Recommend me some electro

[Leon]

I'm in the mood for pure electro music

Stuff like Kraftwerk's "Aerodynamik" and LFO's "Freak".

I know some electro artists (like kraftwerk) but I'd like to learn more.
I don't necessarely want danceable electro, just good stuff to listen/smoke to. With long pads and stuff.

Recommend me some :)

Thanks.

i-f - space invaders are smoking grass ep (the 12" on viewlexx with playstation #2)

'Neptune's Lair' by Drexciya
'New School Science' by Jedi Knights
Electro Boogie mix series

The Rhino Electro Funk collection contains a lot of the original early 80's classics.

Model 500 'Classics'

[GoatSucker]

Claro Intelecto - Neurofibro, definitely.

Claro Intelecto's debut album, is well and truly worthy of the hype surrounding it. Included on the cd version are tracks from the two ep's, Peace Of Mind, and Section. Peace Of Mind is the first track, an electro classic with it's emotive Rhodes keys and addictive bassline. Baudrillards Supper reminds me of Murcof, with it's haunting piano. Nobody, is lush techno at it's finest, and brings to mind the works of Stasis, and John Beltran. Without a duff track in sight, Neurofibro is sure to appeal to fans of Underground Resistance, Warp's Artificial Intelligence series, and good electronic music in general. I used to think he was overrated, but now I'm addicted.


In fact, anything on Ai Records is worth checking out for satisfying your electro thirst :)

Anthony Rother is awesome, get some of his tracks.

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

Definately listen to koisk on this one Leon.

[chino]

i was about to suggest Miss Kitten, but after realizing about all your intense electro knowledge I'd better go to bed.

Good night!:eek:

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

Yo tambien. iBuenos Dias!

[chino]

Buenas madrugadas John!

Two Lone Swordsmen - Stay Down + Tiny Reminders
+1 for this one, in fact most of the Two Lone Swordsmen stuff. If you also get the chance to see Andrew Weatherall live then do so!

(pity I couldnt be here (http://www.residentadvisor.net/event_view.asp?ID=18862)on friday! :()

[Leon]

Many thanks for the suggestions. I'm now getting some stuff that you recommended. I already had a few tracks by Two Lone Swordsmen, one of them is "Foreververb". I really enjoy this one, and maybe you guys know similar stuff? I'm not really looking for the "dated" electro to be honest.

[absolute zero]

I know this is "dated" but these are the songs i think of everytime i hear "electro":
Afrika Bambaataa - Looking For The Perfect Beat
Moskwa TV - Generator 78

you might wanna check out Modelselektor, G.D. Luxxe, Ascii Disko (though I'm not 100% sure whether they qualify as "electro", they sound pretty semi-minimal blippy mm*tstt*mm*tstt to me)
and get: Moby - Go (Trentemoller remix)

Radioactive Man, AKA Keith Tenniswood, is one half of TLS. You really should pick up his debut album as BLD said. Sits nicely between listening/dancing music but it's all really good.

[joethelion]

what about :

The Egyptian Lover -> You've got to at least check out the track "Egypt Egypt"
Sexual Harassment - "I Need a Freak"

but if you want more new-ish kind of sound, like electro-punk/whatever... pretty much anything by Boys Noize, Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, any of the Kitsuné Maison compilations...

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

"Aerodynamik" reminds me of a lot of stuff on the Kompakt label, maybe you should try one of them? Grab one of their compilations, you'll find plenty to like there ;)

[Camiel]

Gary Numan/ Afrika Bambaataa - Metal
Legowelt - Disco route
Orgue Electronique
Any various CD by dr. Lektroluv.

[koisk]

ah yes - Legowelt is awesome. It's using old analog machines but you should still look into it.

[matt]

as scott mentioned, you should definitely check out dave clarke's electro boogie mix series (http://www.discogs.com/release/1018) :cool:

[mkb]

ah yes - Legowelt is awesome. It's using old analog machines THUS you should still look into it.

Fixed that for you.

[koisk]

Fixed that for you.

No, no, I agree, but Leon was saying he was looking for stuff that wasn't "dated".

[koisk]

Oh and yes, the electro boogie mix cds, of course. I remember looong ago in the dirty irc channel a mr. scott and mr. tyler telling me about these. They are worth every penny.

[Tyler]

Keith Tucker is basically the shit. Especially this release: http://www.discogs.com/release/65325

[Camiel]

No, no, I agree, but Leon was saying he was looking for stuff that wasn't "dated".

[brag mode]I sold him my SCI multitrak some 4 months ago.[/brag mode]

[Tyler]

Check out the label Clone from Rotterdam:

http://www.clone.nl/label/clone

Lots of good stuff on there, including Legowelt, Dexter, etc. Lots of electro and techno.

[thee carp dreamer]

drexciya - harnessed the storm.
bit of a no-brainer.

[Camiel]

Solvent - my radio

[Renze]

Check out:

Photocall - "Silver Clouds"

The 2007 release on Clone includes an awesome remix by Dexter. I'm really loving it.

[Jafs]

Anthony Rother is awesome, get some of his tracks.

Word up.

And you can listen to the fabric compilation by Andrew Weatherall...

[Camiel]

I'm listening to I-F - Fucking consumer, right now.

[ceramic'cow]

I'm not sure if this is really what you're after, but I've just got hold of the album In Miniature by Rubicks. It's sort of electro-pop I suppose. I can't think off the top of my head of anyone to compare them to I'm afraid.

They've got that sort of slightly dark, almost kinky edge to them, a bit like later Goldfrapp, I guess, but with a pop sensibility.

Check out Midas, the first song I heard, on their Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/rubicks)

i never looked into it b/c Scott dissed it way back when :o

It's pretty rough mostly. I like the narrative quality of the music when listening along with the tracklisting but a few of the cuts are a bit too amelodic [sic?] and aggressive. However, Digital Tsunami is absolutely wonderful. I like Grava 4 the best I think.
