a shocking hobby is good, although i think most in the IDM scene over-looked it. have you heard public energy #1? that's speedy j's 1997 album 9his last for +8). that's where he first made the switch from clean smooth techno to the serious noise. (attention 313 guards: i know the 'ni go snix' 12" came out just before that). that album really changed my concept of what techno can be. there used to be a real audio set from speedy j at tribal gathering from the public energy tour (www.speedyj.org) but i don't think that's up anymore. shame since i saw him a few days later in amsterdam (still in the top 3 sets i've ever heard in my life!!!)
ever since 'shoking hobby' he's gone more straight bangin' techno (electric deluxe or krake 12") you can find a few live pa's of that style on winmx or audiogalaxy. it's some of the best hard techno i've heard. shit, everything he does is 'the best' of that style. but i wish he would explore the broken distorted style from public energy #1/shocking hobby a bit more. what does everyone else think?
