I got my first taste of Hardfloor when I was 16 years old, I'm now 43 and still listening to them.!!

That's a hard me too, same age thereabouts although, at 16 i was still more Kraftwerk than Hardfloor 😉✌️

IT'S A #1 TRACK. It opened my eyes to the future. Spaceships and living outside the realm of spacetime. Commanders of the engine start it up and all you have to do is close your eyes and effing move.

[@darkmantis69]

This has to be the best acid trance song that was ever created by the best artists to have ever played on a 303. Simply the best!

Mit Lost In The Silverbox hat vor Jahren der Tontechniker in der Music Hall in Passau seine PA immer voreingestellt. Er hat dagestanden mit einem grinsen im Gesicht, die 12 Doppel-18er haben das Essen im Magen püriert und bei den Limitern hat alles nur noch rot geflackert. Dieser Wahnsinns-Track wird mir immer in Erninnerung bleiben! Highlight.

[@aprildj5684]

Armando and Hardfloor always make best acidlines in every track

[@Tommyturbo667]

I saw them at Ayr pavilion in early 90,s no one had heard of them , this was their opening tune one of the best nights ever , I been huge fan since

[@mothmann23]

I was 5-6 years old when I listened to this sound in the car with my father, we had it on a cassette at the time :) 18 years later I still listen to it

[@Francois.de.Benedetti]

It was 1995 and got a DJ tryout spot in a "rock" bar, owners told me "and we play no techno in here", to which I replied I'd play only what I wanted to and that there was "techno" and techno. First night, after I got the people very warm, I started with Josh Wink - Higher State Of Consciousness (the good version), Daft Punk - Rollin' and Scratchin' and this one. From Josh Wink's on the owners were jumping a meter high behind the bar, most positively freakin' out on the music and offered me to get hired fulltime with open bar hahaha !

[@lovelost28]

Owner doesn't understand techno until that day, you've done a good job "educate" that man

[@jmp01a24]

Lovely story. I was fortunate to watch Hardfloor live in Trondheim between 1997-1998 iirc. What I do remember was being at the greatest musical experience of my life. Not gotten that feeling since. They was one up on that small stage, keyknobbing their way through known and unknown tracks. Fantastic.

[@ianedmonds9191]

@@jmp01a24 I have never seen HardFloor live but peaked to their tracks so many times. I'd have Highly recommended another band but they are split up now. Eat Static were the best live dance band I ever saw for ten years but they have split. Now they are one guy but he might still be excellent. They were phenomenal at their peak. Lost vagueness Glasto 2003 was ridiculous. Amazing night. Also Glasto 95 Just after Carl Cox. Sublime. Best Live experience ever. Luv and Peace.

[@jmp01a24]

@@ianedmonds9191 I wish I would been able to be there with you. A lot of familiar names you mention there. It was the glory days of electronic music, we just didn't know it fully back then. But we that loved the music and vibes kept the memories alive and planted seeds. I still enjoy the music today, but also a lot of the new artists that have emerged the last 10 years. So much talent around. And you don't need a record deal to make it... Just talent, a room with a computer & internet is all you need now. The selection of virtual instruments have become so good its hard to hear the difference between computer software or if it's played on special hardware, like the legendary analog synths and boxes (101, 303, 808, etc.).

If you find a box and it's silver, you should enter it and find yourself lost (feel free to tweak some knobs whilst you're in there. If knobs are not your thing, then twiddle some pots. If pots are not your thing, then f*ck off).

[@jopaakki]

Just discovered this shit - a member of Brisbane's original rave crew (long before my time - in an era called the lateties/early nineties) was showing me a live set by Hardfloor - good acid is timeless. Wishing there were a few more acidheads my age . . . I must be born too late, or something, but Iggy Azaelia and fucking Rhianna just don't do it for me . . . gimme dat acid mang ;) gimme dat 303 gimme dat fookin techno bruvva

Quality track. Bizarrely this appears in the soundtrack on Netflix's House of Cards. Season 2 Episode 13, about 20 mins in. Took me by surprise, given it's an American political drama, released in 2014.

[@HRDFLR_303_official]

+catsfuckingdogs **Yip** :) but how do you know about it? since the sound didn´t really came through in the scene....

[@acciid]

+HRDFLR I was sitting watching it with my wife and she said "I recognise that music in the background. What is it?". I hadn't noticed because I was too busy listening to the dialogue but as soon as she pointed it out it was obviously Lost In The Silver Box. You're right that it's quite hard to make out. If you listen to it with headphones it's a lot clearer. So how did this come about? Did they approach you and ask for the rights to include it? And do I win a prize for spotting it? Or more to the point does my wife? She's erm a big Hardfloor fan and tells me she'd love loads of free vinyl. :-) Not this album though. I, erm I mean she bought it back in '93.

[@HRDFLR_303_official]

catsfuckingdogs Yeah, they officially licensed this from us.i was so blown away because i´ve loved sesson 1 by that time....when i watched season 2 to find out where they´ve used our track i couldn´t hear it :) so i wrote an email to the guy who licensed it and he told me which episode and which scene but i still couldn´t figure it out.... LOL

[@degeneriert]

Vermutlich eines der Werke, in denen ihr die höchste Anzahl simultaner 303-Spuren verwendet habt. Viele davon nicht direkt wahrnehmbar, sondern heimtückisch einschleichend verpackt. Es ist eine Kombination der Widersprüche. Vordergründig einfach, schlicht und brutal, hintergründig kompliziert, verspielt, facetten- und einfallsrecih. Seit Jahren versuche ich den Code zu knacken und das Werk über bescheidene ABL3s virtuell nachzubasteln, aber keine Chance, insbesondere das, was da im Hintergrund zu den 3/16tel-Hüpfern ab ca. 1:45 abgehnt, ist zu brilliant maskiert... Doch Vorsicht, ich habe schon unseren gemeinsamen Freund Ducktronic auf das Stück angesetzt, mal gucken ob er es schafft, dahinterzusteigen. ;)
