Twelvetrees Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 So Aphex Twin was the beginning for me and electronic music and I've loved everything I've heard, but apart from the featured artists on here I haven't been able to find much good music. It'd be cool if some of you could post the titles of a few albums you'd consider to be the best of the best, no matter the style or whatever. Thanks.

Guest Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 You're very fortunate to start on this trek for the first time!Everything by Kraftwerk, but I recommend starting with 'Radioactivity' and onward, then going back to the beginning up to 'Autobahn'.You can branch out from there to earlier and later electronic artists.

You know I've always had the belief that 90% music from most genres isn't that great. I think if you like electronic music and you like the left-field/quirky stuff, then you can't go wrong with Aphex/Autechre/BoC/Squarepusher. There's loads of other stuff of course, but what I mean is that your question is not that ridiculous as it sounds. I was the same I kind of got heavily into electronic music since hearing Aphex. Leftism by Leftfield. Chillout by KLF. Orbital. 808 State. Ambient 1 and 4 by Eno. Are my other favorites. I think you should also listen to Oxygen and Exquinox by JM Jarre and Kraftwerk. There's loads of other stuff. But I get your drift if you find a lot of other electronic music boring in comparison to Aphex etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get your drift if you find a lot of other electronic music boring in comparison to Aphex etc. I agree, most music is shit, I only like a handful of artists really, but I know there's so much good stuff out there I haven't heard yet. It's like a frickin unending quest or something, that's the fun though innit? The stuff I'm into now has followed on from BoC: VHS Head - Trademark Ribbons Of Gold Tobacco - Fucked Up Friends Tycho - Dive Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place Com Truise - Galactic Melt Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds Bonobo - Black Sands OPN - R Plus Seven Also Bibio, The Flashbulb, Jon Hopkins, Four Tet... All melodic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 vhs head - trademark ribbons of gold Definitely this! SND's Atavism is great too, but might take more time to appreciate. Alva Noto - Unitxt is another good one if you can get into the colder stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ifeelspace Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If you're hankering for more acid techno or whatever it's called check out: Trackermatte - see http://forum.watmm.com/topic/84040-trackermatte-completionist-thread/, EOD, Beatwife, Dave Monolith and Jodey Kendrick. Not going to list albums, but I do think these artists are worthy of your attention, especially if you like Analordy style tracks. edit: EODs Questionmarks EP is mind-blowingly good: https://eodtracks.bandcamp.com/album/questionmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwmbrancity Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nurse WIth Wound - - - Steven Stapleton's based in Eire,,,,,a lot of quality releases, check the new combo thingy with Krautrockers Faust & his Salt Marie Celeste lp is mint too. Richard H Kirk's gear is of such a high quality, the Sandoz stuff is some of the best electronic music ever made. Massive range too, from dark as fuck to pure blissful dubby house. Speaking of which,,,,,, Cabaret Voltaire. Voice of America through to their Hacienda classics.....not many people can cover that spectrum of sounds & maintain. Holger Czukay (sp?) ,,,,,,where do u even begin? Everything in a nutshell, especially the tracks he put out with Jah Wobble. Thats about 50 albums right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
