Hi there..

I came here for nostalgia:

Back in the days when I was playing AQ2, there was this map that had a club in it, and in the club was a DJ cabin with 2 turntables. When you "used" these, each turntable would play a drum'n'bass/jungle loop, and with good timing you could actually get a decent mix.

And these loops were what brought me as a rocker/metalhead (which I'm still today) to electronic music.
So, does anyone know what map this may have been? I'd really like to get my hands on those loops. Or, even better, on the tracks that they were from.

Cheers,

The music in the map downtown?

This is what the mapdoc says:

Oh you weak wanker you... NEVER surrender to disco!!!

Well I've kind of surrendered too, to the mafia tune in... map riot2 I think (can be heard in bwcity2-3 or whatever too). That's my sms-signal nowadays

No, downtown is not it, unfortunately.

Don't ever call it disco. "Disco" is a world inhabited by guys in their late 20s who wear pink polo shirts and white sneakers and try to impress girls with daddy's paycheck.

I'm underground, man. I know people who throw illegal techno parties and stuff.


And there's more metalheads who listen to techno than you would think.

I'm about to lose my mind here.

There's a list of more than 300 maps for download at
http://www.lahtela.com/aq2suomi/maps/


and I've downloaded about 280 of them now....still no success.

The map had an urban environment which I think was divided in two, an underground tunnel between these two areas, a way over the rooftops...and of course that disco/club thing.

I think know which map you mean. I just can't remembe the name. I'll see if I can't find it right now...

EDIT: plaza3?

there arnt any turntables?

is it a older/newer map

I posted this to AQ2Suomi, maybe someone there knows it.

Thanks a bunch.

Eradicate the weak sluts!

Respect to you for doing stuff for your scene, but FUCK the scene. I wont go there, it's fucken DISCO!

And there's more metalheads who listen to techno than you would think.

Ye. New and old metalheads might do that. I feel NO respect for the discho-listening fucktards though. I stay to rockn'roll, and the roots of it. Period.

You probably call it "true". I would call it "narrow-minded" if I were in a bad mood, but I was kidding anyway. Not about the illegal parties, but about being so serious about it.

See, in my eyes, every kind of music has its value, if only it comes from the heart. Now if you think of someone merely clicking notes together with some kind of software on a PC and then, if at all, recording a primitive melody from his keyboard, you might wonder "Where's the soul in that?"

But I also see people sitting in front of their PCs who love rhythm and strange sounds, and they do make an effort to make it sound cool for themselves and as many other people as possible, because they love the way their music sounds, and that's what it's all about. Loving the music.

Now if you pick up an e-guitar, shred some uninspired riffs at max distortion with the eq set to all treble and bass, have someone throw some straight 4/4 double-bass drums over that and growl something about death and destruction into the mic, it'll be "real music" as far as the use of instruments is concerned, but it will also be a soulless progression of different notes, just as techno can be, or any other kind of music for that matter.

What I feel is that listening to half-assed rock music is more treason to your rock'n'roll roots than having an album in your shelf by an electro artist who really knows how to throw some fat beats, because rock'n'roll is not about fucking e-guitars, it's a way of life, and I don't think it matters by what means you walk the way. The direction is what counts.
Shit, when rock'n'roll came up, how many people do you think said that it was "not real music"? And rock'n'rollers said "fuck that, we do our thing", and now you're here as a rocker hating on the disco scene because...yeah, because of what?

So here I go, speaking on behalf of all the fucktard metalheads who listen to techno, and I say: "Fuck that, we do our thing."


LIKING or disliking certain kinds of music is an entirely different matter, of course. But either way, there's no need to be hating.

Good too see you ain't a dumbass when it comes to music.

Trouble is, I am when it comes to disco. I don't mind one bit if you call that narrow-minded or whatever. That's how I feel about it.

If you're into downloading, see if you can get ahold of the David Peel & The Death-o-lettes/pp7 Gaftzeb & Pow Wow split 7"

That first song on the D.P side pretty much sums up how I feel about it

I might just check it out.
