Matt 0 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 This thread could easily empty my bank balance. Just invested in some FSoL, Autechre and AGF. I've only really got BoC and Squarepusher of this genre so there's a bit of space to fill yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Forgot about Boards of Canada. Probably a good starting point for someone just getting into the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 boc are a huge influence on me and my music. simple stuff played through tape loops/echo's/ reverbs/delays. got to admit roygbiv is one of my favourite all time tracks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatful Of Hollow 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Forgot about Boards of Canada. Probably a good starting point for someone just getting into the genre. I'd agree with that, Twoism was the album that really got me interested, especially the track Oirectine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloopJohn 0 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I like what I've heard of electronic music but I am utterly clueless about it. Please use this thread to influence me. Some good starting points are Orbital (just about any album really but Snivilisation or In Sides might be a good starting point also the 'Green' album - untitled but with a green cover aka 'Orbital I' which has the tunes 'Belfast' and 'Chime' which are two of the best electronic tunes of all-time imo); Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85-'92; Mixmaster Morris aka Irresistible Force - It's Tomorrow Already which is nice and chilled; Derrick May's Innovator compilation is quality an an introduction to 'proper' Detroit Techno; for crossover appeal I'd recommend the aforementioned Air, especially Moon Safari along with Nightmares On Wax (especially 'Car Boot Soul' and 'Smokers Delight') plus Portishead and Massive Attack ('Blue Lines' in particular); the Artificial Intelligence compilations are a good intro to the WARP techno label. There's loads of other stuff I could recommend too if you like any of that lot. Has anybody checked out the new Paul (or was it Phil?) Hartnoll album btw? He's one half of the now defunct Orbital? I've just bought it and I'm just getting into it. Quite 'soundtrack' like. Edit: Underworld as well - Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest In The Infants Good post...you've mentioned two of the very, very best in In Sides and Dubnobasswithmyheadman. These two albums would probably be in my top 5, electronic or otherwise, of all time. 10 more essential electronic purchases IMO would be: 1. 'Tri Repetae' | Autechre 2. '76:14' | Global Communication 3. 'Substrata' | Biosphere 4. 'Music Has The Right To Children' or 'Geogaddi' | Boards Of Canada 5. 'Ascend' | Manual 6. 'Haunt Me, Haunt Me, Do It Again' | Tim Hecker 7. 'Kesto (234.48:4)' | Pan Sonic 8. 'Afro Finger & Gel' | Mu 9. 'Lifeforms' | The Future Sound Of London 10. 'Momentum' | Monolake this is an extremely good list. i've heard everything on here bar Ascend,and they're all excellent. although Kesto is quite a tricky listen at first (that's the understatement of the century). Aaltoporii maybe a better place to start with Pan Sonic. another ten essential electronica albums: Fennesz | Endless Summer Keith Fullerton Whitman | Lisbon Autechre | Amber Murcof | Remembranza Oval | Ovalcommers Bowery Electric | Beat Isolée | Wearemonster Lustmord | Heresy Stars Of The Lid | And Their Refinement Of The Decline William Basinski | Melancholia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I like what I've heard of electronic music but I am utterly clueless about it. Please use this thread to influence me. I think Alex is your man. I promptly forgot all about this thread after many of you (esp alex) made suggestions to me, my apologies. Like I would have ever listened to anything that Patrokles suggested though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
