Electronic music: The thread

[Ytterbium]

I would say my music taste is quite rare. I'm oppressed by the society which listens to Rock and Britney Spears. So I start a thread here only aimed for us who likes different forms of electronic music.

Electronic music is a very wide term. So check here (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) to put some words on what you like or mayby find something new.

So share your likes and give us tips about something new.

I'll start with.
Front 242 - Headhunter (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) - The fathers of EBM
Kraftwerk - Radioactivity (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) - Early and still rocks. Or shall I say "synths" :p
Wolfsheim - The sparrows and nightingales (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) - Great for nightly walks.
Colony 5 - Accelerate (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) - Futurepop, a little bit cheeseier.

[Solaris]

I like Juno Reactor, no love, I love Juno Reactor (Ice Cube, Navras, Solaris -- sound familiar? -- Masters of the Universe). They are rather eclectic. I also enjoy DJ Tiesto (Adagio for Strings - Danjo and Styles remix). Oakenfold is a sort of mainstream guy, but I still like some of his remixes (Dread Rock is a fav of mine). Somebody else here...logan or maybe Hackerx I think...suggested Orbital's Halcyon, check it out, it's good.

[Ytterbium]

Yes juno reactor is great just like Orbitals songs.

Orbital - Halcyon on & on (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) One perfect sunrise is great too. It paints a dreamscape, not unlike Brian Eno's music for airports. Rank 1 - Airwave (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) Dutch pompous arena trance.

[HackerX]

Ielse here...logan or maybe Hackerx I think...suggested Orbital's Halcyon, check it out, it's good.

Not I. Some electronic music is interesting. But for the most part, I just can't stand the artificial beat. Drives me nuts :|

I was recently taken through the various genre's of electronic music by a friend (as I likewise took her through the various genre's of metal). I was of the option that something like psytrance with a real drummer would be so much better, but I said that I couldn't see that ever happening.

[Bear Warp]

I'm a big fan of chipmusic. Chipmusic is, basically, original music made using old and outdated computers (ex. Commodore 64) and video game consoles (ex. NES, Game Boy). Some musicians opt to use software such as FruityLoops or Reason.

The music itself is pretty diverse but keeps a distinctive sound, and is nostalgic as hell for many people (including myself). Another bonus is that a majority of it is FREE and available for download via the internet.

Some examples:

(To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) Disasterpeace. He uses Reason.

(To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) Anamanaguchi. They use an NES and live instruments.

(To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) Bitshifter. He mainly uses Game Boys along with LSDJ, but uses a program called Nanoloop sometimes.

[Merle]

I listen to a lot of Autechre, Aphex Twin, the Knife, Boards of Canada, Mum... all fairly mainstream as far as electronica goes... I like Jackson and his Computer Band... Tangerine Dream, but not all the time...

Ha, I just went to that site... I take back the word "electronica"....

Anyway...once upon a time in a far away place i was a little club kid and danced the nights away to all sorts: mostly progressive trance... and happy hardcore when I was feeling particularly silly. I don't really like danceable electronic music now, although a good bit of D&B can always swing me.

I will always have a HUGE place in my heart for New Wave, Electro and any 80's synth pop lol

[Jerry]

I actually produce techno music. I'm young but I like to use 80's gear like the TR-909 and the Roland synths.

I like hard techno..!!





Jerry added to this post, 1 minutes and 3 seconds later...

And good call on Kraftwerk. I am also also a hardcore synth funk fan.

[Ytterbium]

I don't like chip music. But SMK - Övningsköra (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) is about what I can stand.
Synthpop from the 80'ies, it's dorky and entertaining. Can't do anything else but love it. Erasure - Love to hate you (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) Italo Disco even more entertaining. cheesy songs sung with heavy accent. Albert One - Turbo diesel (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)

The harder kind, gabber. Neophyte - Alles kapot (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) Fell in love with immediately, it also gave me a line which I use as signature in many forums.

[luminous beam]

i'm mainly into rock music, but i love stuff like bjork, tricky, the chemical brothers, squarepusher, aphex twin, boards of canada, fatboy slim, prefuse73, crystal method, daft punk, sasha, tiesto, moby, portishead...

[aok]

....enduser, gein, tech itch, venetian snares, dylan, limewax, robyn chaos, mumblz, submerged, etc....

[deepFlow]

I enjoys (no particular order): Vangelis, Future Sound of London, Brian Eno, The Orb, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, Air, Deep Forest, some Tangerine Dream that I've heard, and some Kraftwerk that I've heard.

I like this thread. It shall provide me with musics new to me that I shall explorate.

[Lucid]

Kiew
This Morn Omina

[eclecticjoker]

I love The Pinker Tones. They're sort of... electronic pop. They're no techno or trance, but they're definitely electronic.

[Ytterbium]

Mental Destruction is pretty crazy, though their cds have been out of print for a good while now. They're really harsh industrial/noise (like stuff you can annoy the neighbors with;D). Straw is their best cd.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.


My other favorites are In Slaughter Natives (martial industrial/classical/dark ambient), Letum (dark ambient), and Atrium Carceri (dark ambient). I like plenty of others, though; mostly dark ambient.

I'm a big fan of chipmusic. . .

Woah, woah man . . . how can you not mention Nullsleep? From what I understand, he's more or less the father of gameboy-composed tunes.

Saw him live last summer, it was really inspiring.

I like electro(funk), italodisco, some acid, electroclash... mostly electronic music that doesnt have that annoyingly present pounding bassbeat...

I really like the Dutch Westcoast Underground. Artists related to Bunker, Clone or the Cybernetic Broadcasting System (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.). A lot of their music can be produced live using synthesizers, drumcomputers, vocoders and the like...

Interesting docu on the Dutch underground (with a lot of nice music as well and a it's also a nice intro intoduction on the Dutch language (it has subtitles)):

As an open-minded music appreciator (heh), I will try some recommendations. Yes, you won't get any list because I haven't really approached electronic music. Anyway, a bunch of thanks!

[Ytterbium]

Vangelis - Chariots on fire (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)
Modern talking - You're my heart you're my soul (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) (and a Hungarian parody (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.))
I think modern talkings re-releases in the late 90'ies was the start for heavier electronic music, atleast for my generation. It's all their fault.

electronic music always interested me. it has arguably the most potential but i've never heard it done, and the clips the trance sounds users seem to use arn't nearly as detailed or engaging as a live recording. and the journeys arn't quite as entrancing, attention grabing, relaxing, or transporting. it seems like their goal for perfection is in the wrong areas.

maybe the trance i listened to back then (yes di.fm and such) wasn't as good as it may be now, but nothing could come close to the polyrhythmns of a skilled band, the beauty of live instruments and solos, and atmosphere, etc. The idea that trance forgets about old artists says something about the music, in every other genre there is a work of art that stands the test of time and will always be cherished. This itself says the compositions arn't as strong as they could be. From what i remember, while interesting stuff goes on in trance, it all seems to have the basic trance flavor and sounds the same, not changing moods as dynamically as other genres, and keeping the same electronic tinge.

A lot of the trance these days falls under the progressive/commercialized sub genre. The good stuff is old school 90's and 2000. Furthermore, there are many sub genres, albeit lesser known, that are under trance.

*Goa/Psy
*Hard Trance
Acid
nrg
*Euro Trance
Progressive
Anthem
Epic
Ibiza
*Industrial
EBM
Electro


Taste of some Goa/Psy:

A lot of the trance these days falls under the progressive/commercialized sub genre. The good stuff is old school 90's and 2000. Furthermore, there are many sub genres, albeit lesser known, that are under trance.

I can only speak about psy-Trance because I have been a psy dj in 2005 (I did about 10 underground raves). It may sound paradoxical for an 100% introverted INTJ. I was the worst entertainer but an excellent dj (technically). I didn't enjoyed at all giving a show anyway and that's why I stopped and I was too nervous during my sets.

I think psy-trance is one of the most popular sub genre actually and one of the fastest (143-148 bpm) and there are a lot of big festivals around the world. There are a lot of good artists (Sirius Isness, CPU, Perplex, Bizzare Contact, Talamasca, Cosmic Tone are among my favorites). Even in Psytrance there are sub-genres such as morning, Fullon and nightime psy.

I agree with you that there is a lot of good stuff in the 90's and I still enjoy some old hallucinogen and Astral Projection.

I would say that the mentality in raves (at least in Quebec) is that everything that is new is better than the old stuff. People do not appreciate a track that has been played for more than 6 month. It's sad in a way but there is so much new releases coming out every week...A ''good'' dj will have unreleased material and new tracks every different set, in original WAV format.

I sill listen to some psytrance but a lot less than before and I still enjoy counting automatically loops of 32 bars ;)

[Ytterbium]

1200 micrograms linked to in this thread was just super toll as they say in Germany. Old men doing psy-trance and having electric guitars. Just wicked!

Well if you like psytrance with guitars there is the excellent S.U.N. Project from Hamburg...I think their last album was released in 2005 (and the album name is Wicked:laugh:) Here is some of their work:

These 3 guys do an insane live act with guitars and drums.:thumbsup:

[slask]

Milieu is a not-too-well-known chillout, ambient artist with elements of IDM and all that jazz. Anyways, he got this great album that can be downloaded for free (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)! I really recommend this album in particular if you like Boards of Canada and the like. The album got a soft sound/theme to it that I just love.

Anyways, he's not too well known I think, still got some really great tracks, enjoy. :)

I do.

I'm especially into the darker, faster, harder side of drum and bass.

In fact, I'm going to an electronic music event this Halloween.

Nice photo.

[EatMeerkats]

Yes! I do too.

[schwartzie]

yep-like aok. electrocore is a favorite, but there is a huge range of electronic music these days, from simple house and trance to electronic viking metal! Always lookin' for good music if anyone has suggestions.

I love bands like anathema that have a range -- they run from terrific doom metal to near-ambient, like "are you there." (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)

[PortInStorm]

I'm really a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I've started listening to this house mix Podcast called "podrunner", and I REALLY like it, way more than I thought I would.

[schwartzie]

check di.fm and sky.fm radio lots of flavors of electronica to sample.

[SmileyMan]

I enjoy BT (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.).

I am big on Goa Psy Trance, can't stop listening to that. I like the hypnotic effect of electronic music and the endless layers of sounds... Like ethereal draperies.

[EatMeerkats]

I enjoy BT (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.).

That is one of his best songs too.

[SmileyMan]

That is one of his best songs too.

I agree when we're talking the genre 'electronica', but he has also made a very good soundtrack for the movie "Monster" where he only used "normal" instruments.

[nat]

I do, a lot.

[Solaris]

Goa Psy Trance is something I like a lot. There's so much out there, though, that I'm still getting into it -- even after 3 years. I can spend months listening to one or two pieces, really soaking in all their layers. I like Juno Reactor a lot (that's where this nick came from), but will usually check out any kind of electronic music I can find.

[schmidt]

I listen to a lot of "Oldschool EBM" (Sturm Café, Frontal, Kropp, Spark!, Tech Nomader, UMM, Container 90) and old EBM (DAF, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Die Krupps, Escalator).
And to Kraftwerk, Gods among man.

And I used to listen to a lot of trance and psytrance (mainly full on) a couple of years back.

I like simple music or extremely layered with everything tuned to perfection.

[Kisai]

I love electronica. Hybrid is my favorite group ever since I saw them open for Moby in San Francisco. I also like Fluke, Paul Oakenfeld, The Crystal Method, Orbital, Sasha, and Front 242.

[enWTFp]

To me there are no styles and genres. It's all one thing: music.

It's abstract, and like mathematics is the same behind robots and behind corals, music is the same behind styles.

Therefore, for me, J.S.Bach and J.M.Jarre are very close, their patterns are so similar in beauty and simplicity. Electronic music is useful for the richness of sound spectrum it provides for the melody. My favourite pieces go from JMJ and Vangelis, through all forms of progressive rock, like Yes and Genesis, then synthpop and electropop, like New Order and Depeche Mode, modern electronica like Ladytron and Digitalism, to popular rock bands with beautiful electro sounds like Coldplay, and Radiohead who along with Air connect this field also with minimalism, and we get back to the roots of Glass and Cage, followed by Kraftwerk. This variety more or less covers the full diapason of what is most interesting to me, which I sometimes call progressive minimalism. Oh, and The Prodigy must be included, definitively.

The most important for me is not how obscure or influential an author is, only the music. Creative melodies beat any other details.

Greetings with Pulstar by Vangelis:

I used to have Tangerine Dream stuff, I lost it though. :(

I have a DJ Shah mix I really like as well. I'll see if I can find it on youtube again.

Did we mention Dj Tiesto yet? Because if not, we should! I like this (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) version of UR. Here's a clip of the Danjo and Styles Remix of Adagio for Strings (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) by him as well. I like that remix, but the recording is a little...well, it's Youtube, give it some slack!

Edit: Found it! Here (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) is the first part of the DJ Shah mix I mentioned. I still get an excited feeling in the pit of my stomach when I hear it, and I've listened to it probably hundreds of times. I love it running, I love it sitting....if I were Sam in Dr. Seuss' books, this song would be my green eggs and ham.

Doesn't anyone else like dark ambient at all?


The concept of dark ambient appeals to me, but I've yet to find anything I actually like.

For the most part, when it comes to 99% of the electronic music I've listened to:
I. CAN'T. STAND. THE. FUCKING. BEAT.
Use a real drummer you bastards! :P


A friend recommended I listen to Frou Frou... and I didn't mind that at all. Softer and downbeat. I haven't given it a good listen though.

I love bands like anathema that have a range -- they run from terrific doom metal to near-ambient, like "are you there." (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)

aka - Closer.
Anathema doesn't really fit anywhere close to the electronic music genre though, lets not go misleading people :P (Anathema happens to be a favourite of mine)

[anamatria]

I've been listening to a lot of electro clash style electro lately. Danceable, dark and interesting.

And I thought you were talking about Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds and Vangelis.

[Sunshine]

I have many, many I could list right now, but most of you have covered them all.

I have to say, as a Portishead fan, I REALLY enjoy their latest (Third), which just doesn't seem like your average "trip hop" or electronic music album.

I would say my 3 fav electronic music albums of all time are:

U.N.K.L.E. - Psyence Fiction
Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett (ok, not technically electronic..but still)
Daft Punk - Discovery

[Blackswan]

Justice - Cross
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours

...two recent favorites of mine.

i'm really into the ambient genre for just listening to/singing along to music.
when i wanna dance, i listen to electro/drum and bass/power pop. i can tck. can you?
;) mmhmm.

[RetroRick21]

I like electro(funk), italodisco, some acid, electroclash... mostly electronic music that doesnt have that annoyingly present pounding bassbeat...

I really like the Dutch Westcoast Underground. Artists related to Bunker, Clone or the Cybernetic Broadcasting System (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.). A lot of their music can be produced live using synthesizers, drumcomputers, vocoders and the like...

Interesting docu on the Dutch underground (with a lot of nice music as well and a it's also a nice intro intoduction on the Dutch language (it has subtitles)):

OMFG!!! I never thought i'd see someone with the same taste in music as me!!!! I friggin love electro and italo-disco!! And Alden Tyrell rocks my effing socks off man! I also don't like that lame bassbeat...I'm embarassed by it, even with headphones on...lol

I often find myself mindlessly flicking through italo-disco tracks on last.fm in the hopes of finding a new track for my collection. BWH's 'Stop' is my new thing for now lol (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)

I don't go out of my way to find this type of music but I've generally liked what I've heard and it tends to be all over the electronic spectrum:

Tosca, Blue Man Group, Zero 7, Boards of Canada, Covox, Bit Shifter, Nullsleep, MC Honkey, Air, and DJ Kaos is some of what I've heard so far. I haven't dug too deep into the genre.

[Polymath]

My favorite electronic (ambient) album is probably Dreamtime Return by Steve Roach. Most of the tracks have this awesomely vast, peaceful cosmic feel to them. Total must-listen. Other than that I've also been listening to some Autechre, Monolake, Boards of Canada and Biosphere lately. I'm also a big fan of OCRemix.org, that site with all the fan remixes of classic video game tunes.
