Lawy Lawson:Attorney Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hurm...well, as far as "music I like that doesn't involve loads of guitars and shit, yo' I'd have to rate Fischerspooner, Ladytron, The Knife, Four Tet, The Postal Service and The Faint, although they're just kinda like a normal band aren't they? (yes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead_Fashion Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 anyone seen that advert with the horses and the BMW i think its pretty cool, soundtrack is ok i guess but the adverts nice... just thought id mention it because the soundtrack was kinda 'electronica'.i heard boards of canada in the background of an itv advert for a documentry on bullying. cool... i think.

Demon Of The Fall Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 im not really into it at all, but a few Black metal bands like ulver and Burzum use its in there newer stuff, thats not bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 i think my fave two electronica artists would be early caberat voltaire (though they did use guitars as well) and the first two human league albums. early gary numan stuff is good too. there's plenty of folk around nowadays doing decent stuff though, kid 606 is prob my fave not heard that much by him but he seems to be prepared to manipulate things to the full in a style that is totally his own. and future sound of london, stripey mentioned the astonishing 'lifeforms' album but my nod would go to 'dead cities' some crazy shit going down there!

Dizzy Storm Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 hmm.. fave electronica artists...quite a wide category really, and sooo many...but ones that stand out in my mind from over the years...Black Dog (esp Bytes)B12Autechre (saw them at The Pelican in the early 90's...was a handful of folk there!)MuziqSpeedy JPlaidFSOLand could go on to talk bout some great techno artists if you want.....! still electronic i guess...!sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabinessence Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 made up of mangled DTMF tones" what is DTMF ?I thought Autechre invented the BOC sound on Amber anyway?...and that was out in '94. BOC did well to push basically the same sound (albeit more melodic / accessible) to a bigger/ wider audience inc. indie kids, hipsters etc. so all credit to them...orange!

Dizzy Storm Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 yeah i love Amorphous Androgynous...i was always a bit confused, is that the name of the album by FSOL or a side project kind of thing?? Mountain Goat is beautiful............ooh many a wasted weekend was spent listening to all this electronic lovelyness, its bringing it all back :]Aphex Twin Ambient Works album is also still a firm favourite of mine from the day i bought it till now...god thats over 10 years ago!!sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 (from AMG)One year before Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans released Lifeforms, their breakthrough album as Future Sound of London, the duo recorded Tales of Ephidrena as Amorphous Androgynous. Charting an intriguing fusion of industrial techno with the free-form organic passages that would become the norm in ambient techno several years later, Tales of Ephidrena was the first hint of what was to become the trademark sound of FSOL. "free-form organic passages"...finar finar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellchecker Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 what is DTMF ?orange!it stands for dual-tone multi-frequency. it's the sounds that your phone makes when you dial. each key on your phone makes a unique frequency combination that lets the exchange at the other end of the line know what you are dialling. interestingly enough (or not so) if you travel in one direction across your phone's keypad either horizontally or vertically, one tone will always stay the same. no, that's not interesting at all, is it. shite.

jimr Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 amon tobin, fourtet, chicks on speed, tracy and the plastics, console, ladytron, adult, le tigre.electronica is stupid genre, how can amon tobin and chicks on speed be in the same category? Thats just bloody lazy that is. I hate genre's, they make me feel stupid. How is it ok to put chicks on speed into electronica, yet somehow, le tigre is "indy electronica" a supposed sub-genre. Fucking allmusic.com. Fuck you, le tigre make the list bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Chk to the Chk to the muthafuckin Chk.And T Raumschmiere. He's hot too which is important. joke.really? i wouldn't have thought of the mighty chk chk chk as electronic. i always just regard them as a funk band. in the truest sense of the word, except they use some electronic sounds as well. i know they got lumped in with the punk funk stuff but they're more than that, they're all about the groove. ah chk chk chk. how i love them so.i guess their new album is certainly more electronic. it's almost like funky house in places. stripey: i know what your saying with the ulrich schnauss - elevator music thing but i guess it's each to his own. you'll probably appreciate the yoshimi + yuka album more, lots more crazy sounds on that but still very very nice and relaxing. also check out asa chang + junray - tsu gi ne pu. very strange album that features the sound of the doors in star trek and some barking rhythms. brilliant though.edit: upon relistening to the yoshimi album, it probably can't be classed as electronica but it certainly fits into experimental. bizarre rhythms and bird noises with synths over the top and flutes and the like.

lepeep Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I love that Disk Dave (thanks for the reccomendation)...I love the way that ASA CHANG makes music by mimicing drums with his voice (not "human beatbox" but something like "skatting" (no, not a poo fettish...tsk).)He certainly has made some very interesting music over the years.It's lovely to see such an interest in Electronic music here, I always had it in my head that the abereen-music fan base was firmly rooted in geetars, and nothing but...so, this is where you have all been hiding !here's a question, what was the first electronic music you bought, and why ?mine was godflesh "slave state (remixes)" (kind of freaked me out to start with...oh no, it's dance music..I'm not allowed to like dance music"...(being a death metal-er)...then scorn, then MBM, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Plasticman etc....

ragudave Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 here's a question' date=' what was the first electronic music you bought, and why ?....[/quote']Three possible first electronic purchases.Well it might have been Luke Slater's Four Corner Room. But I got an Orbital Peel session 12 " about the same time as well. I also got a Banco De Gaya album then as well.Why did I get them ? - cos I heard a track or two or session on Peel and so got an album / ep.The first electronic music I won was Rough Trade Electronic 01 - its great and well worth a purchase for anyone interested in the genre...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
