Posted: 11/18/2008 7:12:46 PM | haha, well said satsumo! And true!
But more what I was getting at is that electronica is called such, because its all made electronically. The musical part of rap and hip hop (the beats) are made exactly the same way. And since its all on a 3/4 beat pattern, a broken beat, it falls into the breakbeat catagory.
Technically speaking. However, Im all for letting them have their own genre, and more then happy to have that form of music far aside from all other forms of electronica! :D | |

Posted: 11/18/2008 9:12:12 PM | | I like barely electronic music like The Postal Service. But I can't get into most of it, because I find it, usually, too repetitive. :S But I bet you fans hear the differences between each song. And you probly think all punk rock sounds the same. Or all rap, for that matter. Each to their own, I guess. | |

Posted: 11/26/2008 12:11:45 AM | | I like the drum & Bass stuff alot but lately im more into ambient, experimental and trip hop these days. Love bands and artists like Hammock, Future Sounds of London, DJ Spooky, Harold Budd, Boards of Canada, Portishead, Bjork, Tricky, Massive Attack, Robert Rich, Godspeed, You Black Emperor, Tortoise and of course, Brian Eno. Don't let the book cover fool you. I may look like an old r&b guy but I'm extremely versatile. | |

Posted: 11/26/2008 10:40:05 AM | Ive only recently started to get into d'n'b so im pretty limited in that regard, but I do like Goldie, Aphrodite and Krust.
I love Techno, all kinds of it, especially that Swedish stuff its great. I like a lot of the American stuff too, I find its pretty chilled stuff. Techno wise my favourite artists would be, Adam Beyer, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Joey Beltram, Hardcell, Per Grindvik, Marco Carola etc.
But my alltime favourites are Orbital, Underworld,The future sound of london, The Orb. If im looking to make my own tracks Id get stuck into listening to these artists to get the creative juices flowing  | |

Posted: 11/28/2008 8:58:43 PM | A genre is a genre. People say electronic music all sounds the same? BECAUSE ITS A GENRE! All music has sub categories... like Jazz and Blues. It all sounds the same. Jazz sounds like jazz. Blues sounds like blues... techno sounds like techo. DUH.
Whoever mentioned Kosheen - they are one of my favorite groups of ALL time. Very diverse and deep. | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 11:36:36 AM | Anything by M.O.S (Ministry of Sound) is good for electronic music. If you want good bass kicking electronic, go buy the Daft Punk 'ALIVE' album. Saw the concert in the U.S and it kicked butt. Get the 'QLIMAX' dvds and watch a awesome concert and see various hardcore/rave DJ's do their thing.
There is all kinds of music out there.
BUT if your like me...you want the classics like:
Kraftwerk
New Order
Joy Division
M/A/R/R/S
daft punk is playing at my house! MY HOUSE! - L.C.D Soundsystem | |

Posted: 12/8/2008 2:47:17 PM | i make electronic music , and if any of you are familiar with a band called Plaid , thats who i sound like apparently.
I started off with detroit techno circa "86 , but im now listening to and making a cross between detroit techno and IDM.
I released my second album 2 weks ago called " An armful of Opposite Lock " with 15 tracks of glitchey experimentalism with plenty of hooks and melodies to boot. | |

Posted: 12/8/2008 4:57:58 PM | I make music with my armpits....I lack the talent others in this forum do have. I can say i'm jealous.
I have however been a club DJ for 14yrs and done many sound and light installations for clubs. Also done live sound for various rock bands.
For those of us DJ's that can't create the music you people are, thanks.
We'll keep spinning...you keep creating. | |

lol, its funny that link came up. I've talked with the guy who made it.
On that note. I've been listening to alot of the stuff for close to a decade now. I mean, some of it is really intence stuff, and depending on who the artist is you can't even tell is electronic some times.
I admit, I've Slowed down ALOT compared to when i was younger in terms of how much electronic music i listen to. still mostly stick to the Darkwave, EMB, Synthpop type stuff mostly but I still end up going back to all sorts of stuff.
Some of my to recommendations would be:
VNV Nation (depending on the albem they have something for almost all moods)
Wolfshiem (i admit there mostly melencholic in the tone of hte music but its still really good "smart" music.)
:Wumpscut: (if your after a VERY dark atmosphere)
Bruderschaft (all profit from this band's CD [soon to be CD's] goes to charity, Forever is a very sad song but its amazing none the less when you listen to it and hear the story)
Faith and the Muse (the vocals for this band are very haunting depending on the song but all and all its really good)
Angelzoom (i admit its electric music with a more fairy tale atmosphere but still good stuff)
Diene Laiken (hope i spelt that right, the singer has an amazing voice and music itself is very deep in emotion, usually telling a great story within it [some songs tell 1 story]).
Got more but i thought that was a good place to start. If you have a problem with listening to music in other languages ( i've met quite a few people who do, i never understood that myself) then im sorry since alot of the stuff I've found is from the Germany area and in much respect in the language. | |

Posted: 5/19/2009 3:00:16 AM | I'm quite into my electronic music, I'm not someone who cares about micro-genres to any extent, my tastes range from Warp stuff like Autechre, Squarepusher and Aphex, to more chilled stuff like Boards of Canada.
I'm also quite into the whole minimal techno thing, especially people like Wolfgang Voigt who pretty much deconstruct techno and rebuild it as some kind of dubby enveloping thing like he did on his albums under the Gas moniker, it's almost shoegazey.
I like a bit of dubstep at the minute too, well Burial anyways, so evocative of walking through a desolate city late at night. Outside of South London I can imagine his first album working really well on headphones late at night in Tokyo for some reason.
I've got into local label here in Northern Ireland too called acroplane who publish all of their stuff digitally online and FOR FREE! Not just local stuff, some really good european electronica too. Well worth checking out! | |
