Essential Old Skool Techno & Classic Jungle Trax?

[ramz]

East Coast Science (best Buzz event EVER, IMHO!) reminded me just how much I love and miss old skool techno and classic jungle. As such, I've started to employ a lot more of these tracks into my hard house sets (odd, eh?) and getting a lot of crowd approval, I don't mind telling you... I've spent the last several weeks amassing all the old skool I can find from eBay, BanginTunes, and as many other sources as I become aware of, but I feel like there's probably so many tracks that I should have that I don't, and tracks that I somehow, in my 11-year+ history of exposure to the EDM-scene across 4 very different geographic landscapes either never heard of or don't know the names of...

So, kind readers, whaddya think? Give me your hit list of the best, in-yo-face, crowd cheeze classic tracks that no afficianado of the genre should be without...oh and please feel free to specifically denote classic/raga jungle tracks and samples if you've got the time--especially if you're sellin'... Thanks :)

So no opinions? hrmpf...

Does early nineties versions of speed racer and the brady bunch pass as old school techno? Those were some great campy tracks.

[ramz]

hmm... Is the Speed Racer mix come from Alpha Team? If so, does the B-side have Racer X? That totally reminds me of something I should go buy like right now. Generally speaking, though, I think I wanna steer clear of the Sesames Treat type tracks for my collection...

I should be clear here, guys... I'm looking for your input more than your rekkids, so if you can think of cool tracks that I should go buy somewhere else, please speak up... :)

Close your eyes was on that one!? I know Trip II the Moon was (also Acen...duh) Hmm... I wish scott henry's site would come back up again so that I could burn that damnable mp3 to CD... :)
