The Crystal Method - 01-24-98 Busy Child - Recovery

[@aaronsclassicgameroom]

The Big Beat glory days of the late 90s. Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Fluke, Fatboy Slim, Orbital, etc. Such a good time to be a music fan.

[@Cultivated_HighLnder96]

Newer DJs today don't realize what real electronic music is. I guess they didn't know

[@jamesperkins191]

They weren't busy children.

[@Dubberzz]

Well considering breaks are making a comeback they probably do.

[@ingmarganse9343]

4 sure

[@matttafakt]

The amount of work that goes into each voice construction and the assembly, the programming and remembering where everything is located / patches / ect .. you have no idea how it was done back in the day! This is beyond a masterpiece in it's rawest form here. it only got better from here out until they decided the era was over and quit.. because the current artists can't seem to understand how music is made anymore. Somewhere in the early 2000's it got lost and People aren't making music from the heart these days. Quite sad. The Crystal Method is the epitome of an era and influenced it all. Thank you for all of it.

[@MrArnow]

I guess I didn’t know it.

[@elijahmichaelm]

They make this look easy, the timing is definitely complex and they're doing it freehand. These guys were pioneers. I was 4 years old when Vegas came out, my brother bought the CD for me and I've been a fan ever since. Masterpiece from beginning to end. My personal favorite off of the album is Bad Stone. I've found many great electronic music artists and albums in my search, but nothing compares to Vegas.

[@Philbrazil]

i enjoy seeing dudes throw down on some synth boards...however the comment about garbage music...how is it garbage? most of it is derived from this music. So technically your saying this is garbage too, in a way. Everything is sampled nowadays and im sure this is out there somewhere on some "garbage" song.

[@Philbrazil]

@John Sm I have to disagree with your opinion, but you're totally entitled to have it. Just because it's composed on a computer doesn't necessarily mean it's garbage. You can still run synths to a PC, or record from a synth to PC and fine tune it. This is like saying, just because someone is playing on a controller as opposed to vinyl they suck. I feel like, if they can rock a crowd with a controller, or if you can make music on a PC sand people enjoy it.... That's all that matters. In the end, we're all here for the same thing.... Some good ass music that gets you vibing and makes you feel good!

[@jbbj9720]

@John Sm all you have to do now is put on a cd, wave your hands like a fool, twiddle knobs what arent even hooked up and then throw a cake.....2 mil

Seven shows in four different states. A different show each time and always an eternal memory

[@monmouthwebdeveloper]

I wen to this other show 1997... Simply Amazing Pioneers, all of them.. Extremely Talented folks. The Electric Highway Tour. Music festival sponsored by SPIN Magazine and BF Goodrich Tires, when ‘electronica’ was being pushed as the next big thing by various magazines and record companies. The lineup included Arkana, The Crystal Method, Fluke, and GusGus.

[@leebattick5874]

I've probably run a few thousand miles with Vegas playing in my earbuds over the last two decades. Motivates like nothing else.

[@David_Theisen]

I just love how these electronic “groups” are mostly one or two men (or ladies) standing behind keyboards or 303 turntables, turning knobs, flicking switches, and whatever to make those incredible sounds!! Just amazing to see them at work doing what they do best: Riling up a crowd and “Keeping hope alive”

[@kentwewzow1694]

Used to? I do it now haha. First heard this song in 2014 at a Magic Show in Canada and this was one of the songs the magician played during performance. I'm glad my mom got the VIP tickets, because I asked him the name of the song after the show. Been blasting this music and been in love with the entire genre since, 7 years later I'm still hooked, I'm 25 now

[@catherinem421]

I know this is some years later, but I just saw the TCM at a KCRW event last night, and Scott Kirkland is STILL killing it! I was a kid when I first got into what people these days call EDM after seeing them and many others that blew me away in something called Better Living Through Circuitry. It changed my life, and growing up in the scene is something I'll never forget. Kids these days will never know, it's a shame.

Saw them live in vancouver around 1997 I think, got some insanely good pics, they are amazing guys, so sad i lost all those epic pictures 😢

[@christheghostwriter]

All my pics from the 90s scene are gone too. But there's an upside to that. It was harder to take and keep pics in those days (let alone video), which allowed the whole underground electronic music scene to spread across the globe while still being mostly underground for the entire decade. For good or for ill, there will never be another underground music or art scene that has the luxury of developing and evolving for years before becoming co-opted and monetized by corporations. Today, the second something becomes interesting, everyone involved is posting about it on social media. We were lucky enough to live through the last generation where an underground music scene was even possible. The pics may be gone, but the memories are a rare and precious gift.
