Lorenzo, the video for Cristina Donā doesn't play for me. But this one does. If you can see this, let me know if it is the same.

Around the turn of the millennium, I was pretty much into electronic music. It actually already started in the nineties. At the time I found electronic music more exciting and innovative than most other genres I had listened to before. I will not bring any heavy club sound nor overly experimental stuff here. But hey, let's just have a little fun!  De-Phazz: Heartfixer (Album: Death by Chocolate, 2001) De-Phazz is a downtempo jazz ensemble from Berlin integrating modern turntablism and elements of soul, Latin, trip hop and drum and bass into a lounge music sound. Most Europeans among us may know them already, but well. The Avalanches: Frontier Psychiatrist (Album: Since I Left You, 2000/2001) The Avalanches are an electronic music group from Melbourne. They are known for their numerous DJ activities and especially for their debut album Since I Left You, which was recorded with the use of about 3,500 vinyl samples. The album was released abroad with some delay due to the clarification of copyright issues. but I only became aware of the group a few years later when they re-released the chosen track along with this quirky and funny video. lol Edited by Mila-13 - February 25 2023 at 03:08 |

Got some time to run through all the suggestions put up so far, so here are some of my thoughts... Greg: As you know, I love Air and know Cherry Blossom Girl very well, but I also like it very much. I discover Electrelane here and although it sounds interesting, upon first listen I do prefer Air. Will give it another listen. Eli: Two tracks in a genre I'm not fond of, but both have something very good and interesting in them. Stone Sour are musically maybe a bit more traditional hard rock/heavy metal, but it sounds quite good and very solid. It's a pity (imho) that the singer feels the need to growl, because he has a great voice, when he's singing. But I prefer Om's State of Non-Return; the music sounds much more original to my ears, although I don't like the voice... Christian: Oh yes, back to our youth... I wasn't much into Level 42 back then (nor funk in general), but didn't dislike it either. Nowadays I appreciate this much more than in 1985. This is a great song indeed. I don't think I ever heard anything by Asmus Tietchens, but I like this - not for every moment of the day, but it is quite fascinating to listen to. Greg: I always remain a bit underwhelmed by Eels. Beautiful Freak is not an unpleasant listen, but it doesn't compete with the Fishmans track. You presented this one in one of your polls and I think I voted for it then. Great listen again. George: Well, the "grungy Britpop sounding like..." never really impressed me and nor does this Feeder track; nice, but also rather forgettable to my ears. Especially against this Bill Laswell track (but you probably expected that from me), this one is musically much more interesting for me. Mila: Nice to see you join in again! I heard a couple of tracks by Dans Dans coming by on FIP radio, these last years. I liked what I heard but never explored more of their music. This track too is great, a wonderful listen. Nicole Mitchells Black Earth Ensemble is also a good listen, but it fascinates me much less than Dans Dans. Lorenzo: Even Blur didn't change my stance on "grungy Britpop", so I never really explored their albums. This track however is quite intriguing and a great listen. I understand you regarding Cristina Donā... I think the Bolero is a bit overused in modern day music, but as such this is quite an intresting track, a great groove and tension in it - wonderful. Mila: Oh yes, I think I prefer the more experimental stuff. With De-Phazz we're much into the dance/electro style that is not much for me. The Avalanches are much in similar territory to my ears, but I find this track more interesting (but still not fan of that house beat). Funny over-the-top clip though! |

I actually have the album from which these samples were taken. It was an album by comedy duo Wayne and Shuster (Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster) which my parents bought when I was a child. Edited by I prophesy disaster - February 25 2023 at 13:28 |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I just heard that Avalanches track for the first time a couple years ago. It came up as an Amazon Music suggestion coinciding with the 20th anniversary reissue. I liked it the. And it's on my Likes playlist.
I didn't think Feeder would get much appeal. I have memories of bopping about my apartment at the time to that track. Looking back at 1997, I think my two favorite albums back then were Ladies and Gentlemen, We're Floating in Space by Spiritualized and Vanishing Point by Primal Scream. So,as an excuse to play the Coil track from the Bill Laswell album, I will pair up from then, Primal Scream - Kowalski Coil - Kāla As a bonus, the album by Primal Scream was named after and inspired by the movie Vanishing Point. The lead character's name is Kowalski. Here's the trailer. |

1998. Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) had some hits off his second album and I liked this one. It's a feel good song and video.
Fatboy Slim - Praise You Sacred System (Bill Laswell), on the other hand, did not have any hits. One of his many projects. More tables. Sacred System - X-Zibit-I Bonus. Camille Yarbrough is an American musician, dancer, activist, author, actress, and poet. She wrote and sang the song "Take Yo' Praise", which was heavily sampled for "Praise You".

Here's a playlist for everything up to now. I will put it in the first post when I am on a computer. For some reason whenever I try to edit it on my phone, I lose my original post.

^ Thanks! Due to geographical licensing the Fatboy Slim track doesn't work for me; this one does, but might not work on your side of the pond... (it is from Fatboy Slim's own yt-channel and called "official video"): |

Ah, 1997... The year of OK Computer, so everything else sounds bleak... Well, not everything, thus... Cristi: I think I only listened to a couple of earlier Fates Warning albums in full and they never really convinced (but I must say that I'm very limited in my prog metal likings, as you know by now), but this tracks sounds quite good and incites me to listen to the whole album. Didn't know The Night Watch and for a 1997 album this sounds of course not original at all, but when neo prog sounds like this I like it! George: I prefer both your 1997 choices over the 1998 ones. I quite dig this Primal Scream track which is as trance inducing as the City of Light/Bill Laswell/Coil (?) track, the latter with some ambient tendencies. Difficult to speak out a preference of one over the other. Both 1998 tracks are nice too, but I'm less captivated by them than the other two. |

The other Fatboy Slim video plays for me, so I swapped it in. They are the same except the one I had has about 20 seconds of an interview with the lead dancer at the end. It was also from Fatboy Slims YT channel.

@cristi: Thanks for your suggestions. I had not listened to Fates Warning in a while. It was good to hear A Pleasant Shade of Gray track. I hardly listen to prog metal these days, and when I do, it tends to be post/experimental and avant-gardish. With neo-prog, I am limited to the core of Marillion/Fish and IQ typically, and Twelfth Night on occasion, so I appreciated Suitkee's putting out the Casino album elsewhere. Had not listened to the Night Watch album before (or any of the subsequent Watch releases, either). This is solid neo-prog.

It's nice to hear from you after quite a while! Thank you for this interesting information. As we can see, sampling does have also positive aspects, it can bring forgotten artists back to life.- Would you like to join in and introduce to us some less-known Australian artists and bands? |

Ok, I'll play. The year I choose is 1972. The first song was a favourite of mine at the time of its release, and is regarded as an Australian classic: Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs - Most People I Know (Think That I'm Crazy) The second song I discovered about 15 years ago as one of the songs on the Golden Miles: Australian Progressive Rock 1969-1974 compilation album released in 1994. However, the song from the album was originally released in 1972: Pirana - Here It Comes Again |

^ For my next pair of tracks, I choose the year 1976. The first track is from the Sebastian Hardie album "Windchase", which I first heard shortly after its release. Although this album is not as good as "Four Moments", the chosen track is one of my favourite Sebastian Hardie tracks:
Sebastian Hardie - Hello Phimistar The second track is from an album I discovered on ProgArchives about 10 years ago when I looked up the top Australian albums: Rainbow Theatre - Fantasy of Horses Edited by I prophesy disaster - February 27 2023 at 14:04 |
