Now imagine listening to it in a time when there is no internet. It's Friday in 1992, and you've just got back home from the record store with a copy of UR003 in your hands.
Yes my man been there hahaha soon after that slow internet came, 2600 baud modem internet and it was so slow that djing wax was still way more fast and stimulating.
I play this track really loud while tying my shoelaces as slowly as possible so it's epic. Then I walk outside and get in my shitty car and drive to the grocery store. The power steering is fucked up so I have to turn really hard.
This is 29 years old and still sounds like it came from 1000s years in the future. Absolute belter. My favourite UR track of all time. Love from Dublin, Ireland
perhaps THE most perfect and almost spiritual encapsulation of what electronic music and techno can mean to us humans. this track is techno's equivalent to kubrick's '2001 - a space odyssey'. pensive, questioning, utterly serious and still deeply powerful, energetic and fresh and strong and acidically bouncing. i can think of many amazing techno tracks throughout the years and decades, but none has this confidence and epic sense of discovery and longing.
Not just one of the best pieces of underground electronic music ever but simply just one of the best pieces of music ever produced of all genres. Special. Peace.
It does not get better than this, potentially the finest track to ever come from Detroit... it transcends time effortlessly, the sign of a true classic.
Nothing comes as close to painting a picture of what Detroit was like in the early 90s. I have vivid memories of driving home, late at night, on desolate streets, while listening to this. Hearing it now, takes me right back.
Greetings from the year 2024, everyone! It's a masterpiece! I will listen to this track until I'm old and maybe in the next life! Just imagine that you are standing near the speakers of Funktion - One Dance Stack and the sound vibrations are going through your body, at this moment you are the music!
Masterclass in what you can get from 3 pieces of gear: 808, 303, and a string synth. As Mike Banks said in an interview..."Less is more!" It doesn't hurt that the arrangement is brilliant organic goodness.
I think it's a K2000. And there is another bassline in there, even while the tb303 sequence fades in. 7:16 you can hear it with the drums dropped out. Though it's all over the track.
I was 16 years old when I heard this quality classic tune, I'm still loving it 30 years later, It's Wednesday the 8th offf September UK time is 15:40pm! Bless You All Around The World, Enough Love From Clacton Essex England XXXXXXX
This track feels like someone in awe at the incomprenensible scale of creation. And I'm in awe at the incomprehensible beauty of this track. I love this sound so much.
just perfect. I keep coming back to this one time and time again, the drum machine groove is so straightforward, maintains the energy throughout, the complimentary bassline works so well with it. the acid carries it onwards and upwards and the strings set the mood beautifully.
First time I heard this was DJ Lewis playing at an early Orb gig in 92, coming out of a massive wall of speakers as I was coming up on a particularly strong pill. It was a "what the fuck is this???" face melting moment that I still get every time I hear it now 30 years later. Mad Mike has captured the sound of the forces of the universe at play and the planets align to create a piece of music that is truly timeless.
Underground Resistance Detroit ‘s finest remember back in the days raving to this, it awesome 👏 @ the time,timeless electronica 🤗🤗🤗🤗💫💫💫it was great to be young back then eh for those who can remember it.💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿☮️☮️☮️
haha great good to hear they modernized the curriculum. when i went to school in germany (early 90s) everything that wasn't from the common practice period was not considered music ;-)
I was a DJ in the heart of this era late 80's to mid 90's and I concentrated in the electro sound. I played this track countless times and still have the 12" to this day. It is the one of the finest examples of this genre. I'm going to share a track that is somewhat influenced by this song that for some reason never really broke out but I love it just as much; please check it out Mutron - Hologramized Memories
It's acid detriot techno though it's not regular techno. Its just more fire because the baselines are downright nasty sounding and the Roland 808 drum machine
This track tells a story like a Journey, an odyssey into Space with introspection, and sometimes like a lullaby i listen and remind my 20´s. This sound is intemporal.
First time i heard this i was Pilled up on a couple of doves and just sat stunned on the floor of some grimey old warehouse rave in south london in awe of what i was hearing,still as fresh sounding now as it was back in the day.I was lucky enough to see mad mike do a dj set at an underground carpark just off leicester sq and not once did he take his balaclava off which was a bit of a weird one to someone who was as E'd up as i was that night,christ i still wonder how i'm still alive considering the amount of pills i must have dropped back then,ahhh the good old days when you could kick the shit out of millwall and the old bill would just let you crack on for as long as you wanted.
I can understand that mate. Early nineties was fucking amazing time for techno in London. So many nights lost to the chemicals and the tunes, the forgettable nowness of it all. I felt the same way the first time I heard Didgeridoo by Aphex Twin.
I got this from original owner,underground resistance,I met him,when I was in my journey,then later realised it was an important artist,evn tho I already loved them,truly one of the most established loveliest music I've ever heard in my life
its one of those tracks which have a light composition but make you move like crazy. lovely transition track when you want to go deeper with the set, or go back and start to finish the set off

You just mad detriot techno and electro mean the same thing want me to call this electronic dance music?. It's acid because the sounds of the Roland tb-303 and the drum pattern is 4/4 techno common time bro.
What a timeless classic!!!! I first heard this at Marz in Coco Beach and at Aahz in Orlando. Those were the days!!!! This song takes you to another place. 🙃

@@rossduckering7048it was all the same back in the day. I use the same definition of techno as RDJ: whatever is cutting edge and at the forefront of electronic music. EDM isn't techno, but this is. If it's good enough for RDJ, it's good enough for me ;)
@@lebannerfan65 respect for your opinion and I fully agree with you that there’s “business techno” these days which is crap, or the misguided definition of techno by EDM’ers. EDM is just the commercial wing of all electronic genres these days. However when I was playing back in the day and in the early 90’s, most DJ’s were defined by the quality of music they played and genre they tended to put out. Don’t get me wrong, the best DJ’s usually had a very extensive/eclectic taste in music from commercial, instrumental genres to all the underground electronic ones,.. and many like myself might have played a blend of house to techno and Jungle in a set, or just a genre specific set like techno. But generally it wasn’t all the same as I saw it, hence why you got nights billed differently, whether that be House, Chicago House, Techo, Detroit techno, Garage, Jungje, Drum & Bass ect To be fair it was released on a predominantly techno label, played endlessly by proper techno DJ’s and has strong links to techno history. But by definition it’s structured as an electro track and was billed as acid then electro then techno. I appreciate none of this matters when the needle hits the record! 🙌 Peace ✌️
True. I merely think the music taste of today's youth can't be regarded as some sort of a standard. I think youth has no guidance today, they have the net but no idea what to search for. So they stick to the trash pop/rap the main(mean)stream media feed them with.
Now imagine listening to it in a time when there is no internet. It's Friday in 1992, and you've just got back home from the record store with a copy of UR003 in your hands.

Or you just have listened it played in a rave party and you didn’t know who is it.

when those pads hit at 1min in it just makes every hair stand on end - beaufiful other worldly frequencies. Can never get enough
Will always remain one of the best UR tracks ever, perhaps even the best track in history of electronic music.
