Shocking revelation

[Spinaroonie]

I don't know the difference between techno and electronica. I kinda know what trance, is I think, but house, no clue.

 

[Private Vasquez]

Hey...me neither. What a kowinkydink.

 

[grrrly]

all i know is that music sucks

 

[Laurel]

The only one I know really well is drum & bass. It's good porn-story-editing music.

"Electronica" is a term used to describe the many forms of electronically-created music associated with raves. The music relies heavily on the use of computers, synthesizers, drum machines, and sampling.

Electronica originated as a genre in the late 1970s, and in the twenty years since has grown into a sprawling set of subgenres and styles, each influencing one another. Making distinctions between the many styles is often difficult and subjective, and the most innovative music at any one time is usually a mix of styles that's difficult to peg.

The term "techno" refers to a specific kind of electronica, though it's often used (incorrectly) to describe all rave dance music. House music, for instance, is a form of electronica commonly heard at raves -- but it's very different from techno, and they come from slightly different roots.

Say what?¿?

Blue man group.....well they make their own music from random objects but then they have synthesizers ....ect to fix it up.....

 

[Private Vasquez]

And now, armed with that knowledge, that Dillinger so tastily provided, I shall march forth in this world and....sit....here...listening to hip hop.

NIN is a cool blend of electronica, techno, and metal...so is Skinny Puppy, Rammstein, Ministry, Wumpscut, KMFDM, Orgy, and Static X...those are cool bands

Now that helps. Aphex twin calls himself techno, and I know trance's sort of sound.. ok.. it's coming togeter.

+1, Informative.
