The two albums "D.I. Go Pop" and "Technicolour" by Disco Inferno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Yep, Amnesiac is the best radiohead album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The Aluminum Group- ''Happyness'', ultra cool, nice use of some jazzy pretty synths. Seelenluft- ''Out of the Woods'' has some minor, sometimes major electronic flavor to some of the tracks, too. And of course, much Hood. Good call on the M83, that track is such a heart tickler, great stuff. |

The new Bark Psychosis album whenever it's released, by which time the whole world will have tired of listening to the mp3s. |
||||||||

I used to quite like the Lo-Fidelity Allstars, would they fit in this bracket? |
||||||||
|
|

How about....The Postal Service and DNTEL. |
||||||||
|

Bark Psychosis=One of the best bands that ever was But I didn't list them because they fit more towards the "post rock" thing for me, I used to know their keyboard player, I'm not sure he was much of a knob twiddler, same for Sigor Ros who also =One of the best bands ever. To be honest though I don't like to place things into little musical boxes, I guess you kind of have to sometimes though, otherwise it could get too eclectic and people would be listing Elton John or something. Are they doing a new New album (if so wow!), I heard it was gonna be like a bootleg of old gigs (which if so again,wow!, they did some of the best gigs I've ever seen) |

They do have a new album, the date keeps getting put back, called, oddly, Codename:Dustsucker. There are two very nice mp3s on the record label, especially the track Rose, on ummmm www.firerecords.com. Go to the Audio bit. The live compilation i think you mention is on the increasingly desperate, scraping the barrel 3rd Stone Records, and some suggest it isn't live at all but just the records played in another room and recorded onto a dictaphone. |

That really surprises me, The band basically split up because Hex was a complete commercial disaster, even though it is probably one of the best albums ever made, there is no justice in this world, their label apparantly pumped a ton of money into them but dropped them like hot cakes when no-one bought the album. I remember talking to Daniel (the keyboard player) about it and he just seemed to write off the whole experience of recording Hex as a terrible time in his life, maybe he was being a bit O.T.T but I really never thought they would ever get back together. Well, great news, it just goes to show that good music can win in the end, now all we need now is for people to actually buy the danm thing, so err.. think before you download. |

Hex is one of the greatest albums of all time, and it's legend has grown and grown so I suspect it still sells today. But it was never going to be a hit album and I think it would have been unwise to bank on it being big. Maybe if they'd released "Blue" beforehand as a single, and included "Scum" on the album... I agree about them being Post-Rock but I'd put "Blue" as Electronica Rock. What a lovely tune, i am going to play it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I dunno, I think Hex could have done a lot better then it did, it was around the time when that sort of music was at a high spot, lots of clubs n events going on, and Bark were doing loads of gigs, getting rave reviews in the press etc but for some reason the album didn't sell enough to sustain them. Though it might just have appeared like that at the time to me because almost everyone I knew was a fan, it's not really commercial material but nor is Sigor Ros and they sold loads more records (maybe Bark should have bidded for the Vanilla Sky soundtrack, maybe not). Any yeah, true sayings about Blue, it's very New Order (a good thing) and therefore electronica and a great track, I don't like the remix of Big Shot on that single though cos it spoils one of their greatest tracks IMO. |

Hmmm, i think it's the same with Disco Inferno. I remember a review in Melody Maker, where they had their 3rd single of the week in a row and the reviewer said you should tatoo under your eyelids "This is the greatest band ever and you never bothered to listen to them", or words to that effect. Rave reviews but noone bought the records. Even only all the good bands held on for the Internet, and people getting into them 10 years later.... Wooooah, don't get me started on Gay Dad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah I remember Disco Inferno, you know I kind of forgot about them, it's because it's on vinyl and I'm pretty much all mp3 nowadays so I haven't listened to it for ages, it's just a chore to record/edit all your vinyl sometimes. I can't even remember the name of the album but I remember it being really good, very moody, like the first New Order album. I'll have to dig it out, you say it's stood the test of time? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Emmanuelle de Hericourt probably doesn't exactly fit, but is worth checking out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Hmmm, if you're saying it's like New Order it might be "In Debt" which is the first half of their career. Very good but the genius, no the geeeeeeeenius, lies in the two albums after that, "D.I. Go Pop" and "Technicolour" where they took sampling to places it had never been before and never went again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have Disco Inferno's "in debt", and it is a stunningly beautiful album...every song...especially Arc in Round....its a good mix of New Order and Cure...but much more darker and fluid.. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how about linkin park? huh?!?!? theyre cool right?!?! hardcore hardcool! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i much prefer papa roach's debut more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah! must have been "In Debt" I had, Oh well looks like I'll have to be one of those people who gets into the other albums ten years too late, I do remember wanting to get "DI go Pop" when it first came out but I think I was strapped for cash at the time, I never even got a chance to hear it, too busy buying KLF and Orb records probably (which I now never listen too). I had a theory about BP's lack of sales, the vocals, maybe they weren't strong enough for real commercial success, they fitted the tracks perfectly but he wasn't a very dynamic singer, the lyrics were lovely though, maybe all some people heard was some miserable depressed sounding guy, I did get some complaints when playing it at work which really used to piss me off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, the new BP album has a female singer.... I didn't have that much of a problem with his style of "singing", i thought it fitted them quite well overall. But a lot of people i think would say his voice dtracted from the music. GIR > Arc in round is indeed a top, top song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well I'll dig my DI album out even though it's not any of the electronic ones. Hopefully I'll still like it, had a problem with the old Slowdive stuff when I listened to that recently, think I prefer the "Blue Skied n Clear" versions (hope that isn't sacrilige). A female singer will be a bit wierd for me,(though if she's anything like the one on the "Nothing Feels" ep it will be OK I guess), I do like his voice, I'm just used to it I guess, I've listened to "Hex" at least once/twice a month on and off since it was first released. |

most of the morr catalogue, like lali puna and notwist.. both of which are excellent, by the way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also broadcast |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
howsabout the Notwist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh. guess I agree with you. :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got a Notwist album, it's not on Morr though, it's on City Slang, I was gonna list a track off that actually, don't know why I didn't. Yeah! love Broadcast, only have the first mini album and first proper album though, yeah! there's some electronica moments on them but they are a hard band to classify, they always reminded me of retro stuff like The White Noise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

broadcast are dreamy i saw them last fall. it was an awesome set. the encore was 'hammer without a master,' my favorite song by them. when they went off, i was disappointed that i wasn't going to get to hear it. i was pleasantly surprised though. are their EP's any good? ive only got work and non work, pendulum, haha sound, microtronics... i've heard some stuff from noise made by people but don't have a copy. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
does the new TLS album count? i really like that as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"Work and Non Work" is among one of my favourite CDs, nearly all of it recently made it onto an "all time classic" Mp3 type disc I did and I had a lot of stuff to choose from. There's about 5 tacks from "Noise Made by People" that are wonderfull and the rest are just OK, to these ears at least, but it's still worth checking out cos those tracks really are nice. Some people actually rate their e.p.s higher than their albums, they tend to do more instrumental type stuff, the WARP purists tend to prefer that I guess. I saw them once at a WARP gig and loved them, they are great live but all my mates hated them cos they were only there for Plone and Plaid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh! and sorry I haven't the foggiest who TLS are |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've only heard 'haha sound' actually......and yeah, i liked it a lot. welcome to the board, by the way. |

*whispers* Two Lone Swordsmen |

bjork stereolab xiu xiu |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, The Race, on Flameshovel records, are nice too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Two Lone Sworsman? who? No, actually of course I know who they are, I've never heard any tracks by them that could be considered rock or pop but they did do that really nice track with the Electronic sample in it, but I've not checked em much recently, I do remember they did a sort of clubby electro album which I found mind numbingly boring, nowhere near as good as "Stay Down". and in contast to Bark Psychosis, Sabres of Paradise once performed one of the worst gigs I've ever seen. |

been doing some research on this, it seems that both the DI albums were deleted on 30/12/02, dammit. I might still be able to find them for sale used but the word is out now so it might be pretty tough. BTW the records I have by them are "Science" and "Closed Windows, Open Doors" "Hex" was deleted on 21/08/96, just a couple of years after it was first released (14/02/94) which is criminal really but at least my copy might be worth something (not that I'd ever sell it of course) on e-bay one day. |

look up an instrumental band called Fridge fairly unknown, i think, but good :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Xiu xiu; they're more influenced by 80's stuff like einsturzende neubauten and some noise than "electronica". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I managed to get both the DI albums so cheers for the tip dog-belch, they are both fantastic. Unfortunately the same can't be said for "Codename Dustsucker" which was very average IMO, a shame. |
