Yeah, I miss Amp too. I used to tape the show when it was on (although I only
got the occasional episode). It was some of the best stuff on MTV. My personal
favorite was the Portishead video for To Kill a Dead Man. It was a great long
video.

I have not checked out Moby beyond his MTV hits, but I would gather
that he is a good artist to begin listening to for the techno groove.
I remember that I also liked Lords of Acid, from what little I've
listened to.
As far as staying hip, I don't know, but I think I'll agree with
people here that Brian Eno is a good historial reference point.
resp:1 Greg, I really think your best bet is to start with a specialty
record store that is ready to help you look through the catalogs, and
have listening stations that will let you sample the music. This area
is pretty big-- besides what was mentioned, the following styles are
also out there:
trip, trip-hop, drum 'n bass, technobass, electronica, acid jazz
(although I doubt that's much of a club scene on that particular
style), and many other styles I just don't remember.
As far as underground music, going to Net Radio is a real good idea.
If you use a 56k dialup, I'd be sure you're not running any other
applications. I'm not sure how smooth transfer time is with cable and
wireless modems (i.e. DSL and ISBN), but I'd gather it's better.
Check out www.groovetech.com stations-- I found Seattle and San Fran
pretty easily on Real One. They play continuous feed of underground
music that is part of the scene for the local area. I've listened a
bit to London, too, but I'm not sure what else is available.

just for mynxcat:
there was a band called smart e's that had a hit called "sesame's
treet" that mixed the old Sesame Street theme song to some phat techo
beats.
DJ Shadow is a techno DJ, I think. I'm not familiar with much of his
work at all, but I did listen to his mix of Depeche
Mode's "Painkiller" titled "Painkiller: Kill the Pain (Depeche Mode
vs. DJ Shadow)"
The big prob with techno, I guess, is that it really didn't become
much of a mainstream genre-- Moby, I think, is the only one who broke
through. Usually your best bet is to go with compilation recordings,
or just, well.. go to the clubs.

Techno as such may not have become mainstream, but it has strongly influenced
mainstream styles. Listening to the current pop trash as opposed to that of
a couple years ago, you can hear the influence.

Hmmm.. yeah, headphones, especially closed-air, have a way of
enveloping you in the sound.

Apparently, discussion on techno has permanently moved.

It's not my item =) And this happens quite a bit. This time, there
were fewer responses in the first item (i.e. here).
