any votes or suggestions for the main noteable musical landmarks of recent years, e.g. great names like kraftwerk, aphex, drexciya and genres like house/techno/hip hop/electro/jungle/dub... but is there anything that stands out since all those, what's new these days, who's new, what have i missed... dubstep kicked off around the beginning of the decade, but what since then... in the last 5 years... looking at festival lineups is quite surprising... is digital p2p making people apathetic or mediochre or splintering things into such individuality that they cannot conglomerate... please let us know what is special to you in this day and age/of contemprary times? where will electronic/dance music go, do you think? or is is back to acoustic live travelling minstrels?

for me who usually buys 15+ albums a year, has spent the past 3 relying on youtube.. I like to blame the recession, but nothing is tickling my fancy (even AE!! wtf)
gil scott heron's album was good though.
hopefully dance/electronic music starts really spanning genres, not just in that indie/dance shitty way

Grizzly Bear really impress me. I hate most of what Warp release these days but GB I think are actually worth the hype. If by some odd chance you've not heard them, skip Veckatimest and go back one to Yellow House (2006). Fucking awesome and one of the few truly original concoctions I've heard in the last ten years. Yeah they sound sorta like the Beach Boys but they do it fresh like.

I can't stand dubstep, the only time i enjoyed it was when a sexy belly dancer was dancing and taking my attention away from the music.

i think golden age of hip hop was 83-93, apart from the odd tune, a bit of Dilla and early Timbaland, that's the best generalisation i can come to in three lines
any years/producers (in 3 lines) for (quoting from Juno 'Dance' Music):
Reggae/Dancehall/Ska Funk/Disco/Jazz House/Garage Techno Hardcore/hardstyle Experimental/Electronic Electro Hip Hop/DJ Tools Dubstep/Grime Breakbeat/Drum And Bass
cut this list out and wrap it to a toilet roll, sticking breakbeat/drum and bass next to reggae
what is inside the toilet roll? or rather, when are we going to need a bigger one?

looking thru clone, boomkat, juno, myspace is rewarding yes but also rare, such a lot of effort i was just looking for some positive advancement, something i hadnt found, like hurricane habit and labrynth for instance

Theres good new tunes all the time. I think the days of massive advancement in electronic music is over. Dubstep offers very little difference over what came before it.
super super super but old

destroy IDM then more good music will come from the U.S.A.
shun Warp Records otherwise kids will imitate !!!, grizzly bear, pile of shit 57...etc etc
starve warp of cash + attention.... let it die
build culture of Analogue Recording so new tape machines can be built... new non-proprietry analogue cassette... like elcaset/naks but new/better/popular/widespread high quality analogue for the masses
big up Electronic Engineering influence Aphex fans towards electronics huge diy community will grow to support musicians -> prices become cheap for all our culture becomes closer to the history and development of electronic music from its conception rather than any fake usa mistaken interpretations
new Electronic Music Synth go to China or Taiwan hire 5 engineering graduates (cheap) build a new synth - best of analogue / digital, musical, easy for all, (cheap) musicians dream machine manufacturing in asia, sell by internet... korg/roland/yamaha become jealous and copy... kickstart a new culture of better synths than the DSP crap thats sold today

the above ideas aint new musical forms. BUT they allow us to explore new areas of the old forms. we had drum and bass.... so we now do aesthetically perfect drum and bass.... we had acid.... now we do aesthetically perfect acid, etc etc...... novelty/newness was one driving force.... another driving force is to make it more beautiful.... there is room for both in art.... but art's main concern is beauty not novelty (in my opinion hehe)....
music is not so general as electronics. music is art. electronics is a craft. music comes from the heart and soul so there is little point in arguing what feelings are in your heart...
each musician follows his own sense of beauty... or some other pretentious phrase hehe
reinventing the wheel? ok if you want to... or we could design a more beautiful and amazing wheel than before... or at least try and fail...

New musical forms??
why do they eat sushi in Japan? why didnt the English invent sushi?
different: cultures history country location religion people (japanese didnt meet english)
form differences = geographical differences?? (in many cases in teh past maybe)
So... new musical forms.... different countries....
simple idea, take these general/basic ideas: *perfect aesthetic (HQ analogue recording.... beautiful music...)
*perfect methodology (best of analogue and digital electronics, no VST DAW shit)
*the idea "EXPLORE ELECTRONICS AND MUSIC" *follow the footsteps of the history of electronic music from its conception around 120 years ago
... take these ideas around the world and make them popular in distant (non-western) countries
say... India... Singapore... China.... Taiwan... where the education level is high, and the materials and resources are cheap....
introduce purity of electronic music to them and try to influence them......
there will be a language barrier... other differences, culture, history, people, blah blah
because of the differences... the ideas we share will become absorbed by them.... but changed....possibly into something quite very different... because of the differences in our thinking... new forms will come about.... as different as sushi and a full english breakfast......

I swear if some of you just listened to some foreign musical compositions for a while, your palette would be cleansed and refreshed.
Such great music out of Bali - Gamelan

i think it's good to listen to some kind of music and retrieve elements of such genre called idm in it. it's like discovering that all gipsy music have common traits if you know what i mean
