So i'm not sure if this has been done before (besides the "Electronic Music of 2006" thread that is), but i'm willing to give it a go. I mean, we have a metal/ambient/noise thread, but no thread dedicated specifically to electronic music. Given that the Ambient nook is pretty much my home here at SOMB, i figured there was some room to squeeze in a second hangout. So i say let's give it a go. Even if that means some overlap with the ambient thread, this is our place to talk about electronic(a)/techno/dubstep or what have you.

I'll start off the festivities with one of my early favs from 2007:

Pantha du Prince - This Bliss (Dial, 2007)

1. Asha
2. Saturn Strobe
3. Walden 2
4. Moonstruck
5. Eisbaden
6. Urlichten
7. White Out
8. Florac
9. Steiner im Flug
10. Seeds of Sleep

Awesome techno/house with a bit of minimalist as well. Great atmosphere throughout, especially on standouts "Saturn Strobe" and "Steiner im Flug."

EDIT: Make that two of my early favs from this year (here's the Bracken i posted a little while back):

Bracken - We Know About The Need (Anticon, 2007)

1. Of Athroll Slains
2. Heathens
3. (Int)
4. Fight Or Flight
5. Safe Safe Safe
6. Music For Adverts
7. Evil Teeth
8. Four Thousand Style
9. La Monte Lament
10. Many Horses
11. Back On The Calder Line

The Pantha album is definitely a keeper. Although i almost hesitate to call it "minimal" techno at all, it is far more atmospheric than most albums in that genre. Also, I have yet to check out his earlier stuff. I'd do that right now, except there is a surprising wealth of quality electronic titles leaking right now. I'll up a few more in a bit.

I was going to say the same thing. If your intent was to present a forum for discussion of more uptempo or danceable form of electronica separate from the ambient electronica of the other thread, I would not have put Bracken in here. That said, I do love it. It's like a poppier, more uptempo and yet glitchier version of Hood, which is a very good thing, just not a "electronic(a)/techno/dubstep" thing.

Oh, i guess i kinda botched my intention. Although i used the word "dance" in the title of the thread, i simply meant for a place to talk about electronic music, assuming that the majority of it would be upbeat enough to be considered danceable. That being said, there are all sorts of different types of electronic music, and i am interested in hearing about all of them.

In that way, Bracken very much has a place in this thread. For one thing, it is classifiable as both electronic and dubstep, or at the very least strongly influenced by both. Besides, it is poppy and very much danceable (then again, i sometimes think i could find a way to dance to anything, so i guess part of the fault is mine.) In regards to the Ambient nook, there is no way that Bracken would fit in there. So rather than slot it into a thread of its own (or the free-for-all grabbag which is the 2006 Fish thread,) i figured i could mention it here. Besides, it has "Heathens." Enough said.

So there you have it, the disclaimer for this thread that probably should have come at the beginning of the thread, but alas. If it is electronic, it has a place here. Hell, it doesn't even need to be all that danceble (hence the "lonely" end of the dance floor.)

My love for the genre will prevent me from scoffing at anything, i promise. I have a dream, and that dream involves me never leaving the ambient nook and this thread. Well, perhaps only on rare occasions (i gotta be in the know for when Neon Bible leaks after all.)

Threadkiller

Jan 20 2007, 11:23 PM

And now back to the music. There shouldn't be any objections to this next one (well, i'm sure some will point out that this could fit into the ambient thread, but fuck it, a little overlap is not gonna kill anyone.)

Denzel + Huhn - Paraport (City Center Offices, 2007)

1. Kleiner Bruder
2. July
3. Targo
4. Korre
5. Karlsruhe
6. Dorian
7. Cauka
8. NDR
9. Paraport
10. New Kerwe
11. Lope
12. Senet
13. Erinnye
14. Treibel
15. Offane

Amazing ambient/minimal electronic stuff. There is a lot going on in this one. Some tracks will come on strong with a heavy pulsating beat (such as Korre,) only to blend into a dicey electronic ambience akin to Fennesz's Venice (see: Karlruhe.) Highly recommended for electronic and ambient fans alike.

While the logician in me concurs with this statement in reality many of my favourite artists making music with electronics are striving for congruent conflation. Most of the stuff that really resonates with me is equal parts body and mind. Pantha du Prince is a case in point.

Good thread. I shall endeavor to contribute over the coming months.

I'm not going to stop you if you wish to start a new thread for precisions sake. You create it, i'll support it. However, i'm with Bruegel on this one: i think that many of the artists do strive for some kind of blurring between "dance" and "electronic music." Plus, most electronic artists who clearly do not make dance music lean more towards ambient. In which case, the creation of another thread would involve so much overlap that it seems counterproductive. Using ambient as an example, thats kind of like dividing that thread up into subcategories of electronic ambient, post-classical ambient, minimalist ambient, etc. While such division may be categorically correct, it would hardly be efficient having to wade through thousands of threads trying to find that one "correct" thread.

Anyhow, that was my reasoning when choosing to create this thread. Besides, the SOMB had gone so long without such a thread, i wasn't even sure if an electronic music thread would be supported. So far, it seems the answer to that is a resounding "yes."

If you can put up with MAH fawning like a puppy and generally being a bit annoying this is well worth a listen and not just because it includes a truly amazing 45min benga/skream mix to celebrate the first anniversary of the Dubstep Warz show. I would recommend this mix to the uninitiated and unconvinced.....not just to dubstep fans.

Loads of other highlights on the show too.....the Chevron and Plastician tunes (cant wait for their albums to drop this year), Anders Ilar's 'PROB' and the new Arsenic are standouts but top of the tree for me is 'Bury da Bwoy' from Digital Mystikz.......can't get enough of that galloping beat. Also, is it just me or does the Tech N9ne tune stick out like the sorest thumb in history. To be honest though it would probably stick out most places. The show is rounded of with a special treat...new tune from Barry Lynn a.k.a Boxcutter.....more of the murky, noir brilliance we have come to expect.

Has anyone ever thought about the implications of calling one form of electronic music intelligent over another? I think in the mid-90's when this stuff was gaining popularity, too many nerds who didnt know how to dance jumped on it like it was the second coming (which in many ways it was the rebirth of certain kraut/eno tendencies.) Since the emphasis was on creativity (like 4/4 isnt creative, right?) instead of the motion of the dance floor a split was made between dumb club music VS idm. Dont get me wrong I love me some aphex twin, autechre, and boards of canada just as much as the next person, but are they any more creative than artists such as daft punk, stardust(alan braxe), or armend van helden? IMO, its all about what aspects of the music push buttons in your CNS.

Im still catching up on the stuff I missed last year and my current obsession is The Wee DJ’s (aka Dave Being) Fear and Lothian. Why this album was released in the middle of summer is beyond me but I’m glad that I didn’t get round to it until deepest greyest winter. If you like your beats dark and your electro with extra menace then this is for you. It’s simultaneously sharp and murky and if, as I hope, there is a mechanised Atlantis lurking somewhere of the coast of Scotland Im sure this shit dominates their charts……

well im listening to Cichlisuite right now and realizing that its SO good and that it does have some dance floor tendencies, but still maintains that pointilist autechre sound. My question was meant to be taken both ways, as a critique on the term idm and as a critique on the inability for most ravers/dance fans to enjoy non-dance electronic music. Its idm's fault for being to pretentious and its raves fault for being too commercialized. Althogh, they both could be considered commercialized at this point.

Obviously there's lots of overlap between ppl who will claim 'idm' aiming for the dance floor or whatever, which is fine; it makes sense that we would have pantha du prince in here. And no bias inherent against either (although I"m not so big on autechre stuff myself there's no particular value judgement intended).

my previous statement still stands, its all about mixability and mood. Standard house mixes usually go for that party love vibe while german microhouse usually goes for melancholy, but the two can be mixed as proven by Superpitcher's Today mix of last year. The way he takes you out of the tunnel and into the sunshine of house is a perfect example.

Now on the other hand, in terms of people discovering new sounds I agree with you 10 fold. Most people on this board wouldnt know blake baxter from bobby valentino, nor would they search for said artist. But let mush or warp or any other indie friendly electronic label release a new Jackson and his Computer Band record and a thread ten pages long will be dedicated. I think maybe, if anything, a new thread should be started for pre 2000 house/techno/jungle or in other words all non-chillout rave music.

Just listened to Pantha Du Prince this afternoon while everyone is watching the Bears. You can get lost in this album, very deep and gorgeous. It's the first one this year I feel attached to.

The Denzel + Huhn wasn't doing much for me, so I downloaded this one as well and like it much much more.

I don't get it. I'm not very into the Pantha Du Prince. I'm reallllly enjoying the Denzel + Huhn. I really like the repetition and the usage of skipping and clicks and bleeps. It's a pretty interesting listen I think. I found that the Pantha Du Prince was a little bit boring. Am I missing something everyone else seems to be saying its awe inspiring?

Yeah, you're missing something. The PdP is pretty much perfect as far as my ears tell me. The way he layers those melodies and lets them bounce off each other is just wonderful. But if you don't like it, you don't like it.

It's okay.

If the SOMB overwhelmingly recommends something, and then it doesn't completely knock me out, it feels like a disappointment even if it's still good.
