No idea what your talking about mate this film is about Acid House

seannash

now im not slating this because its oldskool but do we really need to see another documentary about the birth of rave or acid house.

im not sure theres going to be anything new brought to the table with this one.

how it started as an underground movement

the media backlash

the continued success(cue lots of people saying "noone expecte it to last this long" )

djliquid

The thing is that nobody expected it to last as long as it has...

ah i dont.i genuinely think that there are enough documentaries out there already.


will this really bring anything new to the table?
does the target audience of this film not already know what happened,who were the key players etc

It's not targeted at any particular audience for examples veterans like me it's for everyone, younger clubbers who might be intrigued watching this, i wasn't old enough to experience the Disco scene but that didn't stop me watching many films and documentrys about Disco.

decent point but i think anyone who is interested in it would have already checked out the other documentaries.

how and ever like i said i cant really see the excitement especially from people who will probably know100% of the content already(such as yourself)

i guess its much the same way you didnt understand the need for remixes of classic tunes i dont see the need for rehashing what most people involved with dance music already know

This is like Harry Potter for late 80s pillheads; there's a new one out every year or two and people enjoy it all the more for knowing how it ends.

So in about 2021 all the young crew from here will be reminiscing about minimal and watching 3D documentaries on meph, tight jeans and dwarf bouncers...

Haha, true - pretty horrendous fashion alright, as were the boiler suits and dunagrees! Thankfully that period had ended by the time I got into the scene, by then it was ultra cool and trendy with only the best music... :pac:

All jokes aside though, the start of the rave era and acid house etc will always be looked on as the start of a whole new era of music and culture - and for that very reason we will have documentaries and books for years to come. I agree though, probably won't tell us anything new!

Hav you watched the clip...? i hav & iv seen loads of docs iv lived through it danced to it & even in that short clip i can see that this doc is going to be one of the best ones made, i dont know if u lik old skool or not but you hav to rspect all the producers who made such incrediable music with the technoligy aviable unlik now all you need is a laptop & 1 or 2 more pieces & anybody can make dance music now & tbh theres some brill new music around but im still waiting to hear somthing compleatly new never done before the biggest difference between new & old is digital & analogue thats it

ive watched the clip.it didnt lead me to believe that anything new would be shown.


i like oldskool but my oldskool is different to your old skool because im either much younger/older than you.

also complaining that it only takes a laptop and 1 or 2 thing to make music these days is a bit silly as alot of dance music was 1 drum machine and 1 synth back then.

That said, I'd love to see a documentary about how Liam Howlett did the entire Experience album using a Roland W30 :eek:

Zascar

I like those documentaries so I will actually look forward to watching it.

There is a huge thread in EMI which I might borrow for here, on Dance Music Documentaries. Some really great stuff in there.

No its not silly & it took alot more than that to make the music as u needed a sequencer,sampler,dat machine, mixing desk & a pc/mac/amiga or 2 & more than 1 synt all seperate & you needed to program it all & using floppy disks & then trying to combine all the different tracks togeather to make the tune it took a lot of skill as compaired to today were all this equipment is combined in one or 2 simple programs on your pc/mac/laptop & a midi keyboard so there is a big diffence never mind taking your sample & trying to morp into the sound you wanted

right maybe at the very high end of things but for alot of tracks it was a drum machine and a synth with some way of recording it.

the first acid house track was a 303 and a drum machine and believe me there was very little skill involved with that track.

also dont accuse modern musicians of no skill just because they have more sophisticated tools.
these tools allow modern tracks to sound soooo much better than any of the old school tunes(its pointless arguing this point because modern tracks have eclipsed oldskool tracks sonically)

but getting back to the topic if people are excited by this cool.i just dont see the need for it or the hype

Sorry m8 i didnt mean to come across as prick but the old skool i love ^ experinced was the 92-94 german techno/trance from lables such as eye q/harthouse,franckfurt beat,superstion,noom,save the vinly etec,etc,etc & it took most of the equipment & alot of skill & time to make these wonderfull tracks & as far ad to days music the point i was making that these days its a lot eaiser as you have computers to do a lot of the programming for you with all the great software out there & i didnt mean to say that all of todays producers have no talent as i know a lot do as i love moderen electronica thats out there covering many styles of techno/house/progressice/tech-house & tech-trance wheather it be electro or minimil or not as i love a good track no matter what style & back to yyour point if people want to see it grand if not cool
