What is the most moving piece of dance/electronic music youve ever heard

for me it would have to probly be
Radiohead - Idioteque

Executive Steve

octave one - technology - 31 recordings... its this ruff amen tune that has this bloke saying "technology" over and over again,until it just drops down into a sea of oooohs's and aaaah's and out of nowhere ths really plangent sparse piano riff comes in and this little two step break bubbles back up, followed by a shítload more amens... gorgeous!

Maniac 2000, made me want to cut mark macabe

Orbital - the Box

It's a toss up between Orbital's Belfast and Transformer2's Pacific Symphony

A few others spring to mind but their names escpae me, or else I don't have the tracklist from the mix they're in...

Selik

In album terms I would say either Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman or Leftfield's Leftism.

I song terms off the top of my head:

Primal Scream - Higher then the Sun & Damaged (from Screamadelica)
Portishead - It's my fire & It could be Sweet (from Dummy)

Bri

Right I'll never pick one so in no particular order:

SoundCrowd - Drugs / The Easy Does It (Mark Kavanagh Drugs Remix) / Romeo
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
Miro - Paradise
Orbital - One Perfect Sunrise
Rising High Collective - Fever Called Love
Sensation - Beautiful Morning
Desert - Moods
Tom Cole - Devotion
Sunscreem - Love You More
Air - Playground Love or All I Need
Faithless - Bring My Family Back
Y Traxx - Mystery Land (one of the remixes)
Chicane - Red Skies
Deep Dish - Floating (1st track from George is On)

For sheer energy:
Underworld - King of Snake or Cowgirl Live.

jonny68

Couldnt possibly pick out one track,ill list a few in a while i mull over it

Anima

Goldie - Mother
Autechre - Nil, Nine.... theres plenty more
DJ Shadow - Stem, Blood on the motorway... also more
Plaid - Ralome
Squarepusher - Tundra

I suppose it really comes down to what "does it" for you, I'm sure a song will mean something to one person and nothing to another.

Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea.

To anyone who has yet to appreciate the brilliance of FSOL I urge you to do so!!

"Orbital - Out there somewhere" The live version from the satan live cds especially.
"OD404 - Beat dis" absolutely immense tune. more spine tingling than it is emotional though...

/edit
i'm now the proud owner of a copy of Beat dis, thanks to the wonders of ebay

Scubadevils

I have lots too but as mentioned a few times already, Orbital - Belfast is certainly one of them. Also, Paragliders - Paragliders (Rising High). One of the most amazing trance tracks ever made imo.

Bri

Good ol' Orbital seem to be leading the pack. I even heard them played in Dundrum S.C. today which was nice (Beached)!

Never seen the attraction to that DJ Shadow track myself unless it's another one I'm thinking of.

Great track, defo on my list too.

Another while I think of it. Orbital - Dŵr Budr.

SuprSi

There's so much that has moved me, but I'll agree with Cloud Cookoo. Practially anything by Ulrich Schnauss too, especially his album A Strangely Isolated Place - amazing music.

Helix

pretty much anything by ulrich schnauss

I think Chable's remix of Cloud Cookcoo is just brilliant.

John

Wait, I've changed my mind, and even though it's not strictly dance music it's been rolled into a lot of mixes I've heard:

Bladerunner (Main titles) by Vangelis

Very few other tracks I can think of that send a shiver down the spine every time you hear them...think it was done on a Moog synth(?)

BACKLASH

There's one or 2 tracks off the Aphex Twin's selected ambient works 2,
but i think they're untitled, & as much as i hate Moby, God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters is amazing.

iregk

For me the most moving piece was without doubt.

BT - Flaming June (beautiful tune that)

spyro_2001ie

So many but for some reason Prodigy - Break and Enter is jutting out in my mind. I know its said all the time, But boy were they ahead of they're time, fast paced, punk fuelled breakz. Wooo

iregk

Just listened to an old tune i have there, still pure class. The red jerry remix of West Bam - Wizards of the sonic. Thats a stunning tune...

Scubadevils

Planet Funk - Tightrope Artist Tale. This is one amazing track. Only heard it on Nick Warren Global Underground Reykjavik but it certainly is one amazing moving track.

Also...

Departure Lounge - Tubular Belgian in my goldfield. This is on Kid Loco Another Late Night. Also a really great track.

mike65

I forgot about Blade Runner - Tears in Rain. Fantatsic.

Mike.

Gijoe

So many,
Sasha - Xpander
Westbam vs. Red Jerry - Wizards of the Sonic
Frank T.R.A.X. - Nebuchan (Amazing tune)
Chicane - Halcyon

Aggggghhhh,there's too many :eek:

Sasha - 'Boiler Room' (especially the last 2 minutes)
New Order - 'Elegia'
And many things by Ulrich Schauss.
