The Technasia track is ‘Resilience’, not ‘Force’. ‘Force’ is A1, ‘Resilience’ is B1 on the 2000 12".

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Uuups, looks like we didn‘t read the label correct, have to check again. But they didn‘t know the track anyway 😬 Thanks for the note 👍🏻

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Always liked the other side better.

[@Jeeon]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV Definitely ! Early Technasia releases had fantastic B-Sides everybody seems to forget about :(

[@vadz]

@@Jeeon Force is a bomb with vocals!

[@Jeeon]

@@vadz I know ;) TBH I'm a huge Technasia fan so anything they released in their first decade is gold to me. All I was saying is Resilience feels special to me :)

[@rzr82]

Whoever edited this is REALLY good. They managed to make the music play consistently through cuts of the people and still convincingly cut the music out and back in whenever the needle was moved. Kudos!

I've designed a bunch of garbage in my career, but doing the Art Of Vengeance EP with Groove La Chord for Fragile still makes me feel humble to have done it. Such a great track, much thanks to D.May, soooo awesome to see it here. Truly a 'classic'! (not because of the design :P)

[@houstoner]

I remember these old tracks. This was the sound of my 90s childhood. It all started from Need For Speed soundtracks.

[@ronyalemerrill]

Hahahahhha! I get so tickled watching their faces! This series is exactly what I needed!!! A community of love and music, some people will never know how amazing the scene was in the 90’s!

[@neonpop80]

Electronic music sounds more futuristic than contemporary modern ones. It just cuts to the chase with primal sounds from the electronic grid the synthetic entity was born in. Lives well embedded in cities

Jeff's bells what a tune, 🤣

[@Mad4400]

I bet they all knew it within 10 seconds but let the track play out anyway.

[@UnitOfE]

so many vague memories...

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

really impressive that they recognise the grooves on the records

[@N1h1L3]

if you spin vinyl for 20+ years you get a feel for those details, even recognizing some pressing plants.

[@DaSkonk]

Detroit techno of the time was mostly all being pressed at the same plant, and usually cut and mastered by the famous Ron Murphy (NSC) using his signature Scully lathe; so often had a certain 'look'. And big acid tracks like that had quite distinctive grooves too, that you would definitely recognise when you saw them, if they were familiar.

[@clairvoyantmole8668]

This particular record was pressed running from inside to outside. You don't need to be a pro to see that.

[@gyuziburcsany]

The idea is that most of the detroit techno stuff was playing from the inside to the outside. However, Overkill amped this one up a level. In addition to the inside-out playing, the grooves were not locked, and the stylus would jump off at the end, assuming you left the turntable unattended. It was even etched on the vinyl, "when this track ends, so will your needle". Ever since I have known about this fact (which to be honest, is since this Thursday) I have been wondering how many people were caught off guard by this.

[@josephinewinter]

actually i used to be a huge indie music super obscure vinyl addict (before internet, mp3) and i could tell how loud or quiet bits of songs would be and what the guitar would be like and therefore of course the song structure just from looking at the vinyl, and even if i would definitely like the track because i loved certain structures and textures of music!!!!! i have no exact idea how, but just from the vinyl tracks. I had to buy by post and unwrap before i put it on (i had to get permission to use my dad's record player) so there was a lot of seeing before hearing. I forgot that until reading your post, thanks for bringing back my memories!

[@wisemann0994]

Thank you thank you Thank you. You are my God. My everything. Please continue to do these. I am 40 and my DJ name is SpiritualViking and I need you to continue to do these videos so I can get my hands back on the tracks I mixed to back in the early 2000’s. I’m from Montreal, Canada !!!!

[@samikalastaja]

2:25 - Technasia - Resilience. I love this track! So fresh, positive, energetic.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Indeed. Like it more than the A-Side "Force"

[@thadaliciousdelicio]

WOW!!! THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN N KZbin BY FAR!!! I only got 3 Green Velvet, Jeff Mills and Aril Brikha...

@@maxiqums1549 to kick out any early jeff mills techno track is an extremely bold proposition. Know your roots and appreciate the political struggle that was associated with Underground resistance as a whole collective and then Mills as an individual in that era

[@Kaxlon]

Love it! When Aril Brikha came up my mind zoomed back to the factory floor, listening to Calle Dernulf on Swedish Radio P3 every single wednesday night. We were 3-4 guys who went bonkers for those 2 hours the radio show lasted. Can't understand how many years has past. 20+ years... Greetings from Sweden. =)

[@LuukvdHoogen]

'The label is blue with funny yellow',... I recognize this because after a while you know a lot of your tracks only by their label, because that is what you look for, while frantically looking trough your records while on stage.

@@ThisIsTheInternet No, if you're talking about the Technasia track, it's definitely techno, even if it's more melodic. Techno may sometimes feel melodic, you can check it with several Detroit techno tracks ;)
