Electronic Music


Sam

Recommended Posts

So, I recently took interest in electronic music after listening to mostly metal for most of my life.

 

I don't know if they can be considered "electronic" (subgenres, too lazy to learn them), so far I have listened to these 4 bands:

Alpha Twins

Aphex Twin

Infected Mushroom

Justice

 

Any recommendations based on that? Thanks in advance.

Autechre, BT (listen to one track from These Hopeful Machines and This Binary Universe each before you make up your mind, he works in different genres), Daft Punk, Mr. Oizo, Mr. Flash, sebastiAn, anyone else signed under Ed Banger Records.

 

I want to introduce the above poster to other artists in this list: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ_LGarD1oU/TJ-aXLu6fTI/AAAAAAAAACw/6c5Wlzhztmw/s1600/Essentials61.jpg , but I can't find a version that isn't a thumbnail. I'm going to figure out as much of it as I can, then post what I have on /mu/ and ask them to complete the list. We should put it in the OP when it's done.

[edit]

I think my computer was being an ass, managed to open this one after a reboot:

I think you should edit the OP and put this in, Sam, so newcomers to the genre can listen to a couple of tracks from each genre and see if they like. You might want to remove the cussing, by the way.

Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can

Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude?

Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you?

Camera guy: still laughing

Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy

Camera guy: runs away still laughing

Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down

Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]!

Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

An icelandic mix of ambient, post-rock, and folk. Like Sigur Ros but not as sad and not as harsh in their sound choices. A great sleepy-time album.

Yeah, I guess if you were into metal that is definitely your type of music. Check out Merzbow too:

I'm not sure you'll be able to listen to this on a regular basis though... D: But if you can, you've got hundreds of releases by him to listen to.

 

Mylo - Valley of the Dolls. On the aforementioned picture it's listed as house but it's very close to downtempo.

That's actually very accurate. This kind of music (as well as Doom/death and funeral metal) kind of gets me on a bad mood, but at the same time I enjoy listening to them a lot. Sort of pleasantly stressing. But yeah, I don't listen to this on big doses.

That Merzbow track scares me [cabbage]less. Yes, I'm not a big horror movie fan either.

I have to download that Air album. I was wondering what that song was, thanks for posting.

 

I haven't actually got the album, it was just a track featured on Ministry Of Sound's Chilled Acoustic compilation.

Any recommendations based on that? Thanks in advance.

 

Some great bands to start out with. If you like the Cross album by Justice then you'll love their live album 'A Cross The Universe' (though I do recommend taking a thorough listen of Cross first).

 

Aphex Twin do some really creepy trippy stuff, it's great music but can be a little weird at times.

Aphex Twin is awesome. My favourite song would probably have to be Windowlicker, that song wins. I don't have a favourite album as yet, as I've only listened to it all through once.

I started checking out this list, and I must say that I'm in love with In Slaughter Natives. I was born to listen to this.

 

I'm listening to them now, actually the first band out of there that I looked at haha. (other than what I've already heard.)

 

really like it so far.

Yea Aphex Twin is awesome. I just like the intro of Windowlicker, haha. Really love his Ambient work though and his "richard D. James" album is amazing too.

If you guys are into experimental electronic, take a listen of Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus - I think many people will recognise it from the cover.

I wouldn't say that FlyLo is so experimental, it just sounds fresh.

You check these guys out if you're into instrumental hip-hop, fallout. Their promo EP is available for free download. It's only 13 minutes long though :(

[Edit] Oh [cabbage], I wasn't ready for Dorian Concept. This is wicked. This would be my new skateboarding music if it wasn't for the snow.

It's good to hear a wider spectrum than electro/house/trance in this thread.

Saw this man play a 1.5 hour liveset yday, it was brilliant.

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

It's not too bad until that synth starts kicking in at 0:50 approximately, but from there on it goes downhill. The drum fills are actually pretty cool.

Sounds pretty cool. I'll get it and update this post after I've listened to it.

 

EDIT: Way too short, but I did like it a lot. :thumbup:
