They did some revolutionary things, but to put a hardcore label on it... naaah!
This simple and repetitive type of techno had a big impact in Europe.
Simple? Repetitive? Everything but that!
And yes, it had his impact. But not only in Europe.
Try to find the UR compilation CD (LP?) Revolution for Change and hear for
yourself.
This style have been copyed under a lot of hardcore or trance forms, with
a lot less quality.
Do you have examples of 'well-known' UR rip-offs?
I can't think of any.
Anyone have an opinion on this?
I wonder what your opinion is about the text. Since you've heard about UR I
reckon you have heard records of UR (and the label).
Do you think UR is hardcore? Because when somebody refers to hardcore I
always make the link to gabber and the likes. And UR is certainly no gabber
(or hardcore, which it is called nowadays).
I don't know much of Detroit music history,
Buy Dan Sicko's (also a member of 313) book Techno Rebels.
and even less knowledge of UR in Europe.
Trust me. Europe knows about the existance of UR :)
Which nono made up that in the first place?
