This is a sub-genre I have never fully explored - although I understand that Computer World and Grandmaster Flash are included (on Allmusic at any rate). Could anyone knowledgeable in this area give me some direction, please? Ta Kindly. |

Check out Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock" and "Looking for the Perfect Beat", Kraftwerk's "Tour De France", Cybotron's "Clear" and Man Parrish's "Boogie Down Bronx" and "Hip Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)" for some of the classics. |

I've downloaded some mantronix, and also planet rock. I'm using as an indicator. |

You ought to check out the Electro compilations on Streetsounds (they can be found on torrentspy atm), or just the Crucial Electro comp. And listen to k_maty and tolstoyed, they had great recommendations. |

Electric Kingdom by Twilight 22 is pretty dope. |
||||||||
|

Yeah, that's a pretty good compilation. Jonzun Crew's "Pack Jam" is a great song that I forgot to mention. Oh, and Mantronix is really great, but his stuff is more hip hop than electro though. |

is a good compilation? |

The tracklisting is great on that, but it's seems to be a collection of electro & old school hip hop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't a rather large branch of hip hop develop from Electro? |
||||||||

You are absoulutely right, it was all a happy family until about 88, when the two went in different directions. But there were still some connections between the two, like for example 2 Live Crew or the Miami Bass variant of electro. |

Informative websites - has a great list of original tracks, and a nice mix on there too. |
