Old Electronic Music = Tuss-like ?

Recommended Posts

I'll start with something I've been listening to a lot lately. It's rare to hear older electronic music with breaks this funky and recorded in this way



I think this one reminds me a lot of the ending of Alspacka, alot of this album does and only in a small way but If you have any other older 80s,70s or 60s recommendations that have similar Tuss like vibes post them here.

I've made a song remixing/mashing up a lot of the song recommendations in the thread here:



I've sampled the following tracks in it at various points:

I've always heard Fad Gadget influences with The Tuss stuff, bits of Death Fuck reminds me of Incontinent:

Tussy vibes rule!

 

Front 242 nailed it already in 1982... The 808 patterns, the weird riffs, the pads, the dissonance, the funk, the reverb:

Wow, Vasio! That was awesome.

while we're on this tip, besides Charanjit Singh's '10 ragas to a disco beat' is there any other 'proto acid techno' stuff out there? I guess anything that has a lot of 303 but came out before DJ Pierre's acid trax single

 

I have a possibly false memory of a Newcleus track which had a breakdown in the middle that sounded remarkably like acid techno. I just tried to re-find it today with no luck. But then again i did somehow miss the track Vasio posted above even though i have that LP

Incontinent was recorded in the summer of 1981. The MC-4 was released the same year, and there was one at Blackwing Studios late that year at least.

 

In late 1981 the three remaining members of Depeche Mode returned to Blackwing and recorded the single See You.[10] The track was the first Depeche Mode track to use a Roland MC-4 sequencer, which made the core sound to the track.

Daniel Miller doesn't like it...

 

One Mute label resident certainly agrees. Vince Clarke ditched all of his MIDI sequencers in the early '90s, and has written all of the Erasure albums from 1991's Chorus onwards on a Roland MC4 analogue sequencer. Strangely, despite his aforementioned love of old sequencers, Daniel is not an MC4 fan. "I personally hate the MC4, but Vince loves it; he thinks it keeps great time. I think you can get too focused on things like timing. Vince knows his MC4 so well he can just sit there for five minutes, banging away at it and you won't hear a note. Then he'll press play and a whole tune will pour out of it. He's got an instinct for it. I'm not nearly as much of an analogue purist as Vince is. I just like machines that are good fun and easy to use."

I was thinking of starting a similar thread to this when I heard this track the other day....

... Especially the part at 4:10.

im having a hard time finding the full version of this track. All the ones up on soulseek end at around 3:30. Do you have it?
