Don't get carried away! Egyptian Lover is good but he is not the end all of
old school electro. In fact he uses the same formula for almost all of his
songs and they start to all sound the same. Has anyone else ever noticed
that the instrumental of Livin on the Nile has been plagerized almost
identically by Bandulu on Downward Glance.
Incidently they covered this topic in Under One Sky several years ago, does
anyone know their url for their web site? Some tracks that made the list as
influential electro on techno are as follows.
c.o.d.-in the bottle-emergency records
jive rythym tracks-jive
warp 9-light years away
Paul Hardcastle-Asylum
Key West-Kasso
Slack-Slack
One more shot-C Bank
Funky Soul Makossa-Awesome 4some
Nonline-IMS
any how about Mantronix, they did a lot of futuristic cuts.
They best of Hip Hop on Low Price Music is an awesome collection (4 cd's) of
some of the most influential and sampled early hip hop and electro cuts. It
is too bad this is not on vinyl!
