Electronica!

<< < (2/9) > >>

Radiowar:
Need to get some classical in there...

Paul Lansky
Stockhausen
John Cage

KharBevNor:
Although my opinions are generally ignored,

E Nomine - The darkwave dance band. If you don't count all those other ones. Nachtschicht and Mitternacht are highly recommended. Vocals in German and Latin.
Ewigkeit - More a mixture of electronica and prog rock, but highly, highly awesome. Great use of glitching and sampling.
Angelspit - Ballsy Australian industrial pop with great vocals and particularly distininctive inventive, layered mechanical beats.
Ulver - The later albums by the chimeric beast that is Ulver are brilliant electronica, easily some of the best I've heard. You want to try 'Perdition City', 'Silence Teaches You How to Sing' and 'Themes From William Blakes the Marriage of Heaven and Hell'. Wierd but good.

and I'll back up :wumpscut:

That's a pretty good list to be honest. Clearly, you have been asking the right people for advice already. I'd replace 'Music is one Rotted Note' with a different Squarepusher album, because that's probobly his hardest, and least accessable album (in my opinion) . 'Do you know squarepusher?' basically sells itself as an introduction. Or maybe Big Loda, because that has Come on my Selector on it, and I fucking love that song.

Venetian Snares is pretty hardcore, but the best intro to breakcore you're gonna get, and it's also seriously sweet. BOC, Tri Repetae++ (or just regular Tri Repetae. ++ has a disc of remixes and shit.) and the RDJ album are total must haves, so get on them. Goodiepal I don't know much about. Pole aren't where I'd start, but are good, so whatever.

Given you seem to aiming for the IDM area (which most of the previous suggestions noticably avoid), I'd add maybe Plaid - Rest Proof Clockwork,  Autechre - Amber for some ambient awesome. Luisine - Serial Hodgepodge is kicking my ass right now. Maybe some Machine Drum, and Bogdan Raczynski.
Fuck industrial / ebm / darkwave / whatever the hell they're calling it these days. Electronica is about fun, for crying out loud. It's guys playing with laptops, people! Don't take it so seriously. Don't take that too seriously either. Just opinon.

Stuff with singing? Can't really help. I absolutly fucking hate singing in electronic music (Portishead aside).

You want to hit up some serious ambient as well? I could recommend some ambient shit from trip-hoppy beats to full on drone if you want.

Saturday: I'd hardly call In Sides a "not very known album". It's kickass, but pretty huge. Also, dissing Aphex Twin? What's up with that? SAW, SAW II, RDJ Album, Drukqs, Analogue Bubble bath 1-3, All the Analord shit, Come to daddy, Hangable Auto Bulb EPs? Damn son, the man's a genius.

I honestly don´t like most of drukqs, analogue bubblebaths, analord, come to daddy, and hangable autbulb eps. i could make a briliant 2 CDs compilation from all those albums, but i think he´s irregular at best. Trust me, i was  BIG fan, had all his record, including caustic window, polygon window, classics, listened to it all.
and well, i really grow tired of all that drill n bass stuff... i used to make idm, you know.

agree with the squarepusher comments. the one i liked best were 'hard normal daddy' and 'feed me weird things'. and come on my selector rules.

grrraham:
i don't even know what electronica is.
I listened to ISDN by Future Sound of London for a while because I was trying to diversify my tastes but it sucked so I stopped.
I think they're electronica or something.
They make music on computers.

Hey– the point is, what is electronica? music made on computers? music made on computers without conventional instruments? music with synthesizers?

Also, that squarepusher did a cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart which is just like the original except smoother and sung in an almost whisper and it's way better than the original. I don't know anything else about squarepusher.
