Electronic Music of the moment...

[arjue]

its a classic. It sounds a little dated, but it is still a very solid release.

Personally, I prefer rhythm & stealth.

Any opinions on Leftfield's Leftism?

I have both Leftism and Rythm and Stealth. Personnaly I prefer the sound of Leftism. Reminds me of some good old school, innocent era of techno. However on both these albums, there are some excellent tracks, and some not so good ones. I don't know how they do that, but they have some of the best stuff out there, then filled with the album with some tracks I can beraly listen to the end.

Speaking of old Leftfield, My roomate bought the Hackers DVD recently and I forgot how cool the soundtrack was. Makes me remember the good old days where I got interested in techno music artists from Wipeout XL. Damn that too was a great compilation (Leftfield, Underworld, Prodigy, Fluke, Future sound of London, Orbital, Daft Punk)

After all these years, Fluke is still the king and stayed true to his particular style. I was able to find his latest album, Puppy which sound just like I exepected it would after 6 years of waiting Then I got his 3-CD compilation/history of Fluke: Progressive History XXX.

Tracer mentionned something about Rez OST in this thread. Well there's this guy, Adam Freeland, who composed the great piece of audio for Area 5, the best of the bunch. I found out he was also responsible for a track on Animatrix, also a very good one. So I got interested in Freeland, bought an album and downloaded the other. The track he made for Rez came from his album Fabric Live 16. The original song is called "All in Nothing". You recognize it immediately with its heavy beats and repetitive lyrics.. "Fear is the mind killer!". Very good stuff.

[LOL]

"Mind Killer" is also on the "Now and Them" import, but it's a bit different from the Rez version. That album also has "Burn the Clock," which is my favorite by him. It's got the sexiest beat I've ever heard.

You haven't lived until you've listened to Ellen Allien. Noir-glitch is amazing.

[epmode]

is berlinette her latest record? i haven't kept up since then.

oh, and because no one mentioned it yet, the new record by the faint is rock. though it's less electronic-y than their last one.

[Glock17]

Anyone listen to Junkie XL's new cd Radio XL-A broadcast from?

[tflow]

Ellen Allien is pretty good, but not as trancey as most of the electronic music i have. i'm looking for new music though, and i was wondering if you guys could help me. i like straight up trance like oakenfold and van dyk, as well as ambient stuff from robert miles and chicane and boards of canada. i don't have much though, and i feel like i'm missing out on a lot of good music out there just cause i haven't heard of it, so what would you guys recommend? thanks

[Rtificial]

If you like boards of canada, try plaid. They are on the same label as them.

[LOL]

Marumari and Casino vs Japan are the most similar artists to Boards of Canada that I've found. Unfortunately, it's impossible for anyone to touch BOC. There are also a lot of indie rock and pop groups that give off a BOC vibe.

Hey me too, we must be of the same blood.

Wipeout's a great series. I think the first on the Saturn was the best. I still listen to it and 3 in my car.

As an update I just bought Leftism. I found it at B&N for 12.99. That's cheap for them, thier CD's tend to run 17.99. So far I like Afro-Left the best.
