I love the new retrospective Laurent Garnier album. There's a track on there he's recorded with totally live instruments and it really is incredible (you'd know the track if ya heard it - can't rememeber the name)... There's a few more on there too where the ride cymbal sounds just lovely....
I remember DJ Hell once told me about 10 years ago he was interested in this and it sort of stuck in my mind ever since.
What really gives me a buzz in techno is when i can almost imagine the music is being played by someone on a stage. I don't mean where the whole track is totally 'live' , what i mean is where you hear an instrument in there that sounds natural and takes you away from the electronic aspect of the music.
Does anyone else get this feeling in music? And why the hell does it matter so much :lol: ????!!!!
