― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 26 April 2004 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The piano house thing was exploited really well in some of my favorite hardcore tracks, do any of those tracks that count?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 26 April 2004 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

yes

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 26 April 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

88. Fat Controller's "In Complete Darkness" has a gorgeous piano bit (after it's breakbeat-fueled intro and this creeping ominous synth bit and then it's strange vocal sample bit "In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only are knowledge and wisdom that separates us. Don't let your eyes deceive you." This is one of my new favorite tracks.)

87. new atlantic - i know
86. hyper go go - high

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 26 April 2004 05:22 (twenty-one years ago)

85. alright - sterling void

― mullygrubber (gaz), Monday, 26 April 2004 05:37 (twenty-one years ago)

is that the nookie rmx alex?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Monday, 26 April 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm actually not sure. It sounds like it might be Slipmatt, but no info is given on the comp.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 26 April 2004 06:36 (twenty-one years ago)

What is piano house?

― Sasha (sgh), Monday, 26 April 2004 06:49 (twenty-one years ago)

house music with tinkly pianos in it.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

84. Bizarre Inc - "Playing With Knives"
83. Bizarre Inc - "I'm Gonna Get You"
82. Sub Sub - "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)"

"In Complete Darkness" is utterly brilliant.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:17 (twenty-one years ago)

tinkly is the wrong word, I should've said "pounding chords" but yeah: house w/piano.

79. Liquid - Sweet Harmony (Trick Or Treat Remix)

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:20 (twenty-one years ago)

The latter is better known as Harmonize. But basically you've got three different versions of the same gorgeous piano riff there: original house, rave rework and UK garare refix.

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:23 (twenty-one years ago)

78. Midas - "Groove Control"

Alex mentioning Fat Controller has just prompted me to dig out an old compilation called Off Yer Nut!! 3 Discs of Genius Happy Hardcore. Can I just nominate the whole thing?

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Monday, 26 April 2004 07:48 (twenty-one years ago)

indeed! for the title alone.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Monday, 26 April 2004 08:05 (twenty-one years ago)

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 26 April 2004 08:08 (twenty-one years ago)

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Monday, 26 April 2004 08:20 (twenty-one years ago)

76. Sy & Unknown - "Sudden Impact"

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Monday, 26 April 2004 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

68. unknown stormer

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 26 April 2004 09:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Agent Sumo-24 Hours
Agoria-The Sky Is Clear (Michael Mayer Remix)
The Janitor Sessionz-Do It For Love (a new classic I guess, haha, like the two above)

For some reason I am drawing a total and complete blank on old school piano house. Too much listening to old school piano house I guess.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 26 April 2004 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 26 September 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

52. Step On -- Happy Mondays (I know, bit of a stretch, but the whole song is built around the piano line, and the piano line is a house piano line).

Obsessed with Jennifer Lucas - Take On Higher at the moment, might have to go on a piano house binge. Does anyone know good mixes from this period, I’m guessing someone like Sasha was rinsing the kind of stuff at the time, but I have to admit being a bit oblivious to most of this stuff.
