Don't bother suggesting electronic artists who record after 1990 and who don't directly copy/tribute a classic prog electronic artist artist. They won't get added.

The prog electronic team doesn't make a habit of adding IDM, or any dance-related electronic music, regardless of complexity or innovation within electronic music.

So no Aphex Twin or Autechre, but golly Flying Lotus is a shoe-in!

Hey, it's at least worth a shot.  I would fully support his inclusion.

I would support his inclusion as well, although Cosmogramma still hasn't grown on me. Tongue

The guy who chooses who is included or not just won't include artists unless they meet the requirements Stonie just posted.

I'd support this inclusion. I'll alert the team.

Phillippe's relutance in accepting those artists.

However the progressive electronic experiments are reduced to vulgar mechanical-techno-ish things and only come into the music in order to support the demonstrative-jazzy leads. Not sure about the musical label....maybe you should give a try in fusion jazz but I'm really not sure about the result. For me it's no for the progressive electronic subgenre. 

Good luck

Now that I got to listen to this, it's definitely not prog electronic, but a completely different beast. Thanks for exposing me to this Marco.

I personally wouldn't suggest them for progressive electronic on this site, although Cosmogramma is progressive and electronic it doesn't fit with the standard of progressive electronic artists. I would be for suggesting a new genre for this type of newer electronic progressive music, though (like how '70s symphonic prog differs from '80s neo-prog, but it still definitely prog.)

It might be a stretch, but someone should mention them to the JR/F team.  I mean, that's where Squarepusher is

Fusion would probably be the best bet. Also, Madlib made some Brazilian style jazz-prog mixtapes that might be included along with Cosmogramma.

Yeap, I intend to give them more listens to see if that would be feasible.

His Shades of Blue album is pretty cool.

I'm not returning to JMA until I can change that annoying colour scheme.

Did he release something remarkably new and progressive (electronic)?

Well, he did release Until the Quiet Comes last September, and I think if he wasn't applicable for registration based on the material beforehand, the new album is definitely a worthy shot. Check it out if you haven't. It's really good.

Yeah, Austin, if you like Burial, check out his more recent work like Cossogramma and Until the Quiet Comes. His early stuff is a lot more grittier and hip-hop/trip-hop oriented. All his stuff is great though.

That sums up basically what you'll find in PE, though there are some bands that don't really fit under that, and some that could almost be considered exceptions (Throbbing Gristle for example).

What about Jazz Fusion? C'mon guys, they have to fit somewhere.

Jazz fusion usually means fusion with rock. Or perhaps Indian or African music.

But do you guys realise how much work it would be to include all new related electronic music which is in a way related to prog? For one thing you would pretty much have to include goa trance, psy trance, progressive trance, not sh*tty club trance but spend much time classifying what is progressive and what is sh&tty club trance, and you'd also have to include chill stuff with tablas and such which isn't usually considered trance.

Not to mention probably a bunch of other electronic styles. Ambient comes to mind as well.
