Electronica

[Smooth_Operator]

I'm all about the trip hop (which I think is generally considered a genre of electronica), 'specially during heated encounters with warm, not-so-clothed friends. Mostly, its more down-tempo, "funky" sounding grooves that really seem to put you in the mood. Portishead, Lamb, ColdCut, Freeworm, Massive Attack, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Sneaker Pimps, Hooverphonic, Tricky...

I might add that if you are actually curious, poke your head in at cdnow.com and look at their "styles" page. All kinds of good recommendations for starting points with sound clips, as well.

(woowoo, I broke my Literotica BB cherry!)

Welcome, and congratulations for joining on such a worthy topic. Although I must say that I like happy hardcore at least as much as funk, depending on my mood.

 

[PolythenePam]

hell yes, BT is awesome

what online resources do you use?
for your music shopping needs?

if you go to amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.com I'm sure you could pick up the emerson discs.

I really like your name, I wonder how many people pick up on the reference?

I normally use amazon, sometimes eBay has some good stuff--I found Amanda Ghost there after I'd heard a song on Queer as Folk that I liked a lot
Thanks--a lot of peopleget the reference, but a whole lot more go 'what the hell is Polythene??'

I think that I really want to hear this song:

"Killermuffin" by Goldie.

It's like this bass'n drums thing that he did in 1992 or something under the name Metalheadz. Apparently he's the prince of bass'n drums and likes to tell everyone that he's about more than that.

Frank Zappa, who was a consummate musician, actually did a lot of his later composing almost entirely through electronic media. He felt he had more freedom to get the exact sound he wanted. My point is that it's the end result that counts, and the musician is still responsible for what comes out. One way isn't inherently better than another, music is music.

Yeah I remember reading something about the PMRC trial and it said that after the trial was done the next Zappa album had a Parent Advise sticker on it, but it was all instrumental.

I Heard It Was A Good Album!

Yeah. Okay.

Neil Diamond.
Vic Damone.
Wayne Newton.

Real guitars. Real drumbs. Real musos.

Accept no substitutes.


Gimme Traci Lords any day of the week.

What A Spitfire She Is. Is The Music REALLY That Good Too?

Hey, Kiwi, if it takes no musical talent to make electronica, why don't you go ahead and cut a tune? It's easy because it's not real music and they aren't real musicians. Right? I assume you can get this done today.

Have you ever seen Mortal Kombat the movie? Traci did one of those songs, Control. I've got it on mp3.

Blending sounds to make a pleasing melody is writing music. It doesn't matter how those sounds are produced, just that they are produced.

Your definition of music is very--bigoted. Narrow in focus. Ignorant. Your definition of what's "good" music, is perfect, because it suits you. But calling something not music or disrespecting it just because you don't like that kind of music is a little childish.

But that's okay, I still love ya. Who else'd understand what's up when I quote Anthrax?

Sorry if I offended Muff. Electronica isn't my bag and yes i do admit to bigotry in my assessment of the genre. I'm a muso who laboured for years to learn to play the drums to a stage where I can actually say I was a good drummer. I also did lead vocals in a moderately successful pub band for a few years, warbling a mixture of Hard rock/Heavy metal anthems and heavy originals.

I cop to all of the above and admit to a particular brand of narrow mindedness that is indeed childish.







I still think that IA951 is a fucknut though.

 

[Arc da Rat]
