Now imagine listening to it in a time when there is no internet. It's Friday in 1992, and you've just got back home from the record store with a copy of UR003 in your hands.
Yes my man been there hahaha soon after that slow internet came, 2600 baud modem internet and it was so slow that djing wax was still way more fast and stimulating.
This is 29 years old and still sounds like it came from 1000s years in the future. Absolute belter. My favourite UR track of all time. Love from Dublin, Ireland
I play this track really loud while tying my shoelaces as slowly as possible so it's epic. Then I walk outside and get in my shitty car and drive to the grocery store. The power steering is fucked up so I have to turn really hard.
Masterclass in what you can get from 3 pieces of gear: 808, 303, and a string synth. As Mike Banks said in an interview..."Less is more!" It doesn't hurt that the arrangement is brilliant organic goodness.
It does not get better than this, potentially the finest track to ever come from Detroit... it transcends time effortlessly, the sign of a true classic.
Nothing comes as close to painting a picture of what Detroit was like in the early 90s. I have vivid memories of driving home, late at night, on desolate streets, while listening to this. Hearing it now, takes me right back.
just perfect. I keep coming back to this one time and time again, the drum machine groove is so straightforward, maintains the energy throughout, the complimentary bassline works so well with it. the acid carries it onwards and upwards and the strings set the mood beautifully.
First time I heard this was DJ Lewis playing at an early Orb gig in 92, coming out of a massive wall of speakers as I was coming up on a particularly strong pill. It was a "what the fuck is this???" face melting moment that I still get every time I hear it now 30 years later. Mad Mike has captured the sound of the forces of the universe at play and the planets align to create a piece of music that is truly timeless.
haha great good to hear they modernized the curriculum. when i went to school in germany (early 90s) everything that wasn't from the common practice period was not considered music ;-)
I was a DJ in the heart of this era late 80's to mid 90's and I concentrated in the electro sound. I played this track countless times and still have the 12" to this day. It is the one of the finest examples of this genre. I'm going to share a track that is somewhat influenced by this song that for some reason never really broke out but I love it just as much; please check it out Mutron - Hologramized Memories
Underground Resistance Detroit ‘s finest remember back in the days raving to this, it awesome 👏 @ the time,timeless electronica 🤗🤗🤗🤗💫💫💫it was great to be young back then eh for those who can remember it.💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿☮️☮️☮️
It's acid detriot techno though it's not regular techno. Its just more fire because the baselines are downright nasty sounding and the Roland 808 drum machine
This track makes me cry because of thinking I,m deeper in the space and nothing matters. The irreasonable emotional state of mind of peace and mindfullness that only can produce electronic music. Masterpiece for ever.
First time i heard this i was Pilled up on a couple of doves and just sat stunned on the floor of some grimey old warehouse rave in south london in awe of what i was hearing,still as fresh sounding now as it was back in the day.I was lucky enough to see mad mike do a dj set at an underground carpark just off leicester sq and not once did he take his balaclava off which was a bit of a weird one to someone who was as E'd up as i was that night,christ i still wonder how i'm still alive considering the amount of pills i must have dropped back then,ahhh the good old days when you could kick the shit out of millwall and the old bill would just let you crack on for as long as you wanted.
I can understand that mate. Early nineties was fucking amazing time for techno in London. So many nights lost to the chemicals and the tunes, the forgettable nowness of it all. I felt the same way the first time I heard Didgeridoo by Aphex Twin.
@@rossduckering7048it was all the same back in the day. I use the same definition of techno as RDJ: whatever is cutting edge and at the forefront of electronic music. EDM isn't techno, but this is. If it's good enough for RDJ, it's good enough for me ;)
@@lebannerfan65 respect for your opinion and I fully agree with you that there’s “business techno” these days which is crap, or the misguided definition of techno by EDM’ers. EDM is just the commercial wing of all electronic genres these days. However when I was playing back in the day and in the early 90’s, most DJ’s were defined by the quality of music they played and genre they tended to put out. Don’t get me wrong, the best DJ’s usually had a very extensive/eclectic taste in music from commercial, instrumental genres to all the underground electronic ones,.. and many like myself might have played a blend of house to techno and Jungle in a set, or just a genre specific set like techno. But generally it wasn’t all the same as I saw it, hence why you got nights billed differently, whether that be House, Chicago House, Techo, Detroit techno, Garage, Jungje, Drum & Bass ect To be fair it was released on a predominantly techno label, played endlessly by proper techno DJ’s and has strong links to techno history. But by definition it’s structured as an electro track and was billed as acid then electro then techno. I appreciate none of this matters when the needle hits the record! 🙌 Peace ✌️
I got this from original owner,underground resistance,I met him,when I was in my journey,then later realised it was an important artist,evn tho I already loved them,truly one of the most established loveliest music I've ever heard in my life

Greetings from the year 2024, everyone! It's a masterpiece! I will listen to this track until I'm old and maybe in the next life! Just imagine that you are standing near the speakers of Funktion - One Dance Stack and the sound vibrations are going through your body, at this moment you are the music!
True. I merely think the music taste of today's youth can't be regarded as some sort of a standard. I think youth has no guidance today, they have the net but no idea what to search for. So they stick to the trash pop/rap the main(mean)stream media feed them with.
@@sooperheep you know the tb-303 and tr-808 are both analog machines, and they are both made by the Japanese. You just mad detriot techno and electro mean the same thing want me to call this electronic dance music?. It's acid because the sounds of the Roland tb-303 and the drum pattern is 4/4 techno common time bro.
I've seen Aphex Twin a few times over the years, including the Autechre curated ATP in 2003. During that set he played tracks from James Stinson (Clarence G), Carl Craig (BFC), Suburban Knight, The Martian, Jeff Mills... so the Detroit influence was very clear, and resulted in a truly banging set! Wish I had a time machine 🥲
Heard this revived classic during a Rob Hall Mix set (~hour long) quite the standalone epic set ever. If anyone heard R.H's live sets or 12 set per month , you know what I am talking about. Nevertheless, UR will always be outré to me.
Epic, this track helped me get through Chemo in 2019. Headphones on and shut the world out.
happy you made it!

Or you just have listened it played in a rave party and you didn’t know who is it.
Yes my man been there hahaha soon after that slow internet came, 2600 baud modem internet and it was so slow that djing wax was still way more fast and stimulating.
And also imagine the ideals was being underground, not clout, like, follower chasing slaves
@@billscott6819 right on man. I remember having to call the record store and asking them to play the records through the phone.

THE FINAL FRONTIER
This piece belongs in a museum. No Techno track comes close to it. This can never be replicated.
I agree you cannot touch this 🙏

This track is blessed.
Masterclass in what you can get from 3 pieces of gear: 808, 303, and a string synth. As Mike Banks said in an interview..."Less is more!" It doesn't hurt that the arrangement is brilliant organic goodness.
Still cry to this once a week
It’s truly that beautiful
Who's still listening to it in *2023* ? And who'll listening to it in *2033* ?
2024 here :)
ya man
Maybe me...?
It does not get better than this, potentially the finest track to ever come from Detroit... it transcends time effortlessly, the sign of a true classic.
high praise indeed... given the quality of output.
David Parsons I agree, if you agree that Drexciya is better than belleville 3😜✌

It is a true beast but the best to ever come out of detroit? ....not sure
@@williamhaughton9289 no worries, I'm sure ;-)
Still sounds utterly immense and futuristic in 2019. Now that’s a sign of a masterpiece.
The people writing this track were living in the year 2119, it will always sound fresh
👍 It's awesome.
Probably one of the greatest tracks of all time.
Probably?? Lol.
It IS the greatest track of all time. Such an amazing sound
Deep, deep and deeper... There`s a beautiful melancholy of an urban dystopia in this.
Mike and also Carl Craig are good in projecting this emotion.
they are the masters at it
Nothing comes as close to painting a picture of what Detroit was like in the early 90s. I have vivid memories of driving home, late at night, on desolate streets, while listening to this. Hearing it now, takes me right back.
makes a 50 year old man well up when the strings come in, just like the first time I heard it 25 odd years ago.
Alan Heneghan 50 but fabulous like all of us that experienced this era
You old git! ;o]
same here, but im 51 now lol
You're not alone my friend.
49.I know the feeling
Mad Mike and crew will live on forever for many things, but this track is my vote for the most timeless. EVERY time it hits like the first.

I was at an animal lib gig @ Irish Centre, L'pool.
This Is PURE ART... Electro/techno at maximum peack! UR FOREVER...
Believe it or not: this song is part of the curriculum for the german A-Levels in music
+Jojo S Germans know their shit.
haha great good to hear they modernized the curriculum. when i went to school in germany (early 90s) everything that wasn't from the common practice period was not considered music ;-)

Yes! Finally! How do the teachers get the track? From Ytube?
who create the first electro-musik ? cracy krauts

👌🏻
it dont get any better than this. fact. no bullshit, one of the best acid lines ever. amazing electro beats withs UR's immense strings. sublime.

cracking story. Didn't expect that ending lol
Millwall , Millwall , Millwall, Millwall - you are the kings of sweet fuck all.
best comment i have ever read. keep it real
I can understand that mate. Early nineties was fucking amazing time for techno in London. So many nights lost to the chemicals and the tunes, the forgettable nowness of it all. I felt the same way the first time I heard Didgeridoo by Aphex Twin.
Legendary cut and sounds as fresh as it did when it came out. Mix this straight into any underground set and the place will go off.
Played this as my final track a pool party in Egypt a few months back. The crowd didn’t know what hit ‘em.
THIS IS TECHNO!!!! Don't be confused with the darker big room sound that's now being claimed by mainstream edm as "techno"
It’s Electro, not Techno.
…just saying! 😉

Will always remain one of the best UR tracks ever, perhaps even the best track in history of electronic music.
The deepest spiritual exploration in electronic music.
Listening to this makes me realize that the future has already happened in the past.

The track that unleashed a musical journey in me and led me to the Masters of deep sea..👌

Never forget when djt1000 dropped this at the end of his set movement Detroit 2019 and the children LIVED!!
1991... Unbelievable for young people... But true... This UR's masterpiece is E-TER-NAL ! :D
Most young people are listening to absolute trash.

Didn't know this song yet, was making some food, left youtube open and when I returned this was playing, absolute diamond
Detroit Style @ it's best!!! Great track...Feeling back in the early 90's!!!
this song will be the one that resonates when the universe ends.❤
This track invokes a general feeling of the continuing infinity of life outside yourself.
So so so fucking good that the legendary Friday night at Club UK was named after it.
The title brilliantly fits the production.
Still gives me the shivers.
possibly one of the best songs ever put down. An absolute masterpiece. fuck me what a record
Still fresh in 2021, the Düsseldorf and Detroit combo in full effect!
hard to believe it's from 1991
In 2091 it will still sound fresh
Thats where it came from
Landed in 1991 whatever whenever
I cant beeeleve I'm from 91
Born a bit b4 91 opened me eyes bout 88 89 90
Amazing tune. Totally timeless perfection. "Base Camp Alpha 808"on the b-side is pretty amazing too... Totally different vibe though.
There's a rare interview with UR in the November 2007 issue of The Wire magazine. An 8-page, intelligently written piece. UR fucking rock.
this is transcending me to another level
The Final Frontier. My First and last and always.
one of my alltime top 10 record ever. this is so perfect in dramatic, hypnotic, the absolut perfect combination of rhythm.
This track never gets old proper sounds for ya 👍
imagine the strongest threat and the most incredible escape.. this track will surround us anyhow. Magnificent :)
Nice. It's certainly about an inevitable and definitive farewell from what was home. Strong destiny frequencies, too.

Fuck yes. I can already hear it.
Absolute classic.

wtf this is from 1991 , still could qualitatively withstand most of 2015 releases easily!
+LorenzoDeMidici Neuland this is definitely early sounding trance. post new beat. that was much slower. gotta love the acid.

30 years ago my mind went Bang to this sort of music. Now I just sigh wistfully.
You can really hear the influence on AFX, especially in the Analord series. Even geniuses copy other pioneers.
Up everybody has their own rendition of a classic sample! Their take speak of sort!
To be fair to Aphex Twin he was making music way before this but yeah can definitely hear the influence in Analord.
Straight away made me thing of Aphex Twin, a 303 digeridoo thing going on too
Reunion 🙃
I've seen Aphex Twin a few times over the years, including the Autechre curated ATP in 2003. During that set he played tracks from James Stinson (Clarence G), Carl Craig (BFC), Suburban Knight, The Martian, Jeff Mills... so the Detroit influence was very clear, and resulted in a truly banging set! Wish I had a time machine 🥲
Old School baby! I had the original pressing on vinyl.
1991 - wow! Pioneering the new sound!
Always gives me goosebumps..
god fucking damn i miss partying so bad D:
