non electronic music

this is my 1st thread so be gentle with me please :)

i was wondering as people who primarily listen to electronic
music (big presumpton but still...) what music you like that
isnt electronic?

this is for my own benefit, and id be very interested to
know people what people who like electronica listen to other
than electronic music.

thanx.

Also I would just like to add that I am 50/50 on my primary
listening between electronic and hiphop.

Hip-Hop
Funk
New Wave
Folky stuff ala Nick Drake

Although it can be argued that Hip-Hop and New Wave are
electronic.

the thing is, how exactly do you define "electronic"
nowadays?

many styles of music now use synths and digital effects and
such to aid in the sound.

i know i'm gonna get the piss taken out of me for this post,
but it's a serious statement.

just where do you draw the line?

sorry, i didn't explain myself very well. i meant what
aritsts other than electronic music do you listen to, rather
than general styles, and i'd like to know why you enjoy
them, and perhaps if you enjoy these more?

Hip Hop
a lot of abstract electroacoustic stuff (including field
recordings and improv artists) that doesn't really fit into
most people's concept of what electronic music is
lots of old funk, soul, and reggae
rock
avant-classical
classical
jazz
african funk from the 50's-70's
other "ethnic" music
folk

... and yeah... other stuff... you know, bleh

Obviously digital production is everywhere so personally I
drew the line as electronic = compositions who's primary
content, theme and concepts are generated electronically.

i think i appreciate most people who like electronica (i.e.
IDM) listen to other styles of music, i am a big fan of
electronica especially techno, but some other ambient
musics, i was hoping someone would point me to a new
direction, thats alll

thankx tolstoyed, i can see how groups such as massive
attack, almost on the borderline of electronica (like
portishead, for example) can fit into someones ideology as
appreceative music. im a mills/clarke person myself, more of
a technohead, really getting into this ambient type of music
for the 1st time.

if you're a fan of ambient... and are open-minded to more
experimental stuff... there's tonnes of really crazy good
ambient-abstract-glitch-noise type stuff that you might want
to hear... who are some of your favourite ambient artists?

I listen to underground hip hip, though technically it is
electronic. The same can even be said of pop and R&B music,
given that production is aided by keyboards, samplers,
computers, etc.

As for genuine acoustic music, I like early jazz (e.g. Miles
Davis & John Coltrane) and I'd like to explore more of it.
I'm quite fond of John Cage's prepared piano as well.

If you like ambient stuff there are many related genres you
might like. I mean, have you heard old original ambient
stuff, Brian Eno ect? I think you should definitely check
him out he is the real daddy.

Aksak Maboul 'Un peu de l'Ame des Bandits' is a BOMB!!!!
It must be a first listen. It's their second album, first
was 'Onze dances pour combattre la migraine', it's
absolutely different, not as good as 'Un peu de l'ame'.
There seems to be a third record under the name Aksak
Maboul, but it's very hard to get.
