I think to be honest most dance songs, even euphoric ones, have a sort of happy/sad thing going on. and having said that.........

am i ever gonna find out the name of this?

I think this is from the Skynet album (Tresor). Not sure which track, don't have the cd with me at the moment, but probably: Skyway or Sunterrainae.

― Omar (Omar), Friday, 15 October 2004 06:55 (nineteen years ago) link

is there an original?)

the original is at the end of The Infiniti Collection i think, but these sound like likely suggestions thanks

20. Rhythm is Rhythm - Icon

microlovr

but yeah ok!

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 27 February 2005 05:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Ronan mentioned sadness as a common feeling when listening to techno/dance recently somewhere i think?

kind of a complete reversal of the old idea of electronic music = unemotional.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 27 February 2005 05:36 (nineteen years ago) link

or was it alba?

alex smoke - i never want to see you again (ada remix)

― jermaine (jnoble), Sunday, 6 August 2006 09:52 (seventeen years ago) link

autechre - vletrmx21 (if that counts any as techno)

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Sunday, 6 August 2006 10:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't believe that 5 Orbital songs were named without a single reference to 'Out There Somewhere?', the single most tearjerking techno song I have personally ever heard. The last 4:50 alone is quite simply heartbreaking, beautiful, humbling and timeless.

Underworld's 'Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream Of Love' would also be up there.

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Sunday, 6 August 2006 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

...alongside The Chemical Brothers' 'Asleep From Day' *ducks behind sofa*

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Sunday, 6 August 2006 11:30 (seventeen years ago) link

And Autechre - Teartear for that matter (but perhaps not very techno-y)

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Sunday, 6 August 2006 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i love these threads.

Pantha du prince - Saturn Strobe

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 3 February 2007 00:01 (seventeen years ago) link

yes! to "soul in a bottle" love that tune, but it seems too optimistic and thuggish to be a tearjerker??

the winner is obv "law of grace" by SOUL CAPSULE

― rio natsume (rio natsume), Saturday, 3 February 2007 00:56 (seventeen years ago) link

actually "solitary flight" owns this thread

― rio natsume (rio natsume), Saturday, 3 February 2007 01:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I am amazed nobody has mentioned "Tears," by Frankie Knuckles and Satoshi Tomie or however you spell it.

― xhuxk (xhuck), Saturday, 3 February 2007 02:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm amazed no-one has mentioned Phantom/Ghost - Perfect Lovers, Unperfect Love Mix by Tobias Thomas & Superpitcher; but maybe that's cause it's really Mahler doing all the tearjerking there.

― ledge (ledge), Saturday, 3 February 2007 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

this is my least favorite thread ever. hated it

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 4 February 2007 00:20 (seventeen years ago) link

'Out There Somewhere?', the single most tearjerking ~~techno~~ song I have personally ever heard

amended

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Sunday, 4 February 2007 01:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Vahid the problem is most deep house/boompty/west coast etc. etc. just isn't that obviously sad.

Maybe we need a thread called Hipjerking Techno

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 4 February 2007 08:03 (seventeen years ago) link
