im no expert on genres... but is this autechre album called "electro" it seems to be kind of dated, with all the 808 drum sounds. it kind of ruins it for me except the first track which is amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'd call it "electro". and I really liked that aspect of it, makes me think of legos for some reason :d by the way that's a 606 they're using...I know cos I had one. probably helped me appreciate the album better :) |
||||||||

|
sounds just like the 808 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

yeah, the hi hats and snare are very similar. the kick is weak as hell though (listen to track 2) - for those tracks with the nice thick kick sound, I think they sampled a fatter kick or they got a trigger box (the 606 has trigger outs for replacing the tom sounds) |

whatever U say , 444 still kicks like an octopus |

i never managed to figure out what electro was, but i dont think incunabula qualifies though... in my head, electro sounds like team doyobi. but im probably wrong... or maybe 2ls... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
2ls is definately electro i think. i reckon you could class gescom's motor ep as electro as well. team doyobi fucken rule man. i don't know if theyre electro or not though.. |

This album is awesome. I don't really care if there's too many sounds or whatnot as long as it sounds good. And Lowride sounds DAMN good. |
||||||||

Incunabula is def. not 'electro', even tho I know Sean is fond of electro, especially Anthony Rother. |
||||||||
|

|
|
just what does Electro mean anyway? i thought it was what all electronic music was called.... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Inanunabula? Hehe, read that as you typed it. :-) Not quite right. That album is OK. Not as good as what they did later, although the opening couplet of Kalpol Intro and Bike blows me away, one of my favorite Autechre moments. |

I think 'electro' was born in late 70's. It actually started with the breakdance/hiphop thingy... Afrika Bambataa is one of the pioneers... you migh have heard of them in the mid 80's... that's real oldskool... later nuskool electro was created by Anthony Rother, which is IMO on of the greatest characters in this genre. He's still going strong... check him out to check out 'electro'. Other great artists are Dynamix II, Dopplereffect and not to forget Tipper! It's not really hard to find out whether a track is 'electro' or not. |

I don't think that's RDJ. But I'm not that much in the know regarding RDJ. Is Packman one of his aliases? |

Mind you, the article is by David Toop and he is trying harder to be funny than to be informational. |
||||||||

its all early break dancing...i have about half of them artists on the 'very best of electrobreak dance- the real old school revival' cd many of them are pants. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the article is pretty abstract since they are mixing up diff. styles. it's not about electro alone. :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, all David Toop's articles are usually about his personal mind trips rather than about the actual subject matter. |
