Electronic Music Appreciation #1
 

Couldn't find any threads about this sort of music.(Sorry if there actually is one and I just missed it :) )

So, anyone here who listens to ANY kind of electronic music?
Any Kraftwerk fans out there? Or Infected Mushroom or Nitzer Ebb or anything? :)

There isn't, as far as I know. And it's funny because I just created a trip-hop thread which has distant links to electronica, but anyway...

My only knowledge of electronica is Radiohead's Kid A and Thom Yorke's The Eraser/Spitting Feathers work, but I do like those. Are those considered electronica? Yes, right? :flowers:

Um, I haven't heard about Thom Yorke actually, and that particular song by radiohead I haven't heard.
But the songs I have heard by Radiohead I'd say is poprock or something like that.
But then again, I haven't heard that one :)

No those are albums :) well there's also the song 'Kid A' but as you can tell italics are albums for me. And the Kid A and Amnesiac songs have electronica in it - most of it anyway. I think you're talking about the earlier stuff like The Bends or OK Computer because their electronica work have been compared to Aphex Twins (not that I've heard them though).

Really? Oh, I need to check out Radiohead then, 'cause I love aphex twin.
You should listen to them, they're really good.
Strange, but good ;)

Strange but good? I should then. Hey we should do a mutual swap, I'd love to send you Kid A and Amnesiac and you could send me whatever good electronica songs.

Incidentally, is there a difference between 'electronica' and 'electronic music' other than the spelling of it?

Yeah, I'd be glad to send you some :)

Um, I don't know really.
In sweden we have a bunch of different terms, and i'm not sure what they all are in english..:(

I like electronic music but i'm not sure it's the same kind you usually listen to. I like a lot techno (Jeff Mills, Carl Cox), Progressive (Tiesto), Trance and makina (a mix of hardtechno and harddance with some hints of hardcore) that is very popular in spain.

Well, I'm not much of a techno fan, but I just wanted to start a thread for electronic music in general :)

Can you recommend any good techno? I haven't really heard that much to be honest.
I'm more into psy/goatrance.

Cool, I'll PM you my email address :)

I haven't listened to trance or house or techno, my friend swears by trance. I should give it a listen, only I don't know where to begin!

Yeah, do it ^_^
I'll send you some good music, including trance. :)

I like trance a lot... for good Techno you should search for Dj Magda, really good stuff!

Yeah? Gonna check it out right away :)

A festival I'm going to this summer has booked Infected Mushroom! :yay:

Does anyone here like Clubland? That's what comes to mind for me if I hear the statement Electronic music

No, I don't! But I'm a complete novice in electonica. Hey, does anyone know the difference between electro and electronic music? Electro is apparently more pop, while electronica is like trance and house music...
