RE: (313) Electro Recommends?

2008-05-23 Thread Odeluga, Ken
I'm having an early middle-aged electro upswing:

http://www.discogs.com/release/873781   The Consumer
http://www.discogs.com/release/524084   The Consumer
http://www.discogs.com/release/187491   Volfram, check the label, Stilleben also
http://www.discogs.com/release/907284   Data Cat, again check the label, it's 
owned by Legowelt

Which leads me to say, you will need to seek out the proper electro which 
Legowelt does sooner or later if you haven't already, rather than the 
italo/chicago type of stuff he does which has electro trimmings. The latter are 
good imo, but not quite what you're after, I'm sure you know.

The same goes for Viewlexx, Bunker, etc

The two fairly recent silicon scally LPs got mixed reviews but I like 'em - 
they're quite IDMish. Perhaps a bit too digital-sounding though. This is the 
one I would recommend to you:

http://www.discogs.com/release/892700

I hesitate to give this - but you did say vocoders are OK so long as they're 
not speaking English!


The last two Urban Tribe vinyls are definitely what you want, I think:


I would also check earlier stuff like

http://www.discogs.com/release/194099
http://www.discogs.com/release/365605 Dez Williams, although prepare to be 
disappointed that he's not had anything new for a while.

yeah, I like parts of that, mainly these tracks:
Vapour Trails
Box - is alright but so similar to other high tempo electro tunes Pluck 
Fallblattanzeige - really dig this Remains - and this too Melting Faces - and 
this

most things on Ai rock my world - anything else along these lines? stuff that's 
a little more IDM or leftfield but has Electro roots seeping through the 
cracks?

really trying to steer clear of the electro clichés: robots, androids, 
Kraftwerk/Egyptian Lover rip-offs I think vocoders are still worth hearing as 
long as what's being said hasn't already been said half a gazillion times (or 
is in a non-English
language)

The last two pieces of Urban Tribe vinyl are definitely what you are looking 
for:

I would also check earlier stuff like

Finally don't forget:

He's been doing airy but thought-provoking electro for decades.

I'll vouch for the excellentness of Volframs 'Welcome to Gothenburg' as
well, very subtle, very simple and low fi. Pure modern electro.

Yeah t that 'welcome to gothenburg' is amazing. There's another cool
record by a french guy Automat, sounds like just an 808 and a yamaha CS15,
really nice.  I'm having an early middle-aged electro upswing:
