Electronica

Re: Re: Electronica

kiwi, have you heard anything about the defunct Civilian X project (Rage with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden)? Last I heard Cornell quit the band but they were releasing the CD anyways. Too bad, they were supposed to play Ozzfest.

Check out Blabbermouth at Roadrunner records. It's back on accordingt to news released today.

what the fuck ever dude

Shit is that the best you can come up with peanut?

 

[PmTick]

I'll check it out. You hear anything about the new Anthrax album too?

 

[Star of Penumbra]

If Electronica is anything like Techno, and I suspect it is, then you might check out Discovery, by Daft Punk. They have a couple other albums out (Alive and Homework), but they were made earlier than Discovery, and don't have quite the same sound.

As previously reported, ANTHRAX's ninth studio album, entitled We've Come For You All, is scheduled for a late September/early October release through Sanctuary Records in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe.



Stolen from the Blabbermouth site. Hope it helps PmTick. Scott Ian says it is really heavy.

 

[PmTick]

Can't wait, hope they tour for it, though I miss the Rock Show. . .

Daft Punk is electronica. I don' t think techno is even around anymore.

Well, I never claimed to be an authority on music.

 

[PmTick]

Nah it's cool man. Daft Punk was one of the first electronica bands to make it to mainstream music stations and radios. If I remember correctly I think the media tried to make Prodigy the posterboys for Electronica, even though they kept saying they were'nt an electronica band they were just a rock band with a different sound.

Some of the electronica is good, some is crappy like all music, I suppose. I can't claim to be a big fan, but Monk can. Laurel, everytime I read "kickin it," I hear that damned Beastie Boys' song "Fight for your right to party," you know in the very beginning where Mike D says "Kick it!"

 

[TWB]

OK. I am feeling very old again. What is electronica? Perving on electrons?

 

[PmTick]

Electronica is music composed and created digitally on a computer, sometimes appropriating sounds and loops from other songs. Artists range from awesome to crap and from well known to virtual unknowns. If you're lucky you can get a hold of much of the lesser known artists in the used bin at the cd store.

Here's a few really good electronica bands you can get pretty cheap: Alex Gopher, Apollo 440, and Basement Jaxx.

Basement Jaxx have had a couple of songs you may remember, most recently "Where' s your head at?" And Apollo 440 had minor hits with the "Charlie's Angels theme" and "Stop the Rock"

When Napster was around, there were vs tracks you could get by electronica djs. They would basically take the loop from a song and mix it with vocals from another. For example, two that stick out in my mind are "My Name Is" mixed to Back in Black and My name is mixed to funk soul brother.

Some better known electronica artists you can get at your local CD store are:

Moby, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Apex Twin, Goldie, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, and Paul Okenfold.

Give a listen to any of the Digital Underground series. John Digweed is one of my favorites.

Hey, Kiwi, if it takes no musical talent to make electronica, why don't you go ahead and cut a tune? It's easy because it's not real music and they aren't real musicians. Right? I assume you can get this done today.

Have you ever seen Mortal Kombat the movie? Traci did one of those songs, Control. I've got it on mp3.

Blending sounds to make a pleasing melody is writing music. It doesn't matter how those sounds are produced, just that they are produced.

Your definition of music is very--bigoted. Narrow in focus. Ignorant. Your definition of what's "good" music, is perfect, because it suits you. But calling something not music or disrespecting it just because you don't like that kind of music is a little childish.

But that's okay, I still love ya. Who else'd understand what's up when I quote Anthrax?

definition of Music

The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.


If we follow the definition then yes Electronica is music. It can also sound pleasing.

I have a philosophy to keep an open mind to all music. There is music in all styles that will please the ear.

not to pick dude but it's Global Underground and I agree with you..John Digweed is one of the best.

if your looking for a flame war son I'll heat this motherfucker up..

however, I do not want to sully a fine thread such as this with discord.

Hey, I'm not offended--thanks for correcting me
It's messed up when you have the cd in the player and are too lazy to walk the two feet it would take to pick up the case and make sure you have the title right
...and not to pick, I'm a dudette

hard to tell sex sometimes on here.
I apologize.

which one do you have? Hong Kong?
Los Angeles?
You ever listen any of the Darren Emerson ones?

I have the LA one--and I don't have the Darren Emerson ones--will have to check them out. I have to get most of my music from online resources due to the serious lack of music stores around here. How about BT (Mr. BT, Mr. BT)--you like him?

...and no apology needed

hell yes, BT is awesome

what online resources do you use?
for your music shopping needs?

if you go to amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.com I'm sure you could pick up the emerson discs.

I really like your name, I wonder how many people pick up on the reference?

Frank Zappa, who was a consummate musician, actually did a lot of his later composing almost entirely through electronic media. He felt he had more freedom to get the exact sound he wanted. My point is that it's the end result that counts, and the musician is still responsible for what comes out. One way isn't inherently better than another, music is music.

Point well taken.

Thank Harbinger for that very astute observation.

Hear, hear, harbinger. It's the result, not the medium, that makes it art. But, while we're on the subject; Dieselboy, Roni Size, Charles Feelgood, and a bunch of other older DJs are well worth checking out. I never really liked Juno reactor...
For darker electronica, Wumpscut, VNV Nation, Covenant, and Apoptygma Berserk are really a treat, especially with a good woofer.
