Stakker - Eurotechno (the whole video)

[mcbpete]

This video may well get removed due to copyright shenanigans (or possibly not as is long out of print and has been up on there for over a year now) but someone's uploaded the whole 26 minutes of the Eurotechno VHS onto Youtube -



Interesting to note (though you guys may already know this) that the credits for the sound performance read - Brian Dougans, Colin Scott and Mark McClean. I thought Stakker was a solo project by Brian - who are the other two guys ?

[Pandemonium]

Mark McClean = Buggy G Riphead

Colin Scott - another visual guy on Eurotechno

I think they were both visuals guys and helped with some ideas for sound...

I think Buggy mentioned everybody on that recent interview that we stumbled upon 2-3 years ago...
it was called Acid Story by Buggy G Riphead - can't find it on youtube, I have it on my PC though...

Flipping heck, how did I not know this

Stakker was the name of the graphics company which also graced this release.
Humanoid is Brian's solo music.

pande......was this video included in the torrent you created a year or so ago?
i know i have humanoid stuff just not sure if i have this one off the top of my head

I've got the Eurotechno CD that came out about a decade ago. I have to admit I find it pretty hard to listen to. Each track is about a minute long so the whole thing is unsettling. Maybe it'll be a nicer experience with visuals (man).

[mcbpete]

Yeah not quite sure why the Eurotechno CD release wasn't just a recording of the above video, I think I've only heard the CD a couple of times as the change to a different track every minute gets a bit wearing...

[Pandemonium]

@seedy - I don't remember, I could upload it to youtube again... If people can't find it...

[Ross]

There's one section - track 7, I think? Quite a dark sinister one - which I absolutely love. The rest of it's an absolute headfuck. Humanoid Sessions is a bit better but again the scattered feel of it all is a bit heavy going.

I always wondered why there weren't more proper full-length, properly produced and mastered acid house tracks from the time and why Brian focused on the garagey vocal stuff for Global.

This is a clasic hiden tune on youtube

[mcbpete]

Hah, who's that on guitar pretending to do something remotely connected to the music

[Dennis]

The guy on keyboards is 'B-Dog' I suppose? Or did they hire another dude for stage performing? It's hard to recognize on the video, but a Mr. Dougans doing a live performance is actually a rather unusual view.

[Pandemonium]

Brian is on keyboards, definitely - but the question is - who is on the (air) guitar

[Nmesh]

Hard to see any real detail due to the quality of the video, but I always assumed it was Garry. The guy is lanky enough. He probably needed something to do back then, so Brian told him to look busy...

[mcbpete]

Could be him, though Stakker was a project between Brian, Mark McClean and Colin Scott (latter two doing the visuals) and Gary wasn't part of that alias. Possibly just a Top Of The Pops supplied person to fill up the stage more as otherwise it'd be a reprise of Orbital's infamous Chime performance:



EDIT: Oops - my mistake, Orbital's performance was two years later than the Stakker one.
