Word I'm feeling the UK stuff, Metalhead since '95, No U turn, prototype, science, raggamuffin breaks, happyhardcore stuff ( allthough it's more of a breakz thing ), Illegal rave even Eye Q stuff but that was back in '94 ( the steve mason experience on bfbs ). Acid stuff... Nu skool breaks is probably the dopest genre to arise when speaking of well constructed uptempo breaks. Not so much garage though, cuz it's only real popular in the UK...Dizzie Rascal is dope, shit bound to make birds bounce in the club...then there's techno but that's not specificly UK related.

I love those dead white dudes, they had skills

classs....

I just got finished taking a music appreciation class where we were studying the age of Impressionism (which is the era Debussy belonged to). We listened to one of his compositions and I was like (What The !!!!) This dude was on some whole other Sh** back then. But it was still cool. Have u ever listend to this guy named George Gershwin or Stravinsky? George was this jazz piano symphony composer and Stravinsky was way abstract...U should check some of there stuff out.

shit to be honest i was thinking of the wrong song, Wanger has a opera called rights of passage, thats the melody that popped in my head when u said rights of spring by pucci.
Took me a while to realise that i was mixing up composers!!!!!

I was curious so i went in my classical librarly to see i have any pucci, i couldent find any by that name. So honestly im not famliure with his work. But i know i have heard that name before. Most likely i have played something of his somehwere down the line.

Now geroge greswhin is the man, ive played some of his peices and i must say the man was a genious. Rachminoff's later works have a simlar style.
