Wait, there's someone else who would take about noise with me if I made a thread? This changes everything!

In the hip-hop scene I only know Immortal Technique and some other "consciouss rap" artist (as they call themselves.)

I am part of the electronic underground scene here in Copenhagen, and it is truly flourishing now. Last weekend I was at a undercover festival with all kinds of electronic music. There was a guy who played upright bass with a bow - cleverly using some sort of loop trough a pedal - always changing the pace and the melody. I have never seen anything like this - he was absolutely out of this world! I think it is safe to say that the scene is undergoing the same sorts of changes as the rock scene was back in the late sixties early seventies. But then again why shouldnŽt it?
If you are into electronic and prog - you should check out Sphongle and Infected Mushroom who incorporates real musical instruments in their music. Heavyweight by Infected is as close to prog as youŽll ever get whilst still danceable. |

That album is awesome. Some of the parts actually feel like a "prog" record. Shifts and turns - infused with real solos. I love the analogue synths theyŽve got going. |

Big electronic music fan here. I'm into a lot. I love Autechre, Amon Tobin, Venetian Snares, Flying Lotus, Boards of Canada and many many others. I also like a lot of old electronic music. Many artists from the Krautrock scene are of great interest to me (Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream to name a few). Lately I've been getting into glitch music. Wikipedia has a good definition of it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_(music). One glitch musician has really captivated me recently: Murcof. Check him out, just look him up on youtube and you'll find some of his music (I would recommend listening to Maiz first). It's really a great listen for anyone into ambient, IDM, or drum n bass. People who have an interest in Frank Zappa's more avant-garde, musique-concrete compositions would also love Murcof and glitch music in general. |

Would you like some Bailey's? |

RATATAT were recently announced as one of the artists of next year Big Day Out (a big music festival in Australia and New Zealand) and I'm more then likely going (Tool and Deftones will be there, so It'll be hard to find a reason not to go!) so I picked a great time to start looking into electronic. It'll be interesting to see what its like live.

This was very much the case by the end of the late 80s and for much of the 90s, but to a degree I think it's come full circle. Even Rick Wakeman dusted off his inventory of analog 'boards to record the two Retro albums. Guys like Ian Boddy and Mark Shreeve (together known as Arc) are still interested in pushing the envelope. Erik Norlander's modular gear gets plenty of attention, too.

Any reason there shouldn't be listings here for the Progressive Electronic British School artists such as Mark Shreeve, Ian Boddy and Andy Pickford?

First, you can search the forum for previous suggestion of those artists. When yo do that, make sure to change from "Last Six Months" to "Any Time" in the search timeline.
If you can't find any previous threads, then you need to open new threads in the "Suggest New Bands"area. Just a suggestion, if the artists you named are modern techno/electro artists, then their chances to get in are quite small. Welcome to the forum! |

Thanks, I'll look into the "Suggest New Bands" area. Actually, your
feedback was what I was looking for. I realize that this site does not
include the strictly electronic music of ambient or techno style
artists. The guys I am suggesting, although they are generally solo
electronic/keyboard musicians, produce music which is typically very
melodic and often bombastic. The main difference from symphonic prog is
that they do not use drums and guitars, rather they generate electronic
rhythm sounds to compliment their keyboard and synthesizer themes.
Their music is equivalent to some of the more progressive releases of
Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michele Jarre, Kraftwerk and Synergy, which are
all included here. I'll give it a shot.

Didn't know Shreeve had non-Redshift stuff. Gotta check that out.

IMO, Shreeve's best solo releases are Crash Head (1988) and Assassin (1984), plus the live release, Collide (1994). |

Recently discovered Nosaj Thing. I think his work is a good balance of glitch and mellow beats...

Squarepusher is already on PA in JR/F. I love electronic music from trip-hop to serial composers and exotica records. The big DJ/electronic music scene of the early 90s was one of the most creative periods in music I've ever witnessed. It was nice that one of the best DJ shops in the country was a block from my house during this time.

I love Orb, Future Sound Of London, Aphex Twin, Squarpusher, Air...in fact many things from 50's contemporary classical to this day. I'm also involved in a few of projects (and some will be released soon)...the electronic scene is quite fruitful in my town, from retro-electro to slow spectral shifts...
However, if you're looking for a most bizarre combination of prog rock and electronica, please check Superluminal Pachyderm. Incredible. (it's here on PA) |
