Need Techno Suggestion...

[MilitantB0B]

First of all, I would just like to say techno is not my kind of music in the slightest, so if I offend anybodies techno sensibilities... deal with it.

I am doing a school video project and I need some good techno for background music.

So please, recommend your finest techno bands or artists or whatever you call em!


EDIT: /em wonders if anyone even remebers him...

I remember you silly! But can't help you. I'm not a techno guy either.

Darude and Paul Oakenfold, can't go wrong, eh?

Makin a movie for my english class (not sure why...).

Mine is gonna be about a homeless young girl who knife some older guy (got a teacher for this role, hes a cool guy, but he to looks to nice, not nearly evil bastard looking enough) because he picks her up in his car, then tries to rape he. It turns out the guy was a politician (of what kind, I don't know yet, still finishing the script) or maybe a big bussiness man or something. Anywho, its about the following 24 hours of her life, as the cops look for her etc. etc.

It will probably be pretty chessy, but oh well.

Either way, I want the music to be a big part of the movie, so I want to flesh out the story while listening to what will be the soundtrack so the script kinda absorbs the atmosphere of the songs.

Thanks for the names, I am downloa... err... going out to purchase their music right now.

EDIT: Unless you can't tell, this movie has a darker twist to it, so keep that in mind with teh reccomendations please. :P The Fight Club soundtrack is almost exactly what I would immagine for this story, but it is so well known that it would be kinda stupid.

Hmm. The Run Lola Run soundtrack might work well for you, then!

[FlamingPotato-J]

Hard, pounding stuff or kinda laid back stuff?

Edit, Dragula by Rob Zombie may be good
Also, Dread Rock by Paul Oakenfold may fit well.

Either one, just so long as it has a dark or sad feel to it.

[FlamingPotato-J]

Check my edit. Those may work, i need to see what works for you and what doesnt and go from there.

EDIT: anything by The Infinity Project might fit well. The only problem is the avalablility of the *cough* perchase... of the album/tracks...

It was leet. I highly recommend it!

All right, I have downloaded quite a few stuff of the ones you guys have been listing. Overall its all really high energy stuff, which will fit in with a couple of the more action packed seens, but I still need something more mellow and sad and whatnot.

I like quite a bit of Oakenfolds stuff, just maybe no for this project.
I like Dread Rock, I will have to work that in.
Dragula is abit to hard and angry.
Haven't been able to find a place to <ahem> purchase the songs off of the run lola run ST, but I will keep trying.

Hmmm, might just have to merge techno with classical or something else...

I wish the Fight Club Score wasn't so well known, or I would just copy it song for song

EDIT: How rude, I forgot to thank you guys for all the good suggestions, keep it up!

[FlamingPotato-J]

for mellow and sad, go for classical, any type of techno cant really get mellow and sad.

[Triggar]

What about anything off Radiohead's Kid A album?

[Spee]

Its mellow, but REALLY well known...


Rob Dougan's "Clubbed to Death"

For more artsy-sounding stuff, try VNV Nation, though, they almost all have lyrics, unfortunatly.
