Seriously, it's so good. I've heard it so many times and still blows me away on every listen. I'm no techno newfag either, I've heard my fair share of records. But I somehow always return to this one, nothing quite like it.

Is Xtal by AFX the best techno track ever made or what?

digeridoo is better
Isaiah Perez
you listen to nothing but warp artists and the occasional p4k approved bleeps you pitiful child
Mason Miller
amber by Autechre
Jaxson Nelson
you listen to nothing but your mom
Kevin Nguyen
The indie kids will be triggered because this is 100% true
Noah Carter
ageispolis and pulsewidth are lit too
but xtal is probably the one with more emotion
Noah Thompson
xtal is one of my favourite tracks
Ayden Martin

It's got unusually warm textures for being in a genre known for being among the coldest in its realm of music.
Noah Mitchell
>techno
>unusually warm textures
you make techno sound so one-note and rigid when it's anything but youtube.com
John Thomas
This is the true peak
Charles Moore
>tips fedora
Zachary Johnson
It's a good track but really leans more ambient than techno. I wouldn't even really consider it ambient techno.
here is some proper tech:

Leo Sanders
>no one mentioned Ptolemy
Sebastian Gonzalez
What the fuck? No.
Dylan Lewis
Xtal is really great but I also love Alberto Balsam and Flim as well.
Mah nigga
Lucas Sullivan
Xtal and Tha are the highlights of that album.
Camden Wilson
literally fedora tipping: the thread
Ryder Gutierrez

Hunter Clark

sounds like a wonderful beach adventure to me, gr8 opening track

Robert Lopez
Well, should've narrowed it down to ambient techno probably. Techno is too broad, and I've pissed off quite a few techno boys it seems.
Name more good artists not on the established labels then. It's not that I don't wanna listen to their stuff, it's just harder to come across tracks you actually like that way.
Adam Gray
That's why I said unusually warm. Xtal's got a warmer sound than At The Heart Of It All.
Andrew Cox
Orbital - Halcyon + On + On
Orbital - The Girl With The Sun In Her Head
Underworld - Cowgirl
Underworld - Pearls Girl
Underworld - Juanita/Kiteless (EE live version)
one of them

Also wrote this directly after listening to xtal. Probably in a few days I'll say the same about a different track. It's one of the best ambient techno tracks of the '90s, let's keep it at that
Oliver Cox
>it's a /bleep/ gets mad about people liking an electronic artist episode
John Richardson
it's not hard ffs. i can't understand how any discerning fan of music just waits around for others to spoonfeed them. there's so many resources at your disposal. make the effort like so many others continuously do
Jace Thompson
it's always really easy to tell which anons don't have any friends (or job presumably, i'm guessing you don't have much call to interract with other humans socially at all given your clear lack of experience)
good luck sorting things out user, hope it goes well for you
Jaxon Evans
>don't want to spoonfeed me music? you must be a loser!
Liam Gutierrez
Alright, will do.
Josiah James
lol nice one. i have nothing to prove to you so continue assuming things about myself on the basis of how i treat anons on an anonymous message board. have a good one mate
Jaxon Wood
It's Roygbiv or Aquarius.
Blake White
>triggered outsider housefag
Matthew Parker
Inversion is the peak of music
Luis Gutierrez
>implying BoC has ever made a techno track ever
Evan Roberts
Pulse width is best
William Edwards
Chinook
Noah Watson
no but its up there. I prefer stylers more similar to headless horseman & SNTS.
acid techno like boston 168 is pretty nice
Gabriel Torres
>It's a good track but really leans more ambient than techno
this. I feel proper techno is one of the least appreciated/known about genres here
Nolan Smith
Do you ever listen to anything but aphex twin, dota 2 bottle-pissing neckbeard?
Logan Baker
lmaooo i was on your side till this trainwreck of a post man
John Rodriguez
I was actually about to say in my post that Chinook is the closest to techno they've gotten
Adam Brown
>it's just harder to come across tracks you actually like that way
you don't actually like techno and probably just shouldn't talk about it
