mugwump Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 Close! This is called the "trinity" because in the history of techno they where the FIRST influencial albums that revolutionized electronic artists and DJs..Need a hint? think Disco,Robots and Funk> I'll post up the answer after my lunch break...

That souds like Kraftwerk, but they havn't released an album call the trinity of techno... i carn't think of anybody who has.------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulsedriver Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 My guess is Kraftwerk definately!------------------ Forget the gold I want the pot at the end of the rainbow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugwump Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 WARMER..it's THREE albums actually..thus the "trinity" concept. YES! Kraftwerk is one..so you all get a mugwump hug and a lollipop. There are two more..first disco track to fully use electronic sounds and digital mixing. Became a "DISCO CLUB Classic"..C'mon people....! Red Bulls on me! I promise...(the third album is much harder. It's a FUNK album that caused a sensation in it's time for it's freeky electronic nature) I'm not making this up. Critics have dubbed these three albums the most influencial "trinity" of it's time and they are all from the 70's. OK..NO MORE HINTS!! I'll be back...

bLizAnci Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 disco wise...earliest thing i guess would be Giorgio Moroder's work on donna summer's "i feel love"..and the funky one...Afrika Bambaataa?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoonyd Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 The funk entry has to be either Sugarhill Gang or Grandmaster Flash.That's my guess anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonyd Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 or Afrika Bambaata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korzo- Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 The funk album is probably Miles Davis "On the Corner". The critics raped him for it, but the man was ahead of his time. ------------------Can you feel that rhythm moving through your system?
