Ignition Technitian Potential Double pack.

[MARKEG]

I used to love their stuff. This just isn't as good as they used to be imo.

[Esox Lucius]

they have gone well downhill.

[dan the acid man]

i've never been impressed at all to be honest

[Esox Lucius]

I used to love their stuff, but it got more boring & unoriginal.

[dan the acid man]

i suppose it must be hard to keep it inspiring and original though

[anx]

yep their old wedafaquwiadraeo however u spell it stuff is awesome! their stuff just turned into cheesy club techno

[Sunil]

Yes, they've churned it out too much and now release complete and utter throwaway crap, it's a shame as they are more than capable of making great techno. As for it being hard to keep it original and so on, there's a simple answer! Don't release every five minutes.. don't re-produce your 'winning formula' for every track. These guys are worse than Marco Bailey.

I'm still interested in Potential as a label though, there's new Godfather and Assault mixes of Martyn Hare that I'm looking forward to hearing.

[eyes without a face]

Ignition Technician production wise have gone right down hill, they peddle out such boring works!!!

i simply dont class it as techno and its such a shame because Wilko and Pete are both really talented and wikid guys

[observer]

Why make a whole post about something you don´t like? A bit like just taking the piss

[eyes without a face]

taking the piss? not sure where u got that from, no one is taking anything away from Ignition Technician here, we are simply stating how, in our opinions, they dont seem to have the energy and originality they once had.

no one is taking the piss at all here

[DJPAUZE]

all i have to say to their sound now is

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[jonnyspeed]

I ways include them in the stack when I'm buying tunes but as yest they've never made it onto the 'yes' pile. recently I have had to specifically ask, they used to be occationally suggested by mr. shop-keep - but I used to be like that with Drumcode and now Bayer really gets my heart thumping.

but if was looking TI stuff, what is worth a listen?

[jonnyspeed]

IT even :)

[observer]

yeah yeah..

[dan the acid man]

we are giving our honest opinion on something here, i dont see the problem, i could if people were being childish and saying they hate them, but were not

[Col]

i still like some of their stuff, although i admit its not up their with the early stuff they did. and to be fair they have been making party techno from day one, and still continue to do so. the only thing thats changed is that they seemed to move on from the filthy, dark sound they knocked out, and moved into a groovier house sound. the party edge still lives on though.

[MARKEG]

no i didn't start this post to say they're crap, i started it to provoke some discussion about it all. i think they're missing a whole section of sound in their tracks. they seem so empty.

[EmotionComplex]

i remember seeing these guys live in liverpool a couple of years ago, it was excellent but now ive just took a listen to the newer stuff i have to agree its not in the same league as the older productions :evil:

[davethedrummer]

i think their recent stuff is o.k. actually
it's quite funky and light but i like the basslines
and the warmth of the sound they go for.

maybe not the best records in the world but they do work at the right times, i always have one of theirs kicking around just in case the hard stuff just isn't doing it or i need to start off a little funkier.

i say it aint too bad
but then i would say that as i've just swapped remixes with them
:oops: :oops: :oops:
so we'll see how that goes eh???

[anx]

some of their shit on player aint too bad

player 3 is still one of my favorite tracks
"put some clothes on that ass if u respect yerself"

[Numeric]

I used to be bang into the Technician sound, but have to agree, they've fell off big time. Although, i still have a listen to what's new from them in the shop, and would still go to see them live...

[The Overfiend]

They are the equivalent of Fat Joe to hip hop
Used to be great hardcore
and just ok now a lil softer.
Im sure if they felt the need to regress tot he original recipe they can do so with ease.
Just a matter if there is a market for anyone to ask for it and release it.

[Numeric]

Yeah definetly...

Although Fat Joe isn't good anymore full-stop...

What's Love? :doh:

Leave me out...

:oops: :oops: was that by them, i loved that one

[eyes without a face]

Player is Mark Turner and the ignition boys

Player 3, 4 and 12 are all superb records

and dont forget mike humphries & jon nuccle. ;)

[Col]

speaking of mark turner, has he ever had a release outside of player?

[buster]

I could be wrong but I think Turner did something through the old Orbit Studio a few years ago.

[Kevin Gorman]

i have a few tunes by them but i havnt picked up anything by them as of the late.

[duncandisorderly]

i do agree that some of the recent IT stuff sticks to a formula. however i still think they have released some proper party rockers in the last year or so. such as-

back in the day on relentless(iturnem)

take it back on tronic

and pusher 3 on players sub label pusher by pete simpson. whenever i play this one i have people asking what it is. mainly from the same sample used by alan braxe and fred falke on 'intro' on roule records. :clap:

plus they reinvent themselves every once in a while - so don't rule them out just yet boys. :nono:
