  • Rock your minds at the seams. Take your fate in your hands. Deep message beyond the groove.

  • Galaga! no, Gyruss!

  • Atari or Nintendo days!

  • Strange lyrics weird synth... this is f*cking amazing.

  • "...Apparently, this was released just after the landmark track "Sharevari" by ANUMBEROFNAMES, also in 1981"

    Alleys Of Your Mind was released before Shaivari during that same year.

  • Techno.

  • The song is mostly instrumental of course. I think a few of the lyrics were as follows:

    I heard somebody saying....Heroba Heroba ....Heel-rooo-ba.

    I can't remember anymore of this.

    I hope someone knows this song. I miss hearing this. I love the tech songs.

  • I am trying to find a Techno record and I am not sure exactly how to spell the name but from what I can remember it was called Heroba. It was one word and the name sounded like Hearoba or Heroba.

    If anyone knows can you please tell me who made this. I don't know if this was one of those Detroit only jams. But I have been looking for this for a while now without any luck.

    I need to know who made this and the correct spelling if you have it.

  • The foundations of detroits 'techno' are KRAFTWERK. it really is that simple.

    Detroit didn't invent the genre, they stole it. They listened to Kraftwerk (and other electronic new wave) being played all over the radio at the time and then they COPIED it.

    but hey don't take my word 4 it. research it yourself. your come to the same conclusion.

    ps kraftwerk were producing electro in the early 70s. a clear decade before detroit suddenly 'discovered' the format.

  • @atlantichouse Kraftwerk was hardly the first band to electronic music. Sure Detroit techno was inspired by Kraftwerk and other groups, but Detroit made electronic music with a Detroit state of mind: no plagiarism. If you compare and contrast early Detroit techno and Kraftwerk, they sound nothing alike. Please tell me, How in the fuck can Detroit steal a genre? The term "techno" was coined to differentiate the Chicago electronic music (house) from the Detroit music scene.

  • @MrMallymal68 And electronic music goes further back then all above stated. It is an incredible history throughout, no matter the artist, genre, or efforts. I enjoy learning more and more as we go...

  • ...an Ypsilanti release no?

  • The first song of electronic music lml

  • Kraftwerk has been around since 1971..........i tend to disagree! Still awesome and want it now!

  • @porkasnork They have recordings (and I mean genuine ones, not bootlegs or early work or shit like that) from 1969.

  • @IJohnnyTheFox not true.

  • Skateland,denby icebreakers,v-odessy hall, northland skaterink and the crosstown bus and all the highschools in detroit during these days rocked to death!!!

  • Respect and love to the pioneers. Thanks for makin Detroit the origin of electronic music

  • MY OLD SCHOOL JAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sounds kinda like u-men by front 242!

  • nuts

  • THIS SHIT IS NUCKING FUTS!!!!!

  • great beat

  • Ouch, this recording has too much wobbling even for plain listening without being in a mix... a bad pressing or d'it get warped?

  • @shatterprone old school analog sound

  • Influences from Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream

  • allot of Juans' beata stemmed from him staying near an auto parts factory and he said he mimic'd the sounds he heard... talking about making something out of nothing

  • When was this song originally released? Everything I've searched seems to point to either 81' or 83'. Man If this was released in 81' this was wayyyyyy ahead of its time. Sounds like it belongs in 89'

  • oh yeah!

  • love the old techno #1

    detroit techno ftw

  • Sounds like a song from NBA Jam thrown 100 years in the future

  • All Im hearing about is the D. Your forgetting about your partners to the south!! Toledo, Ohio was a big part of WGPR and MOJO's sucess. Yeah I remember when MOJO did the Prince interview!!! Classic shit. Anyway Im missing my point. This is still a cold ass jam and thanks for the post. Nothin like smokin a nickle bag and playing this bout ten times. Do they even sell nickles anymore???lol

  • Very good track. Sounds a bit like Ultravox - Mr X.

  • Lol este fue el origen del techno awesome !!

  • can anyone help me out with the lyrics? i don't get some of it

  • HELLLLLLL yes..this i still play.

  • i got to spend an hour or so with mr.Adkins and had the pleasure of meeting his brother and mother i must say it will always be one of the most amazing days of my life a true innovator and detroiter-the creator of it all-

  • I have never heard this...they kinda sound like Kraftwerk!

  • Comment removed

  • @Kwarrajj no, they sound like kraftwerk..... kraftwerk were doin this stuff a decade before cybotron.. regardless tho, it still is really good.... seminal.

  • @hoodwink808 difference is the soul & funk involved in cybotron didnt exist, before juan atkins,

  • This tune would of sat well with the English New Romantic scene or the Euro Disco scenes and was in my eyes the first Electro a year before Planet Rock.

  • these tracks seem so primitive compared 2 what we make today but so vintage & unique, that it beats much of what we can do today with mixing.

  • @goohber1 Can you say talent? Making a lot with a little?Music is magic to me.They call 'em musicians, I prefer the term magician.No illusions, just the real thing.It's so charging to the human mind and body that it's usually described as electric such as electric funk,electric boogie,boogaloo,.........etc

  • WAT UP DOE DETROIT ALL Fing DAY !!!

  • @810blk southwest detroit fo life*313* all ways present babey !

  • FIRST TECHNO SONG EVER MADE (No joking)

  • @IAHASS.....naw....kraftwerk came out 1st w/numbers.....but this & that came out in da summer of 81'.....MFA.....MIDNITE FUNK ASSOCATION.....thanx mojo the electrifying 1....

  • wow very impressed with juan atkins whose tunes of electo dark of the past could actually be future music, he is genius able to grasp concept of electro dark from few years back, the tune has not dated, it is back in fashion now, love it

  • Chicagowax, Chicagowax! You keep those good jump rope songs coming. Thanks to you there are now 90 4th graders in Japan who know and now like Alleys Of Your Mind

  • this here sh-t was the sh-it

  • DAMN

  • Legend!!!!

  • absolute fucking genius

  • Pure Quality.

  • Great track, but "Remastered"? They must have been eating Rice Krispies in the studio; that would explain the Snap Crackle and Pop. :)

  • @piccanninni  Naw,it's a Record,Dude!

  • El primer techno de la historia

  • Hell Yeah!The "MFA" those were the good Old Days!!!***

  • Juan atkins and the boys heard the electrifying mojo play kraftwerk on his radio show "The Midnight Funk Association" That is the whole story!

  • wow =this tune on 7" very rare!

  • man, this track never gets old. Sounds like the stuff bruce haack was doing towards the end of his career. Long live Techno.

  • Electrifying ;)

  • WOW 1981... DAMN!!!!!!

  • influenced by kraftwerk but I would say there is about 69% of P-Funk.. if you know what I mean!

  • The band had been making music for 2 years before they first heard Kraftwerk.  This is straight derived from p-funk.

  • wow I get a thumbs down for stating the absolute truth, which is from an interview with Juan Atkins.

  • @lJohnnyTheFoxl actually you speak the truth, MOJO was the progressive during this era of time in Detroit, his music set the tone for Tecno, and also the more progressive House House...I remember going to basement parties on the westside in Detroit. These same basement parties became House.

  • @lJohnnyTheFoxl: maybe - but in the beginning they composed mainly in minor mode in which ca. 40% of all pop songs are composed, and only later Atkins used another scale which KW had used in a few of their later tracks (I'll leave it to you to find out which ;). Aux 88 still use it in ca. 90% of their tracks. There would be no Detroit Techno or Electro without that mode. Simple as that!

  • @lJohnnyTheFoxl

    not true: Atkins had 1st heard KW on Mojo's radio show in the late 70's. He said so himself in an interview that can be read on the mobeus(dot)org/archives/juanat­kins/

  • @aufsturz very tru

  • This was the SKATING JAM...Now for me, since I'm in my 30's...It's the song to drive too. Lots of curves.. I feel like I'm flying through space

  • This band was truly influenced by Kraftwerk. Alan Aldom of the Fast Forward program at WDET public radio in Detroit had a big impact on me and how I came to love and appreciate Electronic and Post-Industrial music.Thanks Alan!!!

  • 1981 (!!!)

  • Exactly. This is the beginning!

  • The history, the beginning

  • @montero4juventus

    Supposedly, but "Sharevari" may have gotten there sooner.
