Thigpen's Techno Music page

In a time far, far ago ... there was born "rhythm" ...

Here's some of my cd-collection. Most were bought but others were gifts from Todd Wilkinson.I tried to categorize them as best I can. However, I'm more of a person who just likes to dance and not care what I'm listening to. In other words, rather than collect and memorize some damn baseball cards, I'd rather play the real game. Besides, I probably can't even enumerate all the different types never mind discern which are which. Anyways, the titles with asterisks have sound files that are downloadable for your enjoyment.

If your interested in more information on raves and/or techno, I can offer you more rave-related information since I maintain both a list of Ravers on the Web and a list of Rave Related Mail Lists at Hyperreal.com which is THE techno/rave archive site on the Internet. You may be able to find some more techno from there or maybe from either my NE-Raves page or my Boston-Raves page. Also, if you either have information to post or want information about raves in your area - please take a look at Eric McCormick's interactive Global Rave Information Database.

I hope you enjoy - I know I am ... here's a link to the CD-ROM player in my lab, affectionately known as The Pit. The pit's cd-rom player is on the web thanks to a generic server and a CGI gateway. Sometimes, however, I'm not listening to the CD-Player. If this is true then I'm either asleep, getting a life, or listening to a local techno radio show called Spin Cycle.
