Re: History of House Music

great stuff... I really like DJ Piere's opinion about "the sound"...and its nice to see all the big names talk about the roots...I never knew a lot of these things. I thought it was all about New Order/ Happy Mondays...

p.s. where does Trance come into the picture?

[SIZE=4]BIG THANK YOU[/SIZE]

Have this, interesting for sure, recommended.

Simon Reynold's Energy Flash as well.

Re. those videos, any more info on them? Who produced them, anyway to get them in proper releases?

"If you ignore the cliched, breakdown-build-anthem template side of the genre that is so canned and predictable you can set your watch to it, trance is still pretty fun. Unless you're trying to be a Sasha worshipping pretentious snob not partaking in that, in which case you don't even want to admit you're listening to trance anymore."

from what I read somewhere, this tv series never been released. so, taking this into account, let see if the mods allow posting rapidshare dl links coz' i've just found them.

Re: History of House Music

isnt ready yet ?

Re: History of House Music

i saw on the video that it was a channel 4 production. And it always seems to me that Channel 4 has a lot of great stuff on it...they did all the Matt Collings art programs too...But they never seem to release any of it on DVD. Which is a DAMN SHAME.

BTW. I did convert it to DVD and it's pretty nice. Only a tiny bit of delay on the voices.

Hmmm that's a pity, would rather have a good quality version of those videos to watch on TV.

Re: History of House Music

Thanks for this. Another great book I read a few years back that really gave me a better understanding on the scene, and one I would encourage eveyone to read:

Re: History of House Music

Interesting doc.. thanks for sharing.

Re: History of House Music

Just finished watching it. Seen it before, but it's still brilliant. Highlight: Shaun Ryder saying a whole sentence without swearing.

Re: History of House Music

you can notice that there really isn't a place in the video for trance...or even for Progressive...obviously they didn't do much for talking about the recent history.

Re: History of House Music

very enlightening, thanks for the throw back...

Re: History of House Music

seeing how BBC never wanna release it as a DVD. I found all three parts in AVI format online, I have only so far uploaded 2 of the the 3...but here they are.

Re: History of House Music

Very nice vid. Jeff when u can please upload part 3. Thanks for sharing.

Re: History of House Music

you are all very welcome. i have been wanting to share this but i didn't know if the BBC would bother making it available for sale. But they didn't.

It really is probably the BEST dance music doc that has come around. with Modulations being in 2nd place.

Re: History of House Music
