You wouldn't be advocating the illegal downloading of music there, wouldya? I think we've had enough threads about illegal stuff this week

PurpleFistMixer

PurpleFistMixer

You have a point, I should have broken it to them more gently. Using puppets or crude animations as the case would be.

Caoimhe

*Hides*
No puppets!!!!!

Piste

Mmmmmmmm Puppets....

Joycey

Do you mean compilation made already or one i made myself? If its one ready made then it would have to be one called "future trance". There are loads of volumes and i dont know which one this is but I love every song on this cd. I cant listen to it anymore though cos all it does is depress me

LiamD

Does any1 know if the new Euphoria is any gud?It's out lately and will probably get it unless any1 has it and knows it ****e???

Also, those of u who like commercial dance Floorfillers 2 is now out and ppl who like commercial dance will luv this

if you're going to quote the simpsons, get it right.

"dad, what's a muppet?"

"well, son, it's not quite a mop, it's not quite a puppet, but they sure are funny"

:rolleyes:

Caoimhe

Wrong AGAIN
"Dad, whats a muppet?"
"Well its not quite a mop, its not quite a puppet, but man... *Laughter* So to answer your question I don't know"

Sssh, they might start talking about dance music again

PurpleFistMixer

I will go hang my head in regret and shame now. =(

They would have found out eventually! It was an inevitable process!

Caoimhe

Ah shíte...

mentalimplosion

i'm no dance-head meself (although i am partial to usual chart dancepop ****e) but i do like electroclash and stuff, which falls loosely under the heading of dance music... i guess...

LiamD

Just bought that new Euphoria it turns out it is quite good.

Mystic Fibrosis

Uns?

On a related note, any dance that's older than 5 years old generally tends to be good.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2

So in 5 years Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone will be good?

Piste

Dragostea Din Tei is good in French, I was singing it long before that weird non-French version came out.

pinkpimp

The Jackson 5 are the only dance music thats good. DAMN, THOSE KIDS ROCK!!!
*sings for a while*
*ABC 123 easy baby you and me...*
Ah, that little shrieky kid rocks. Pity he lost all his jive in an attempt on diversity.

Undergod

Just to surprise everyone, I like dance music. Anyone know the propellerheads? Probably not... they really rock. As in dance.

mentalimplosion

dragostea din tei IS a good song. would it have got to number one all over europe if it was ****e??? and the english lyrics are fun too.

altogether now... bai ee a hee bai ee a ho bai ee a ha bai ee a haha...

LiamD

It's not really dat gud.It gets crowd going when played very loud but it's not really something you'd just listen to on ur todd

eh, yes. That does tend to happen a lot.

mentalimplosion

i know there's a lot of ****e in the charts but seriously, just because you don't happen to like a song doesnt mean that it's pure rubbish and nobody should listen to it and it doesn't deserve to be bought. your taste in music is not the be-all-and-end-all of it, mmk? :rolleyes:

Proppellerheads are mad, they did the tune for the Matrix. Pure mash....

Undergod

Thank you. That's what I think dance should be.
Dragostea Din Tei? Is that what I think it is?... you odd people...

I'm not that much of a dance fan. The only reason I'm posting is to oppose Virgin Records' placing Sigur Rós and Four Tet records under the "Dance" category. If there were a "hanging head in shame" smilie, this would be the place for it.

Yep, thats true. But in fairness, get enough alcohol in anyone and anything sounds good coming out of the speakers... That tends to be why you often get crap music at certain pubs, they just couldn't be bothered hiring a decent dj with up to the minute mix's

Piste

Good song: Rock your Body Rock- Ferry Corstern

Matthewthebig

Has anyone heard of a song called Schumacher? It's meant to be the worst dance song ever released! Ever!

Jurgen Vries - The Theme

Joycey

Ok this is meant to educate all who read it. It is not a flame at anyone just guidance. What most of you think dance music is, is actually the most commercial kind of all. The genre that most people call dance music is actually called "EDM" which stands for electronic dance music. The main branches of EDM are - House, Trance, Techno, Hardcore, Drum + bass and breaks (i think).

House - Tends to be kinda funky and slower.
Trance - Tends to be faster then house and often really uplifting. I cant explain it any better then that.
Techno - Focuses on the beat where trance focusses on the melody. Often way harder then trance.
Hardcore - The chances of anyone liking this here are slim to none. It is extremely hard. All the stereotypes that you have with dance music about it being too much like "bang bang bang bang bang" are shown here. It is only for people who are well into their music. I can barely listen to this. This is the equivalent to commercial stuff as blink182 are to the very hardest deathmetal.
Drum + Bass, Breaks - I know nothing about really except for being able to recognize it.

Here is the link to a far more comprehensive guide then mine http://www.ishkur.com/music/#
No need to download anything just click the link and follow whatever road you like. If you just wanna hear what i like then go to trance and look around the bottom and left of the screen at what he says is the "commercial" stuff but isnt really .

What he writes about each kind of genre is a... unique... opinion so dont go by pretty much anything he writes, especially about trance. Listen to his samples to hear what each genre sounds like.

Sorry if this is badly written. Thanks for reading :eek:
