They make this look easy, the timing is definitely complex and they're doing it freehand. These guys were pioneers. I was 4 years old when Vegas came out, my brother bought the CD for me and I've been a fan ever since. Masterpiece from beginning to end. My personal favorite off of the album is Bad Stone. I've found many great electronic music artists and albums in my search, but nothing compares to Vegas.

i enjoy seeing dudes throw down on some synth boards...however the comment about garbage music...how is it garbage? most of it is derived from this music. So technically your saying this is garbage too, in a way. Everything is sampled nowadays and im sure this is out there somewhere on some "garbage" song.

@John Sm I have to disagree with your opinion, but you're totally entitled to have it. Just because it's composed on a computer doesn't necessarily mean it's garbage. You can still run synths to a PC, or record from a synth to PC and fine tune it. This is like saying, just because someone is playing on a controller as opposed to vinyl they suck. I feel like, if they can rock a crowd with a controller, or if you can make music on a PC sand people enjoy it.... That's all that matters. In the end, we're all here for the same thing.... Some good ass music that gets you vibing and makes you feel good!

I wen to this other show 1997... Simply Amazing Pioneers, all of them.. Extremely Talented folks. The Electric Highway Tour. Music festival sponsored by SPIN Magazine and BF Goodrich Tires, when ‘electronica’ was being pushed as the next big thing by various magazines and record companies. The lineup included Arkana, The Crystal Method, Fluke, and GusGus.

@@monmouthwebdeveloper Thanks for the background info. Nice to talk with someone who was actually there and a part of it. I've actually never heard of Arkana or Fluke, I'll have to check them out. I remember when 'electronica' was getting huge mainstream success as a kid, especially with these guys making soundtracks for a few video games of that area. Awesome stuff!

The amount of work that goes into each voice construction and the assembly, the programming and remembering where everything is located / patches / ect .. you have no idea how it was done back in the day! This is beyond a masterpiece in it's rawest form here. it only got better from here out until they decided the era was over and quit.. because the current artists can't seem to understand how music is made anymore. Somewhere in the early 2000's it got lost and People aren't making music from the heart these days. Quite sad. The Crystal Method is the epitome of an era and influenced it all. Thank you for all of it.

This ages like a fine wine. Still holds up well 👌

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I could defeat the world if I had this track on a constant loop

The live remix we didn't know we needed!

I've probably run a few thousand miles with Vegas playing in my earbuds over the last two decades. Motivates like nothing else.

Brilliant, part of the amazing 90’s big beat scene 👏

Classic that rocks to this day!

All my pics from the 90s scene are gone too. But there's an upside to that. It was harder to take and keep pics in those days (let alone video), which allowed the whole underground electronic music scene to spread across the globe while still being mostly underground for the entire decade. For good or for ill, there will never be another underground music or art scene that has the luxury of developing and evolving for years before becoming co-opted and monetized by corporations. Today, the second something becomes interesting, everyone involved is posting about it on social media. We were lucky enough to live through the last generation where an underground music scene was even possible. The pics may be gone, but the memories are a rare and precious gift.
