it probably doesnt hurt that they went inactive just before a lot of the other legends started destroying their own legacy by making/playing crap music
so with them u don't have to be like 'but only their real jungle shit not their liquid/clownstep/blah',
only certified head music
they're not my favourites but i'd have to say a lot of their music still sounds a bit futuristic in 2015 to my ears, whereas something like babylon-splash very much does not

They where kids when 'everyone' else wasn't - at the right time -and that helps
But no it's about texture. Their good tracks sound as if they where recorded on saturn (the most dj planet btw) .

ey
need some new stuff to listen, been listening to the same things for too long now
what I'm after is something relatively accessible that may or may not include vocals. good melodies are a plus. genre is irrelevant I just want to hear good songs so don't recommend stuff that I need "to get" in order to enjoy
what I've been listening for the past year or so is random indie RnB tracks form pretty unknown artists I found on soundcloud, some trap and grime instrumentals.

i've been enjoying silk road assassins
check their soundcloud
if you've been enjoying trap, grime instrumentals and want something melodic you might be into it

big ups for the suggestion
yeah I'm aware of them and listened to some bits and it's alright but nothing amazing although I must admit that I haven't listened to them that much
I'm not necessarily looking for trap or grime or RnB for that matter but just generally good songs.. being melodic is not an intrisic value as such but nice melodies are a bonus

but be sure to turn the volume way up so you'll come across like the speng you are.
edit// god it bangs. and the mixing is so incredibly tight.

chris liberator is the fucking man
this is the good kind of acid, not the dusty analogue for the sake of being analogue shit that gets churned out now imo
Liberators - what really strikes me is how unpretentious it all sounds. as they say themselves (although in a rather corny way), they didn't try to make it sound fresh or underground, they just played bangers.

it worked tho - unlike the "u need to hear on a system" crew when defending some shit tear out tune
plus it made sense considering idm was still a big thing at the time, and i guess old school techno purists were probably hating on anything that had to do with the sort of hard loopy techno that was pushed by tresor et al
since I'm not on top of my techno game - why would oldschool techno heads be hating on Tresor etc. (suppose that includes Drumcode?) I always thought Tresor was kinda bridging the gap between Detroit and Berlin.
