electronica anyone?

pay careful attention to the final part of my post, which involves an "x" and a "D" placed next to eachother, to create the effect of someone laughing like crazy.

That little subtle smiley, informs you that i was, in fact, joking.

You need to get your joke detector sorted out :P

EDIT: i sound like a bit of a dick at the start of this post O.o
ah well, all is fair in the quest for laughs :)

We talked about your post in the IRC. Nobody got your "joke".

[Aphex]

Woah woah woah. Portishead and prog rock do not belong in the same sentence, except for in this sentence. I'm interested to know what you think prog rock is.

i know that portishead is trip hop, its just that one song had elements of prog rock. I can't be bothered defining prog rock, all i was saying was that one single song sounded a bit prog rocky.

{sigh} I don't really want to explain it, as analysing a joke is like disecting a frog: nobody laughs, and the frog dies.

but i'll do it anyway...

Basically i was joking, because the artists "daft punk" and "aphex twin" are toatally different, as you explained earlier, daft punk are house, wheras aphex twin is Electronic/IDM/Drill n' Bass. The joke was that i put forth the idea that these two bands had a similar sound, whereas, in fact, they obviously do not.

There, are you laughing now? i thought not.

[KinGAleX]

Haha, I want to know what you would call elements of prog rock? It seems like an open-ended statement meant to impress your betters. But that's just how it comes across.

Aphex_n:

We briefly mentioned this on the IRC and I thought about it a little more. In this community we have an incredibly large, and an incredibly far-reaching background and knowledge of music. Collectively, we cover almost every genre that exists (or almost, certainly). Frankly, I find this amazing for a community founded around a little monochrome game with a ninja.

Me personally, I can happily go from listening to the most extreme doom metal to post-rock, and then to underground hip-hop, and then to chamber jazz. Now, being 31 years old certainly helps - it gives you a lot more time to be exposed to these other forms of music.

But back to the main point. We find it a little condescending when you recommend us such well-known artists as Aphex Twin and Portishead, even if we don't like them because we recognise the impact they have had on their respective genres. KA is the most knowledgeable of prog rock around these parts - to say to him that a band like Portishead have prog-rock elements is a little redundant, to say the least.

Anyway, that's my point. Get on IRC, come to #music and we'll gladly talk with you.

yeah, i think im going to stop posting about music from now on, i mean it seems as though i get on everyones nerves when i start talking about music.
I reckon with only a few stupid posts about music, i can still walk away with my head held high :)

[Skyling]

Sure! I like:
Animal Collective (that barely counts, but still)
Boards of Canada
DJ Shadow (again with the not really counting thing)
Fennesz
Panda Bear
Squarepusher
Venetian Snares

[Zephyr]

Daft Punk.
It's awesome.

i've got all their albums, as well as the three movies they made *_*

If you like daft punk, try out justice and sebastian

wat iz tis "moveh" u spek off?

i must get some crystal casle and aphex twin

[spoof]

I mentioned this in another post, but 'the Sound of Animals Fighting' is a pretty tight band. There first album was very electronic experimental. Then they did a hardcore progressive skit (The Tiger and the Duke). They finally came out with a progressive rock album (The Ocean and the Sun), but each song sounds sooo different, their pretty good.

In youtube type in 'Uzbekistan Animals' for something more electronic, and 'Heraldic Beak' for a more complicated rock song... and turn the volume up!

the movies are:
electroma
interstellar 5555
and another one, i forgot the name...

electroma is ok, its art house, and i didn't really like it

interstellar 5555 is amazing, its basically a full length animated feature set to daft punks "discovery" album.

the other ones ok, as you can guess, its not very memorable ^^

I finally managed to find a link on the internet that works with the mp3 tags. This is the kind of stuff I usually listen to:

It sounds a bit like the music in a Laser Tag advertisement.

"Electronica" is an incredibly vague term. I think it's just a term used to umbrella any form of electronic music, because if you want to be picky about it, there are tons sub genres like house, industrial, trance

Trance is not a subgenre of Electronica. Electronic, Electronica, Techno, D&B, and Trance are all different genres as far as I'm concerned. Everything else related is a subgenre of one of those main five.

Electronica is a wanky term with varying definitions, but 'electronic' at the very least has got to be a parent genre of techno, trance, etc.

[Aphex]

Well, by the previous posts, this has turned into a place to post their favourite dance music, no matter what sub genre its from.

I've got quite into "Ratatat" recently, as well as some chilling "blu mar ten".

:P

Ok, then. I'm fine with DJ Sharpnel.

black dice

three awesome artists you should be listening to.

[wedgie]

Erm, going roughly by what is labelled in my library as electronic or similar (lo-fi, trip-hop, downtempo) :
Air, Amon Tobin, Boards of Canada, The Cinematic Orchestra, DJ Shadow, Empire of the sun, Fatboy Slim, Lemon Jelly, Nightmares On wax, Prefuse 73, The Prodigy, Royksopp, Sneaker Pimps, UNKLE, 65daysofstatic, Bonobo, Crystal castles, Massive Attack, Mr. Scruff, Coldcut, RJD2, Blockhead, DJ Krusch, Fila Brazillia.

Hmm, maybe not strictly 'electronic' but similar enough to still be relevant.

[bobaganuesh_2]
