Electronica!
« on: 27 Jul 2005, 06:10 »

Since we have a hiphop thread, I thought we needed a combined recommendation/discussion thing about electronica.
You see I have never really heard electronica except a bit danish dub, so I decided to make a list of stuff to own.
I have these so far:

Boards of Canada - Music has the Right to Children
Venetian Snares - Ross something something in hungarian
Aphex Twin - The Richard D. James album
Squarepusher - Music is Rotted One Note
Autechre - Tri Repetae++
Goodiepal - Narg Beacon
Pole - 1

But then I figured that some of those are a bit heavy to get into without any previous "experience", any more gentle way of getting into electronica?
uh and recommendations, lots of them!

Orbital - In Sides is a not very known album, but it´s incredible. From the golden age of electronic stuff (1995-1997, imho), 2 CDs full of ambient, beatiful sampling, great beats, nice progressions. not very danceable but it´s one of my favourite albums ever.
All Autechre is good.. .it´s one of my favourite bands ever. Check out Amber, and LP5... they are a weird band... with the years they started to evolve and evolve and evolve and now they are basically an avant-garde band. very difficult listen. but i still like them.
All Boards of Canada stuff is great... their other album, Geogaddi, is top stuff.
I don´t care much about Aphex Twin (imho, he´s incredibly overrated), but his Selected Ambient Works (one is called 85-92 and the other is II) are good, good quality stuff.
Other bands

Plaid
Múm
Manitoba AKA Caribou
The Books
DNTEL (the guy behind the postal service)
Kraftwerk / Depeche Mode (obvious ones)
Early Brian Eno (his ambient experiments, specially Music for Airports.. beatiful album... also his early albums are incredible, but it´s glam-rock, not electronica)
If you´re interested in early industrial, check Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire, The Soft Cell, Download, Skinny Puppy.
Adult. , and Ladytron are often called Electroclash but i think they make actually pretty good music in their own.

hmmm, lemme think...

Wumpscut's some good ebm/industrial dance
The Echoing Green is some good electronica, inspired by new wave.
Freezepop is a good synthpop group whose music sounds like it was made on a gameboy.

Those aren't really 'electronica' in the same way you're describing it, though.

Future sound of London
Saint Etienne
Paul Van Dyk - Seven Ways
Most Nine Inch Nails Remix Albums (some of them suck, some of them rule)

I'll have to come back to this. All I can think of right now are mainstreamy dance things.

Lamb? mmmmmmmmmmm...................

The Postal Service
DNTEL (has vocals)
The Notwist (indie-electronica, their album neon golden is pretty nice, this is definately a good start!)
Portishead (if you can still stand trip-hop)
Massive Attack (mezzanine and protection is quality stuff)
Also Primal Scream (vanishing point, xtrmntr), though i´m not a fan.

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.

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.

man, that love will tear us apart cover is weak, and really not representative of squarepusher at all.

(which is sad, cos it had the potential to be awesome -- by which i mean tear the original to bits and make an fuckoff burndown mess of it :P)

electronica is music made with electronic things (by my standards, anyway). i've always resented the genre -- it's about as useful as "guitar-drums-and-bass-tronica" might be for classifying pretty much every conventional 3-piece band.

broken spindles - joel petersen from the faint. really good.

adult. - moody detroit-style electro, with odd (and good) vocals.

robots in disguise - british girl electro-indiepop. great. get it!

japanese telecom - comparable to adult, but more accessible, less vocal. good.

'Electronica' is a catch-all genre, like 'classical'. It covers many individual genres.

Here are some of the major 'electronica' genres, and some artists who represent the genre best (IMO)

Dance - I hate this genre, so I can't really suggest anyone.
Techno - Orbital
Ambient - Plastikman
Noise - Autechre
Drum and Bass - Prodigy, Leftfield
House - Derrick May
Trance - Astral Projection

There are many other genres and sub-genres (especially in House, Dance, and Trance genres (see goatrance, hardtrance, darktrance and psytrance). I'd suggest listening to some of the major genres above, picking which ones you like the most, then getting advice as to other good artists in that genre.

I'll make some more suggestions, but first, seriously, Angelspit are particularly awesome, especially as their whole first EP is available on their website (or it would be if their site wasn't down). First google result if you want to check. But none of my selections were duff. Ulver in particular is I think really a treat that electronica fans are missing out on simply because Ulver are more part of the Norwegian post-black metal scene (which incorporates it's good bit of electronica. Aborym have entire, diseased satanic ebm dance tracks, and ...And Oceans mix bleak, soul-less landscapes of black metal and trance music).

ANYVAY.

Berzerker - Kind of hard to track down. 'Berzerker' is the name the singer and drum machine programmer of speedcore death metal nutcases 'THE Berzerker' (note the difference) produced his solo hardcore/speedcore albums under. They're pretty nice, twisted, experimental stuff. If you've got the balls, you can try the 500 bpm 909-kick meets death vox and shred guitar approach of The Berzerker as well. I'd recommend it, but most would not like.
Burzum - Oh noes, black metal you say. Well, the last two Burzum albums, 'Daudi Baldrs' and 'Hlidskjalf' are pure ambient keyboard stuff. Hypnotic, dark and utterly luverly.
Wolfsheim - Has no one mentioned these guys yet? Pity. There's a few things that get named 'pop' music that I am not actually averse to, and futurepop is one of these. And Wolfsheim are, like, the best futurepop band ever. Totally.
Gothminister - Gothminister are a factory of evil that spends it's time cranking out pounding EBM/darktrance anthem after pounding EBM/darktrance anthem. One of those bands where every song has twelve different remixes. All of them great.
Infected Mushroom - Personally, my favourite goa band. Not that I listen to large amounts of goa.
Lacrimosa - Classic pure electronic darkwave band that later began to pick up elements of symphonic metal and hard rock. I personally like it all, but others may want to gravitate towards earlier releases.
TISM - Who knows what the fuck TISM are? All our scientists have been able to ascertain is that they are danceable, involve drum machines and synths and rock seriously hard. You at least have to hear '(He'll Never Be) An Old Man River'
Vangelis - Vangelis is the daddy. You will have heard his scores for films such as Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner. You may not have realised that all his stuff is that cool.

Also, we are HEAVILY, HEAVILY missing the staple classics of Industrial. You must at least sample Skinny Puppy, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Ministry and KMFDM (please, early nineties stuff), and preferably all the less accessible stuff like Throbbing Gristle and Coil.Oh, and KOMPRESSOR. BECAUSE OTHERWISE HE WILL CRUSH YOU WITH MUSIC MIGHT. Hanzel and Gretyl, Zeromancer, Subway to Sally and Rammstein (if you've somehow escaped them) also come highly recommended on the 'good industrial rock' side.

I'm also going to back up :wumpscut: (Most strongly) and Patrick Wolf.

More may come to me, so stay tuned.

Coil released some very notable electronic albums in the 90s.  These included:

- Love's Secret Domain  (If you like glitch, go here.  You won't look back, I swear)
- Black Light District: A Thousand Lights In A Darkened Room
- Time Machines
- Musick To Play In The Dark, V1

...All out of print, I think.  You'll have to download them.

Also here is a roughly chronological album-by-album summation of the development of the industrial/post-industrial style that KharBevNor touched on, for all of you to download:

- Throbbing Gristle - The First Annual Report  (First ever studio recording, but was not released until 2001 sadly enough)
- Suicide - Suicide
- Nurse With Wound - Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An Umbrella
- DAF - Ein Produkt Der...
- SPK - Information Overload Unit
- Whitehouse - Erector  (One of the foundations of the "power electronics" sound)
- You've Got Foetus On Your Breath - Deaf
- Clock DVA - Thirst
- Portion Control - I Staggered Mentally
- The Virgin Prunes - ...If I Die, I Die
- Einstürzende Neubauten - Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T.
- Current 93 - Dog's Blood Rising
- Coil - Horse Rotorvator
- Skinny Puppy - Cleanse, Fold And Manipulate
- Death In June - The Wall Of Sacrifice

Kid 606 - madness ++
DJ Shitmat - ace fun
Caribou - ex manitoba, good stuff!
Boredoms - kinda electronica, more drum and bassey, if you like Melt Banana and that ilk, this guy is what started it all!
Lexaunculpt - weird electonica/opratic based stuff

Thats some stuff i've not seen mentioned in this thread (I think) but basically, just take a look through a label like Mu records,etc and you'll probably find some artists you like!

A good inexpensive option is to get your hands on a Leaf Label sampler like this one or this one.  
This is the label that houses pretty much everything, from your more danceable-sounding (but no less innovative) end of electronica (e.g. Manitoba/Caribou) to more minimalist-kinda stuff (eg Asa-Chang & JunRay) so you can get a fairly good idea of the broad spectrum on their label.

The other biggie label for this is probably without a doubt Warp Records  for Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher et al, as well as Prefuse 73, who have a slight hip-hoppy tinge to what they do.   Check out the wonderful mr. Jamie Lidell from there, who does some insanely amazing glitched-up and distorted funk soul brutha sounds.

Ooo oo oo and for the indie poppy stuff with singing (or perhaps the other way round, bearing in mind your request! ;))---> "Hot Chiiiip, Hot Chiiiip!"
Saw them recently with LCD Soundsystem - awesome, awesome, awesome.

Autechre have released about 8 ablums and 6 EPs, only one EP of which was noise. Most of it is IDM (I guess Amber is ambient). You kinda missed IDM completely in fact, which is the category I'd put all his example album under. I'd put Wolf Eyes or Merzbow as Noise examples.
Dance is a catchall as well, not a genre.
Prodigy and Leftfield could be classed as Rave, Big Beat or Techno, but certainly not Drum n Bass. Not nearly high enough BPMs, not to mention a general lack of breakbeats. I'd but Bad Company and Roni Size as DnB examples.
House and Trance I won't fuck with you on, as I don't know shit about them (excpet Psy-trance. I quite like psy-trance. Infected Mushroom and Space Buddha spring to mind)

So. Uh. Well done for pointing out that Electronica covers a ton of sub-genres, which really did need to be stated. But, you know, get your example artists right.

I'm a big fan of Autechre, I've got 7 of their discs. My classification of 'Noise' is probably wrong, but that's what I would classify 'Noise' music as. (The sound made when the parts from a 747 which disintegrated at height hit the ground) :) I'll have to listen to your examples.

I should also have put The Orb under ambient. Probably suits the genre better than Plastikman.

I would consider Rave and Big Beat and Jungle as sub-genres of Drum and Bass. Roni Size is a good choice for pure D&B. I was just picking artists which were in my CD collection, and it's a bit top-heavy in Techno and Ambient.

Some bands that haven't been mentioned yet:

VNV Nation- I know their sound can be a bit repetitive at times but their lyrics are great and they have some really awesome tunes

Apoptygma Berzerk- I'm more of a fan of their older sound (ie Deep Red) but they're still decent

Projekt Pitchfork- decent tunes, not bad at all

and if you go the techno root, Dj Tiesto's pretty cool.

Yeah! how could I forget spoonbender!

I've been trying to hunt down an album they released with all their EPs on it, but it's proving to be far too much trouble :(


Have you ever seen these guys live? I just barely got into them and I was able to download a clip of them playing live. Wow!
