Where and When Bought: found on street with pile of techno 12" records

Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: D-

Sad To See It Go: No

The stack of techno records I found a decade plus ago continues to reap small dollar benefits, in this case three big ones.  This time it's UK via Germany duo Blue Horizon and their UK 12"  on the trance label Mainline.  Perhaps the guy driving my friend insane at Kraftwerk the other night with his OCD snapping and one man in the crowd arhythmic clapping at a 3D theatrical seated event at Radio City Music Hall would like this.  We, unfortunately, didn't have a lime to toss at him for his oblivious faux paus.  Before the encore he got into a fight with his girlfriend and they left so we got a little relief from the distraction.

Clearly techno music and "culture" are  not my bag, and this 12" is made 100% for Trance aesthetes.  This shit all sounds the same to me on a cursory level, so all I can do is listen to the tracks and see if there is anything I like about it.  It's basically a airy female vocal and some electronics and repeating keyboard motif.  Over and over, this shit is repetitive and the various mixes add nothing.  This would work as a soundtrack music for a mainstream movie with mountains and open air.    I'm sure there are people out there that must have the complete song works of Rohan Heath, as it is extensive.

I however am not one of them.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
