The Electronic Music Thread

listening to new royksopp cd - junior. absolutely loving the 2nd track, the girl and the robot.

[edit] anyone listened to the new depeche mode yet? what did you think? it honestly bores me a little bit, but there are a few good tracks. i think i like corrupt the most.

Wrong is awesome, although that may be due to:

a) a lifelong love affair with DM

b) one of the coolest videos ever.

:D
 
Bought the new Depeche Mode, it's quite enjoyable. It has a predominantly 80's sound, with a few tracks such as In Chains sounding more modern. The best songs on the album imo are In Chains, Wrong, Little Soul and Peace, with the weaker songs mostly being the ones written by Gahan(except for Come Back, which isn't bad.)

Einstürzende Neubauten is a more industrial type band than electronic.

Actually they're more a conceptual band. Primarily using found objects, often from Junkyards, yeah so they 'can' sound Industrial. Some albuns more than others.
Electronically, they use sampling and synthesis to a fine art. Often, when you have a good listen, you have no idea what the sound is or whether it's real or not.
But sure, it might not be Electronic if you have zit headed beats, beeps & squiggles in mind.

Besides, you can look at the definition of Electronic music as being anything that is amplified. I've grown to like looking at it this way.

EDIT: and come to think of it, pigeon-holing music or your tastes of it is really uninteresting ;)

The Famous 20th Century Avante Garde composer John Cage was once asked what his favourite music was, he replied. "Music I've never heard before"
You can't be more open minded than that.
