Too slow to be gabber but certainly heavier than most other techno tracks. Certainly influenced AFX twin to create harder tracks.

[@Warzone3571]

still an absolute banger to this day.

[@LtMorningwood]

Yeah at some point hardcore tracks stopped qualifying as techno, and the hardcore gabber fans get pissed off when you call these tracks techno. So then what did you call the first harder techno productions? It sure wasn’t called shranz because it didn’t even exist at this point in time till the end of the decade. Just because today’s hardcore has nothing to do with techno doesn’t mean the old hardcore sound didn’t because it sure did and even Richie hawtin and Joey Beltran flirted with hardcore. It was called hardcore techno for a reason, those who know know but the elitists gabber fans will tell you it’s not techno, but gabber house. It wasn’t until gabber fully evolved that it stopped being techno and this is only the beginning and all genres start somewhere.

[@pjf2193]

It was produced in 89, released in 90, however it was never played at warehouse parties back then which surprises me.

@@shadegat3996 Nope you're not. I was too young to understand this I was ten when it came out. I heard it first time somewhere 1995-96 on a random collection and didn't appreciate it then. Thunderdome was the thing I got inspired '96 as a 16 year old teenager and from there on trance happened it was like 10 years straight on dancing here in Finland before parties got mainstream and bad somewhere past 2007. So I have a special relationship and new found respect through understanding about this track. It's fucking huge, important and pure and I love it.

This is hardcore with a lot of classic (detroit) techno elements. Techno started in the early eighties as genre, indeed Detroit. However there is always kraftwerk to listen to; 1975 radio-activity, 1977 trans europe express, 1978 man machine and of course 1981 computer world.

[@shahirmonsuruddin6555]

[@fredtrax4574]

@@shahirmonsuruddin6555 ?? Kraftwerk were making pop music, with electronic instruments. You say it, they were a "massive influence" but they didn't play techno, this not the same feeling at all. I used to listen to "we are the robots" when I was 10, around 1980, thanks to my elder brother(the other side of the tape was Gary Numan) and when I discovered Techno when I was 20, it was completely different, except it was electronic. Did Kraftwerk played Black music? No! Again, you say it, they were influenced by Black music but they played electronic pop music, not blues or funk or soul neither jazz or whatever black music. Techno is not pop music, this is not the same feeling at all. There are no verses/chorus in Techno, the structure of the songs is different. Kraftwerk never played Techno.

[@shahirmonsuruddin6555]

@@fredtrax4574 All right, so you agree with me that they were an influence but didn't play techno and disagree with "Kraftwerk as nothing to deal with Techno" ... although technically their "Tour de France" album was techno albeit released in the early 2000s.

[@fredtrax4574]

@@shahirmonsuruddin6555 EXACTLY!! In the early 2000s...more or less 10 years after the rise of this new music called Techno! So kraftwerk played electronic pop music in the 70s and after a new generation invented Techno in the 90s, they decided to do the same...10 years after. Finally we agree, they didn't invented Techno and we can even argue that they were influenced by it, for their "Tour de france" album, 10 years after everybody . Funny. :-)

[@ChrissyboyH44]

It may seem strange to some how this was classed as the first ever gabber track when its BPM is so slow and it sounds so much closer to 'industrial techno'. Probably the main reason is because it was the hardest record ever been made for its time as in 1990 there was pretty much nothing above 135bpm! Great tune tho indeed! Sometimes slower is better and atleast theres no cheese, unlike the much faster, distorted trancy-riff stuff there is today which is also often classed as gabber!! :)
