In an act of pure Folly, I almost forgot to mention Michael Shipway. |

Hi,
The place to hear these things would be Guy Guden's Space Pirate Radio ... he always manages to find the nicest stuff. Missing here ... GERT EMMENS ... by far one of the best. Also, I think, EAT LIGHTS BECOME LIGHTS ... maybe even JOHN SERRIE ... and you can find more on the show.

Gert has some really good albums, yes. Again, his stuff might be a little tough and/or expensive to get outside Europe at this time. There's some stuff on YT. Jonn (not John) Serrie mainly records spacemusic/ambient. I wouldn't recommend his music to listeners looking for music akin to TD, Schulze, Synergy, Shreeve, etc., at least not right away. And the Stars Go With You and both Planetary Chronicles volumes are excellent, though.

I posted this figuring it would take a while to generate any responses but Geez! You've done me proud! Thanks for all the suggestions. Though I'm really looking for recent publications (the past 10 years), I can tell there's some really cool stuff here.
THANKS! |

Yep. Check. I checked out their stuff about five years ago. Definitely one of the best PE artists from the Naughties. Thanks! |

This Zombi stuff is a little too aggressive for me. I think what I like most in the electronic music that I like is the lack or absence of drum and bass substitutes. The sequencing or pacing provided by the other instruments seems to be enough. Still, I do like the "Siberia II" song a lot! Thanks! |

I forgot about Breidablik and Kosmischer Läufer! I'm loving the Girón and Zytospace stuff. Thanks, Ian! |

I like a lot of this ("Extreme Northern Light"), some I don't ("Solar Maximum"). More to explore. Thanks, Ken! |

Thanks, Moshi! I'm loving the GERT EMMENS! This is exactly what I've been yearning for. Combo Blade Runner and TD with impeccable sound engineering. I already own a lot of John Serrie. Forgot all about Guy Guden's Space Pirate Radio. Thanks for the reminder! Still have to check out Eat Lights... Hope all is well with Mike, Jubal, and the girls.

Some GREAT finds on here! (E.g. Andreas Wolter, Ian Boddy, even the trip-hoppy New Age of Davol and techno-dance-pop of SpiralDreams.) Thanks, Paul!

Hi, Serrie was on the same label as TD, or vice versa ... in Seattle, which was when the 220 Volt Live was recorded. My adding Gert, was important ... regarding the so called space/ambient is (for me) not an issue since the music itself might not have anything to do with the space/ambient at all, despite its CD cover, as is the case for Serrie. Gert, is probably closer to TD in that his music is less rock sound oriented or formatted and has a much larger freedom for expression, which in TD, I call "classically minded", though I can not find anything "classically minded" in Gert Emmens at all ... which in many ways ends up being a NEW expression in electronic music ... if we want to get picky. Larry Fast fits in this area also were it not that some of his music on solo albums kinda came from film soundtracks and it has a feel that fits film ... not necessarily the music we are used to ... his work on Nektar's Recycled, shows that he can add to the rock thing a lot more than just thunder ... it made the album explode loud and clear. My take on electronic music is different ... I like KS because he is an original, and you can not find a "song" in his work, and in the length of his pieces. They are all incredibly different and the "trip" is insane. I like TD because their music for my ears is like listening to classical music ... it is totally beautiful and the saddest thing for me since EF passed on, is that it has become a machine music group ... and nothing else and the atmospheric and orchestra sound is gone, even though the one member does a wonderful job on the violin, but not enough to help carry away from the electronic machine sounding work. And this was my contention, and the main reason why I did not enjoy Pete Namlook as much ... I thought his sound was too much machine and not enough music/musical. Another example, is, while I can appreciate the efforts from Dave Sax which are very enjoyable, in general for my ears it still is way too machine sounding, and I'm not sure that my saying that helps him understand what I am saying ... I think his manner of composing might be the issue ... starts with the sound from the machine and then another sound added, as opposed to starting a sound and then work it so it matches the feel that your imagination has ... that "translation" always adds to the over all content ... but I think that as soon as one part is established, it's time to add another one, and then it comes off a bit clinical for my tastes ... mind you, I find him better than many of the things listed here. BTW ... missing here is the stuff that CHRISTOPHER FRANKE did on his own, which is also very lovely, and I am one of the few that says he is sorely missed and I would love to hear from him, hopefully not angry still, and with a lot of music in his heart to share with us ... we need more like him and Edgar Froese!

In that case, I recommend Steve's solo albums The Henge and Light Echoes. Zombi is more of a "band," but they do have some great tracks on the first two albums, Zombi and Cosmos, that I bet you'd like.

Yes, TD was on Miramar for Rockoon, 220 Volt, Turn of the Tides, and Tyranny of Beauty. They floated from label to label for a few years before TDI was established. Private Music had an eclectic roster, too... ...and that reminds me: BrufordFreak, did you ever hear Patrick O'Hearn's first two albums for Private Music, Ancient Dreams and Between Two Worlds? Those are EM classics! |

^ I have two of Patrick O' Hearn's albums on CD: Eldorado (1989) & Metaphor (1996).

Eldorado was somewhat of a shift, but I liked it. Check out his 2005 release, Slow Time. It's fantastic.

Yep! I used to collect Patrick's CDs back in the 80s & 90s cuz he had such great sound on his albums! But, his music grew a little old on me. Stopped buying it (and most "New Age" music) for a while, but now I'm refreshed (thanks to Stefano Musso [ALIO DIE] and Laurent Schieber [SEQUENTIA LEGENDA]). P.S. I'm loving Gert Emmons Outland, Involved's Revolving Maze, Sounds of New Soma's Moebius Tunnel, and 6LA8's The Last Strands of Fortitude. More later. |

My pleasure! Zrnho Correy was my introduction to Electronica on YouTube over ten years ago, although I've diversified into prog since then.

I have a few Emmens releases. Good stuff. I consider Moebius Tunnel ambient, not prog electronic. If you like Revolving Maze, parts of it (like "Egress") remind me of Zombi, like this one, one of my favorite tracks of their last three releases. |
