RFI:any easily found comps or box sets of belgian new beat antler/subway beat box international trance trax odd flute/fuck you trance trax type stuff that i used to love so much

Message Bookmarked

i need more of that stuff. i love that stuff. that luomo thread reminded me that that stuff sounds so cool to me. i think i only have the odd flute 12 inch left from back then. i used to have the one with the fuck you song on it too, but i don't know what happened to it. so, i guess i'm being lazy cuz if i looked hard enuff i could probably find something on the web, but i want stuff that sounds like the trance trax stuff. don't ask me why that thread reminded me of this stuff. or maybe it was the garage rock thread that did it. i used to love techno music. i need more. it's the wine. it must be the wine.

Belgian New Beat? Oh no! Please no more Technotronic threads!

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i do like technotronic more than black box.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 01:53 (twenty-one years ago)

but that's neither here nor there.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 01:53 (twenty-one years ago)

not head fuck (sorry) and not the willowy ambient set it seems (apart from the first 4 discs)this is a bargain.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:55 (twenty-one years ago)

oops this

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

wait, what? what's a bargain?

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 01:57 (twenty-one years ago)

that 12cd box. for 30 bucks.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

right, sorry gaz. x-post and all. i'm trying to check it out. my computer froze when i clicked on it cuz it's old like me. lemme try again.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:01 (twenty-one years ago)

its nothing like what you asked for!!!!

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:03 (twenty-one years ago)

shit, that's good then cuz it keeps freezing me up. i wanna check it out anyway though, i will use my gal's pc later. i might like it anyway if it's a cool 12 cd techno comp for 30 bucks. can't beat that deal. unless it's all shit. i have this really shitty bootleg 3 album set put out by no-name idjits of just mindless early 90's acid/rave megamixes and it's the worst but ya know what, i still listen to it every once in awhile. it's like a relic or something. a time capsule of mindlessness.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:07 (twenty-one years ago)

its good(ish) scott. the majority of it is kinda hippy trance but theres like scanner, david toop, little fluffy clouds etc.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

hey scott -- do you have *new beat edit 1,* that great vinyl comp from 1989 or so? it's great, and i might even have an extra one lying around somewhere. i have this one-CD comp from around the same time, too, called *best of belgium* or something like that. i found my copy at princeton record exchange, but i swear i see it around sometimes. if i ever see another one, i promise i will buy it and send it to you.

also, be double triple quadruple quintuple sextuple sure to buy all the old sven vath records (the off, 16 bit, "j.r. is dancing pogo," etc) you can find. but you knew that, right? don't half too ask you to get up you do eet on yore own elektrika salsa ba BAA ba ba....

― chuck, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i only have latter day sven stuff. nothing THAT old anyway. new beat edit 1 sounds good. maybe ebay? if'n you don't have an extra. the only techno comps i have are the olde detroit stuff(ya know the stuff that sounds like garage rock-hah hah) all the euro stuff i had i sold when i had my early nineties new beat junk shop in philly way back when. god, i sold a lot of my really cool stuff there. but hey, what ya gonna do. ya gotta put up or shut up when you embark on a business venture. we were ahead of our time which is why it didn't last. people from urban outfitters would come and buy all our shit and spy on us and then sell our ideas to the mall kids at a hefty markup. damn them. is there a todd terry box set? all that black riot stuff? a day in the life? is that the title? i love that shit. still have a lot of that, thank god.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i dont know what the hell this thread is about but i'll recommend Eskimo's "Serie Noir" compilation on the offchance.

― jed (jed_e_3), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:34 (twenty-one years ago)

everybody needs to own a copy of Tech Nine's "Slam Jam". am i right or am i right?

Eskimo huh. i will google that motherfucker.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

holy shit! one of those serie noir comps has Kissing The Pink, John Carpenter, Executive Slacks, AND The Alan Parsons Project on it!!! that is ultra-rad. luckily i own the 12 inch remix of Big Man Restless. i got rid of all my slacks records though(philly's finest by the way).they are famous for their industrial disco version of rock & roll part 2.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

*New Beat Edit 1* was on zyx records, one of the best record labels ever, so of course it was great, scott! if i had a working tapedeck i'd tape you my entire 12-volume BCM germany 1987 *the history of the house sound of chicago* box set AND 16 bit's classic 1988-or-so *inaxycvtgb* LP, but sadly i don't. outside of belgium, as everyone knows, electrinic music was ALL OVER by the time the '90s started. i never bought all those silly stories of "escstatic raves" or whatnot.

― chuck, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:50 (twenty-one years ago)

those stories are famous though so they might be true. you left germany before it all hit like an electrical kool-aid acid test.i probably stopped paying attention after s-express or the UFORB album. i can't remember. then i had to go run and buy Mudhoney singles!(just kidding)

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 02:55 (twenty-one years ago)

outside of belgium, as everyone knows, electrinic music was ALL OVER by the time the '90s started. i never bought all those silly stories of "escstatic raves" or whatnot.

What, and New Beat had nothing to do with those "silly" raves?
What great injustice did 1990 do to you to make you bookend Balaeric as the endpoint of 'worthwhile' electronic music?

Your fractured and dismissive take on the subject just makes you look old and stupid.

― Stephen Stockwell (Stephen Stockwell), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

And who's "everyone"?

Dope.

― Stephen Stockwell (Stephen Stockwell), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

hey scott if you go to repo on south st. RIGHT NOW (well not, like, right now right now cuz it's 11:37) they have two XL records comps in the used bins which have a bunch of great early 90s belgian (and english) stuff on them that while not new beat are fucking aces.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:41 (twenty-one years ago)

fiddo, i thank you two times, but the sad truth is, i moved to a small island off of the east coast this august. There is only one record store here, but hey! they had Luomo on vinyl and they have lots of other stuff too, so who knows? They have a great rap section and lotsa new stuff. You know, when Repo opened on south i thought Cool! but i never ended up buying anything there. it was all spaceboy and record exchange for me.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 05:34 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah repo's pretty lame, actually. i only went in because i had time to kill. plus they are always surly and playing shit britpop.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 05:39 (twenty-one years ago)

ace countergirls though.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 05:40 (twenty-one years ago)

their selection was always really bad. or maybe it's just geared toward more of a casual skate rat clientele or something. i have nothing but good things to say about spaceboy though. i think they revitalized the whole record thing on south street. they re-introduced new vinyl in a big way and just do a really good job. that relapse store is the pits though. i had high hopes for it too. you can't even get everything on Relapse there for christsake!!!! they should be a metal mega-store. they should have everything! oh well. now i don't care.
AKA was a good addition too. kudos to them. they are a worthy successor to 3rd street jazz. um, except for the lack of jazz.

― scott seward, Friday, 14 November 2003 05:58 (twenty-one years ago)

oops Geir, Technotronic is so far from New Beat, it hurts...

the Serie Noire - serie (Eskimo just released n°2) is very good, as is the Aktion Mekanik compilation

While the above are more documents of the pre-new Beat period, when it was still very underground and people called it AB-music, dark new wave and electronic body music mixed with the occasional early house and techno track, Sounds of New Beat released on Antler Subway and Rock To The Beat are both New Beat compilations with tracks when it became more mainstream (and was tagged 'New Beat'), though still highly enjoyable. (try Proxis.be, or if you're really desperate look for it at Yezzz.be or ebay.be)

The early editions of the 'New Beat' compilations on Subway New Beat - Take 1 are classic and hard to get these days, but the series degraded rapidly into a collection of commercial bandwagon jumpers and other 3rd rate new beat tracks, and yes, they even included Technotronic...

Praise yourselves lucky you didn't have to listen to 'The Sound of C' (The Confetti's), New Beat's first number 1 in Belgium...

― daarkbee, Friday, 14 November 2003 11:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear S. Seward: Guess what?? I accidentally (because I thought I'd have a cassette player in my rentavan this weekend) found the copy of *Sound of Belgium* (not *Best of Belgium,* oops) that Frank Kogan taped for me a few years before I bought my own copy on CD. So I'm mailing it to you today, along with a best of Golden Earring cassette!

Dear S. Stockwell: Were you *born* without a sense of humor, or what?

― chuck, Friday, 14 November 2003 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

*the history of the house sound of chicago*

i have this, if you want me to burn you a cd of the mp3s or something, scott. let me know. it may take a while, but i can get it to you eventually.

― todd burns (toddburns), Friday, 14 November 2003 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, Chuck.
Must have missed your snappy punchline.

― Stephen Stockwell (Stephen Stockwell), Sunday, 16 November 2003 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

haha stephen stockwell is ddrake and i claim my $5.

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 16 November 2003 07:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Ouch!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 16 November 2003 07:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Scott -- Guess what? I found my extra vinyl of *New Beat Edit 1* over the weekend, too!!!! So now I'm gonna send you THAT one. Because you, of all people, deserve it!!

― chuck, Monday, 17 November 2003 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

five years pass...

can't remember if it was mentioned on here, but i just got the EXCELLENT antler/subway comp from 1988 *New Beat - Take 1*. LOVE IT!

Those titles alone!

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:39 (sixteen years ago)

"Rainbows" is fucking great, IIRC.

― 1899 Horsey Horseless (HI DERE), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:39 (sixteen years ago)

oh man i think i need to dig out my electronic body music comps because of this thread

― AMYL NATHRAKH (jjjusten), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:45 (sixteen years ago)

which is normally a slippery slope to the tyranny of the beat soundtrack which leads to my friends sitting around and staring uncomfortably while i play it

― AMYL NATHRAKH (jjjusten), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:46 (sixteen years ago)

Be proud!

― scott seward, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:47 (sixteen years ago)

I played that comp in my store today, um, like 4 times in a row.

― scott seward, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:48 (sixteen years ago)

awesome! really i probably just need a better class of friends obv

― AMYL NATHRAKH (jjjusten), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:48 (sixteen years ago)

AHEM LOOKIN AT YOU DANG P3RRY

― AMYL NATHRAKH (jjjusten), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:51 (sixteen years ago)

uh that was not clear what i mean is that if you lived on my block we could totally rock A;GRUMH until the break of dawn, mr p3rry

― AMYL NATHRAKH (jjjusten), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 22:00 (sixteen years ago)

oh god

― reo teabaggin (goole), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 22:01 (sixteen years ago)

samples from early 80s newscasts in a song is one of those elements that's either genius or unbearable

― reo teabaggin (goole), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 22:03 (sixteen years ago)

also, marching boot sounds
