The 'Unto The Rave Eternal' playlist [YMU link] was created by myself, and is described thusly: "Some classic British music from the early '90s, both directly from the rave scene and inspired by it - from The Shamen to 808 State and beyond. Vital for those who love electronic and techno, I claim.'
This was originally posted in the YMU Playlisters Yahoo! Group, and got a nice response from Lucas Gonze, who commented: "For some reason this turned out to be a great playlist for working. I had it on via headphones in my cube and ended up sort of grooving away and crunching through backlog to the beat. Out of the tunes, the cover by Saint Etienne grabbed me the most. Most of this stuff is new to me, though. In the early 90s I was way too flannel for this genre. :)"
Playlist:
The KLF - Last Train To Trancentral (Live From The Lost Continent)
808 State - In Yer Face
Orb - A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre
Of The Ultraworld (Orbital Dance Mix)
Primal Scream - Come Together
The Prodigy - Charly
The Beloved - Sweet Harmony
Orbital - Impact USA (The Earth Is Burning: Diversion)
The Shamen - Phorever People (D's Mellow Dub)
Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart
The KLF - Justified And Ancient
The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds - Dance Mix 2
[This is the kind of music I used to dig a lot growing up in the UK, so it was great to find at least _some_ of it on YMU - though I had to dig around quite a bit to find streamable tracks. If you do nothing else, listen to the sublimely 'geezer' Shamen's Phorever People remix from Tommy D in an ambient-ish house style.]
