I need some new electronica

Orangy Tang · Post by **Orangy Tang** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:49 am 0

Would anyone care to recommend some good (doesn't have to be current) electronica music? Something along the lines of Orbital/Chemical Brothers/The Prodigy/RÃ¶yksopp - ideally stuff with minimal lyrics.

Recently I don't seem to be having much luck after recommendations of Orb, FSOL and Underworld seem to be lacking a certain something and being somewhat pedestrian.

Suggesions?

Try:
Ulrich Schnauss (both albums)
Fila Brazillia (early stuff)
BT (yellow version of Movement in Still Life)

A little more pedestrian:
The Notwist (Neon Golden)
Mum (sort of)
Susumu Yokota (Sakura)
Brian Eno (any)

Prodigy? Chemical Brothers? FSOL? Orb? Underworld?
Sorry to sound like a twat, but it isn't the 90s any more. Welcome to the 21st century.

These are all great albums made in the last 4 years or so:

Dabrye - Instrmntl (Instrumental Hip-Hop type stuff)
Akufen - My Way (Minimal 'Hiccup' House)
D'Arcangelo - Broken Toys Corner (Melodic Crunchy Breakbeat Type Stuff)
Claro Intellecto - Neurofibro (Excellent Detroit-esque Tech/Electro)
Smash TV - Bits For Breakfast (Slightly Gnarly Berlin Electropop)
Jackson and his Computer Band - Smash (Just Listen To It)
Four Tet - Rounds (Instrumental Hip-Hop Breakbeat type stuff)
Goudron - Raw Voltage (Melodic Electro)
Solvent - Solvent City (specifically the track 'A Panel Of Experts' which is lovely)

+ If you don't have any Boards of Canada then go and buy 'Music Has The Right To Children' immediately! (it's nearly 10 years old now and still sounds fresh).

There's a whole load more, but I don't have my mp3 collection handy right now... I'll post some more later.

This radio station plays some good stuff sometimes (but as always, some of it is crapola): http://www.limbikfreq.com/

(damnit, 'just a quick peek at YakYak' and I'm posting on the bleedin' thing again aren't I)

I've managed to avoid Bleatings though, which is the real time-eater.

*slaps own face*

Right! Back to work......

A little on the drum and bass side, but very interesting with a fair few tracks that will appreal to the electronica fan.

It's an electronica compilation.
It's only 6 pounds.

Listen before buying at Last.FM: http://www.last.fm/music/Various%20Artists/machine.music%202

...minimal lyrics and definitely not pedestrian.
