Thanks for the education - and you're somebody who appears to recognise the name Tonto Expanding Headband. I must admit, when I first heard Oxygene I felt there were some connections with TEH. I've alway guessed the 60's albums by White Noise,Terry Riley and Morton Subotnick (should have added Pierre Henry), would have not involved the use of keyboard synths, rather analog signal generators and significant tape recorder use. | TEH's Zero Time is excellent.Malcolm Cecil & Robert Margoulieff(TEH)but mainly Robert Cecil were IMHO responsible for the most interesting phase of Stevie Wonder's career.viz the Talking Book and Innervisions albums

[QUOTE=sigod] IMHO Terry Riley's album 'A Rainbow In Curved Air' predated Frippertronics by some years. I really like the original recording of In 'C' .Although the version he did with Eno is pretty good.

Shpongle is an amazing electronica band. They are very trippy, and also very innovative. I just got all of their albums on MP3 from a friend the other day, and it's just awesome.
Another band I've been listening to is Hallucinogen (currently in my CD player). They have more of a trance sound than Shpongle, but they are still very cool. I would recommend In Dub to anyone who likes psychedelic trance.

This evenings listening
Yes :: Relayer
followed by
Autechre :: Incunabula
and
Bola :: Soup
Been a while since I listened to what my wife refers to as "banging on pipe music". The complexities of both genres sat well together.

I love electronic music...It's really nice and trippy..There are some incredible albums out there..I mean...even Steve Hillage is with System 7 for the last years...A minimal/ambient/techno music...Apart from shpongle you should also check Younger brother 'A flock of beeps' , Eat Static 'In the nude' & 'Crash n Burn' (an Ozric tentacles side project ,at least at the beginning.I don't recommend their earlier works for someone that wants to begin with electronica.).And of course something from Ltj Bukem(for a jazzier and more drum'n bass aproach) .Oh and i forgot to mention that In Dub from Hallucinogen is actually a psychedelic/dub album .Thievery Corporation's albums are great too..Oh there are so many of them.Letfield,Orbital,Future sound of London...Massive attack....Check them all and you won't regret it :P

Tonto's Expanding Headband could be considered as proto-progressive electronic rock and its early influence. But its been 30 years since I heard it or Terry Riley's Rainbow in Curved Air, which I cant say I remember very well.

Hell Yeah! Who doesn't like Electronica Shpongle is absolutely the best, and how about Boards of Canada, The Future Sound of London, Biosphere, Lustmord, and of course Klaus Schulze And the totally obscure Finnish band Nemesis , very TD influenced. Great band.

it seems that a few pioneers of the genre are missing, among those who have experimented first "tape manipulation", "concentric" collages, "drone" effects, concrete noises, footage, patterns for a physical, an immersive & intriguing exploration throw time and space:
- Ramon Sender
- Richard Maxfield
- Tod Dockstader
- La monte young
- Alvin Lucier
- David Behrman
- all artists from the french group of musical research GRM
About Terry Riley, IN C is exactly one of his most boring pieces despite that is his most popular...he has also experimented hypnotic "loops" in his better "organ of cortis" series (Olson III, reed streams).

Trouser, for a more experimental side of electronica try Autechre. They started off accessible and tuneful on Incunabula (a favorite of mine); their mid-period with albums like Tri Repetae++ and Chiastic Slide starts moving away from "traditional" electronica into new realms of sound, and their later stuff starting with Confield is pretty mind-bendingly unconventional, though for me it's difficult enough that I don't enjoy it as much as their earlier work. Still, a great group. I recommend the aforementioned Incunabula (which sounds a little dated today, but still fun) and Tri Repetae++.

Incunabula Love that album...
Not for threes - Plaid Rest proof Clockwork - Plaid Music has the Right to Children - Boards of Canada Definitive ambient collection (Vol 1) - Pete Namlook Lifeforms - FSOL Surfing on Sine Waves - Polygon Window
Some of the best electronic music was made in the mid 90's IMO.

Cor! I'd completely forgotten I'd made this thread. Annnnnnyhow, the chap who lives opposite me in halls is very heavily into experimental electronica and played an Autechre album to me recently. Can't remember what it was called - the case was just plain black plastic and there was a track called "fold 4 wrap 5" or something. It was very good, anyway. We've been sharing a lot of music since we started here as we have similar attitudes to what music should do, but very little common ground in terms of actual bands which is brilliant! He's also recently formed a Guapo-esque band of keyboards, piano, drums, bass and laptop (!) and has invited me to do a monologue for one of their pieces. Huzzah!
PS - sorry for rambling.
