Hi Petra, you're about as infrequent a visitor as I am these days - nice to see you.

I love Fourtet - Rounds is one of the most interesting electronic records of the last few years, a very cool mix of styles and vibes. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for interesting and very listening electronic music that isn't just a 4 to the floor yawnfest

Boards of Canada so some good things ref 'Music has the right to children' and 'Twoism'

I've always though Underworld had some spacey prog elements but mostly on their 'Second Toughest in the Infants' album.

Hi Arcer!

Oooh i love Boards of Canada but Geogaddi I think the better album.

I was listening to Four Tet's album Dialogue last night, thats an album worth investing in, i like the way Four Tet (Kieran Hebdon)  incorporate live instruments with electronica.

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you

He's actually right - He's obviously a Tangerine Dream fan, and obviously the bands which I posted are entirely different from TD. And since bands like TD are normally described as Progressive Electronic music, he has a point. That's why I included the word "modern" ...

I love Chroma Key ... I'd call it Space Rock. Check out this spacy De-Phazz song called Free Drift:

what the hell is a real-audio.ram file? What king of program do I need to play it... and why is it only about 40 or 50kb?

You'll need the RealOne media player - RAM means RealAudioMedia and is used for RealOne player streams.

David Holmes latest album is called "David Holmes presents the Free Association". Free Association is a term that really describes his music very well.

Nice! I recognize one of these samples from an Orb tune.

ok, now I'm more impressed. 

Impressed enough to want a hi-fi recording of it.

*sigh*

My Amazon wish list thanks you.

Speaking of impeccable sonic mastery, I'd recommend both Ott and Infected Mushroom, if you've never heard them.  Ott's apparently a good friend of Simon Postford (of Hallucinogen and Shpongle fame), and has written some mindblowing dub...

Ott - Blumenkraft

Infected Mushroom is Israel's premier psychedelic/Goa trance artists. Simply mindbending stuff.

Infected Mushroom

I'd recommend "Classical Mushroom" as an intro.

Hey, yeah... wait just a minute! This post had nothing to do with Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, or Dream Theater! Mike must be banned immediately!

Da Phazz didn't do much for me... I've heard much more interesting dub-y stuff (usually coming from Ozric Tentacles!)

Squarepusher is great stuff too!

De Phazz have the most overwhelming sound quality that I ever heard - unfortunately you can't hear that through the low-fi samples. They are for electronic music what Ayreon is for prog metal ... I'll see if I can find a better sample.

Thanks Petra - La Dolce Vita is not Prog Rock of course, but it's innovative. Come Get It, I Got It is another great Holmes album - 60s/70s american music remixed and lots of strange recordings of people's conversations thrown in.
