Good techno songs?

[the People's Champ]

Isn't "Good Techno" an Oxymoron?

nope. good top 40 is an oxymoron

The track athernigy was talking about is top 40 pop. Not even close to techno, house, hard house, progressive or anything else.

Just get on Kazaa and do a search for DJ X, Trashy, FBI, Tony Faline, Rick West, Sharaz and any other good DJ's. There are thousands of bad ass songs on there.

People may call this too "poppy" but I like the techno remixes of some of the great Classical tunes by Mozart etc.

I also found a pretty cool remix of the Star Wars theme the other day, I like Oakenfold, I love Prodigy(mindfields my favorite), love Crystal Method, etc.

I have the song and can't think of the title.

Im pretty sure you are talking about : Lasgo - Something

there is another cool Lasgo song called Alone


and oh I dont think its techno, its some sort of mix between dance and trance.

This is not Techno! It's Euro-Trance!

yeah, interesting point about good techno not having vocals. I don't particularly agree, but I'll qualify this - a song like Silence / Delerium ( DJ Tiesto mixing sarah mclachlan ) is about the best vocals & techo gets. As long as the vocals flow with the beats, and don't steer the song (like a typical top 40 piece of crap song does), then all the sound flows together. and that is what makes a good tune.

incidentally a good rule of thumb is that if there are more than like 10 different words vocalized then the vocals are taking over. or at least that's what I tend to think, when thinking...

My favorite trance are those with female vocals!
Hit up www.digitallyimported.com and listen to their radio station! I listen to the trance channel every day. mmmm
