect!

well... sounds like some either love it or hate it. personally i love it.

if some love it and others don't... then i think it is a useful track. pushing the boundaries imo, which means some will like it and like the direction that it is going while others like to push techno in other directions. that's cool.... that's techno baby.

peace,
phil

I checked this track too because Chris often surprise me. I expected something really unique, basing on the title only, and it really is. However I didn't buy it. Maybe I'm too old.... Ehhrr...

The reason why this track is so great is that chris mccormack does not create music for the dance floor. He creates music that he wants to create and listen to. Many Dj's have asked him to put bigger intros on his tunes and he has told them to **** off as he has made the music to what he likes not to what every1 will like.

thats all very well... but dj's are the people who buy the tunes... i mean you dont have to compromise your music or whore yourself, but whats wrong with making a record with an intro thats a bit longer and therefore easier to mix??? it will still be the same track but people will be happier to play it out.... or maybe im just a gaylord.

Played this out for the first time last week and it really got the place rocking. I was wary before I dropped it cos there seems to be this love/hate thing going on with it. But I love it, so I thought **** em if they don't get it. Luckily they all did get it though.
The only downside is that I'm now being asked to play more stuff in that style and there just isn't anything else like it. And I personally hope it stays that way. We need innovators like McCormack to keep pushing the boundaries and bringing out challenging tracks that are true only to their own tastes and beliefs and not influenced or led by populist trends.
Well done that man !
