goDel Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Better? The first thing they say is: 1982 was when it all began. Yes, 1982 was the pivotal year that electronic music crashed into prominence. Nothing happened earlier than that. And it was all due to the creation of a single, ingenius invention, one of the most celebrated collaberations of collaberaters in the standards-fractured world of electronic equipment: MIDI. And that's when I didn't care to read any further... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 That is the crappiest list I've ever seen. It's more like "A Guide To IDM" with a few exceptions - Jarre, Popol Vuh, Eno. No Wendy Carlos. No Tangerine Dream (seriously wtf!) No Klaus Schulze No 70's/80's West Coast Space Music (Steve Roach, Michael Stearns, Constance Demby among many others) No Steve Reich. No Kraftwerk Seriously, forget that list and dive into any of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yet another "WARP needs money" release which I don't need. More or less I've got all stuff. But a good reminder to re-listen to the Guy called Gerald Automanikk album, need to find it first... Loved it back in those days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 $19.99!?!?!? They've got to be fucking kidding. It's a pretty good comp, as far as comps go, but definitely not ideal. I agree, Moroder, Kraftwerk and W Carlos need some love. Also, possibly the Silver Apples. It is good they at least have Popol Vuh and Throbbing Gristle, but come on. Also, for RDJ, Windowlicker? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well seems the link was removed, but I'll just say that compilation I posted can be googled REALLY easily and is a far better comp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 There are a lot people right here on this forum that could have made a list a good deal better than that one. I know I already said it but no Tangerine Dream? That's like creating a guide to Classical music and leaving out Mozart. I'm not even a musician but I still know when to get down on my knees and pay homage to the fucking Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 When I was a teenager in the mid 1980's, TD would sometimes put out three albums in a year - usually a new studio album, a live album and a soundtrack too. Even to this this day, I cannot comprehend how a group of German guys could be so endlessly inventive and prolific. I, along with a couple of other guys used to while away the afternoons in the rec room of my sixth- form college days and play TD, Schulze and Eno on the stereo. All the shallow, trendy bastards would moan and say "What the fuck is this shit? Can't we listen to Bros, Terence Trent Darby or Curiosity Killed The Cat?" "No, we fucking can't. Listen and educate yourselves." Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cear Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It all is a bit too contemporary I think. There are huge gaps between the 30's and the late 60's. They could've found more there no? It's sad I know nearly all the last 40 tracks, I would've hoped on more hidden gems.. If there wasn't something like legal and licensing issues this list would've been more of interest I think (even if you kept it around 50 or so tracks). It's fun listening though, don't get me wrong, I nearly love all these tracks (especially from the 70s through the late 90s)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roksen Creek Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Graham Massey will be talking about this compilation on The Radcliffe and Maconie show on BBC Radio 6 today if anyone is interested. It's on between 1-4pm GMT today. http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ruiagnelo Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Finally decided to check this out. Seems like the 90's and onwards tracks were randomly chosen, or chosen according to popularity levels. It's too bad because they probably also have chosen the other tracks randomly, even though most of those were unknown to me, and i enjoyed them so much, especially the very first track by Olivier Messiaen. Now I am thinking that i know nothing about electronic music, and this compilation ain't helping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazen Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Chill out guys, its just Bleep trying to sell some old stuff and make a few bob. Our aim with this selection of music is to show the length and breadth of the medium, providing a snapshot of the genres forms and styles, and the development of the artform. Whilst there are omissions and compromises that we have had to make, we hope that we achieve our aims and we do some justice to the variety of music that we love. 55 tracks for £15 aint bad and the cover art is hilarious. You really expecting them to shell out the licencing to get Kraftwerk on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Evening Knights of the IDM Table!!!!! I love how this compilations has offended so many of our Elite Force!!! Those who sup the fine wine and taste the finest bread will realise this foolhardy compilation matters much only to lowly peasents!!! I suggest we mount our steeds and force the heads of those who oppse us onto our lances. Skull by skull!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
