I haven't heard of these. Is there any likelihood of getting their material (otherwise it's just names). I don't think anyone said Royksopp were the best thing since sliced bread, just a quality pop band. Melody AM is a quality album, you could do alot worse. I would consider it one of the decent releases of 2002, a must-have in my collection.

The Ultimate ELECTRONIC Compilation: Add a track to the list, eventually there'll be 10 (very varied) songs:

1. Ladytron - Another Breakfast With You

WTF? Why did you post in this thread just to complain?

apola_anamisha 3rd December 2003 05:00

You can't do monopoly business.........if you can complain 'bout boy-bands.........I've every right to say something(true) against electronic music.

Namelessv1 3rd December 2003 05:02

Those threads were open topic music threads. If you make a "boy-band" specific thread, I'll ignore it. There's no goddamn reason for the post you made here.

apola_anamisha 3rd December 2003 05:15

May be you'll but what 'bout others........i got the lesson from the very first post I made here

Defend boy-bands

So its my turn now:D

Cylob 3rd December 2003 06:36

I know why you don't like electronic music - it's too sophisticated.:p

ScorLibran 10th December 2003 08:23

I've sought out a lot of E music to sample in the past month or so, and discovered I've got a very narrow taste for what I like. The ones I've had for a while tend to be my favorites. A lot of the stuff I didn't own but listened to made it clear to me why I didn't own it. :eek:

I guess the best way to describe what I look for is what I consider the "character" of the music. That's not to say there's no character (or even less character) in the E music I don't like...it's just that I like a certain type of character.

Favorites from my collection:

The Chemical Brothers ~ Surrender (1999) <--- (My current favorite of all...reeks of "character" ;) )
The Chemical Brothers ~ Dig Your Own Hole (1997)
The Crystal Method ~ Vegas (1997) (I consider this "PowerElectronica")
Fatboy Slim ~ Better Living Through Chemistry (1996)
Fatboy Slim ~ You've Come A Long Way, Baby (1998) (My first FBS album...I was hooked immediately, although his debut album is my favorite of all his work.)
Fatboy Slim ~ On The Floor At The Boutique (1998)
Fatboy Slim ~ The Fatboy Slim/Norman Cook Collection (2000)
Kraftwerk ~ Computer World (1981) (Too nerdy for company to hear, but I listen when alone pretty often. :) )
Lo Fidelity Allstars ~ How To Operate With A Blown Mind (1998)
Lo Fidelity Allstars ~ On The Floor At The Boutique (1999)
Ozric Tentacles ~ Jurassic Shift (1993)
Prodigy ~ The Fat Of The Land (1997)
Synergy ~ Games (1979) (I bought this LP when it was brand new. My first foray into E music. Electronica before Electronica was cool. Larry Fast is an absolute genious.)
Synergy ~ Audion (1981)

And two others I own but don't like so much:

Fatboy Slim ~ Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars (2000) (Sounded a little like N.C. was going for a radio single...somewhat disappointing. "You've Come A Long Way" was edging in that direction a little, and after Illuminati, I haven't heard anything new from him I liked much at all.)
Paul Oakenfold ~ Tranceport (1997) (Everything after the first song was like I was listening to the same track over and over. Guess I got spoiled by sheer variety of tracks on The Chemical Brothers albums.)

Cylob 10th December 2003 08:54

The Chemical Brothers & Fatboy Slim are entirely disposible. The Lo-Fidelity Allstars lost the plot after How to Operate With A Blown Mind.:( Shame, tracks like Lazer Sheep Dip Funk are top-notch.

I'm moving away from techno and into electro.

The Faint - Danse Macabre

I agree entirely. Except I would replace the word "disposable" with "timeless". :D I guess my main disappointment was Paul Oakenfold. I heard several people say "Oh, he's the originator of modern techno...the standard others try to reach". I was left flat by him. I'm just glad there's much better out there.

I also agree that Lo Fidelity Allstars are weak after Blown Mind, and a good portion of Blown Mind itself is forgettable even. The rest of electronica and techno I've heard (pretty much everything people have recommended to me in the past six months) just doesn't match what I'm looking for. I'm cursed with being too finicky and selective. :)

Who says it's a curse? Music's a very personal thing.

Paul Oakenfold probably is the originator of modern techno, for that he should be taken out and shot.:D

Amen. :)

A lot of my respect goes to Larry Fast. He created his electronica with 25+ year old technology compared to what we have now. Back when a computer would crowd a small room. Kraftwerk is great for the same reason.

Cylob 10th December 2003 14:15

Yes. Viva la pioneers!

Paul Oakenfold's just an ugly moose on Mount Kraftwerk, his genre's the rest of the herd. That style of techno will die out in due course. It's just a small insignificant part of electronica.

I've never heard of Larry Fast. I have heard of Larry Tee.....:)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...80697jxffr.jpg

Larry's a mountain lion. He'd rip a moose to shreds in 4 or 5 seconds.

Is it medication time again?

ScorLibran 11th December 2003 04:28

Here's the bio on Larry Fast. And here's his SYNERGY project web site. He didn't only help to pioneer the electronic music style, but he also invented several of the technologies used since the mid-70's to modern day. He started by building custom synthesizer modules for Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman, and worked with several early electronica bands. Then he embarked on his SYNERGY project, which is still ongoing (last album was in 2002).

I only have two Synergy albums, but I really want the whole collection (10 in all, I think). My recommendation for a first-purchase to anyone interested would be Games (1979), as this album has the first released instance of Larry's digital synthesis work. Give it a listen. ;)

(And here are some samples from Audion (1981), too.)

a lot of boy-band music is based on electronic music. justin timberlake comes particularly to mind. he has a lot of watered-down electronic beats and things on his backing track.

Cylob 15th December 2003 05:51

But it's not electronica though.:D You can dress a boy-band up in whatever you like but as soon as the mouth opens.... it's in that sad genre alone.

What really irritates me is AMG still classes it as rock. Yeah right.

zootm 15th December 2003 13:59

i'm just saying, that boy-band fans can't really criticise electronica, when it's the music that theirs rips off so much.

Cylob 15th December 2003 15:29

Boy band fans are in no position to criticize anything.:D

Filth.:down:

Doktor 15th December 2003 22:14
