Progressive Electronic music?

Ancient civilisations? Yep, I can dig it. Atem though feels African and Pyramid like to me.

I hope that one day this often overshadowed field of sound, gets treated the way it should. I hear Mozart and Chopin in TD. Then again, I hear something completely unique....like taking trips to the outskirts of the solar system.
I've been listening to Rubycon this morning

Or that it can't have the same moods as it did then ... and that means it comes off like music history can not have its own personality, or repeated later.   It can, and it will continue to do so!   I also have an issue with "surreal and impressionistic soundscapes..." which is like saying that you are not allowed to have an imagination and not tell the story of Carmen or Turandot in the conventional way with dialogue so you can understand the story that is being told.   Phaedra, by TD, thus, is just an impressionistic soundscape ... which might have been just a title, when the whole thing is just an act of love (if we can say that), all the way to an orgasm, but saying that is surreal, and impressionistic because you can't experience it?   BIZARRE!

Very much in the vein of Ashra - hell it's more or less the same, after all he was the only musician in both of these constellations. I'd also strongly suggest you check out his collab with Michael Hoenig entitled Early Water. Very guitar dominated as per usual with Manuel.  What else? Hmm do you know Harmonia? German electronic outfit that infused a lot of guitar into their pieces.  Maybe also check out some French electronic. Heldon's Stand By, Põle - Rizet, Pascal Comelade - Fluence are all albums I'd recommend to folks who dig a little guitar twang with their bip bips. Oh and where the hell are my manners... Welcome to the site! I hope you'll stick around - maybe meet some of our much beloved music maniacs. Thanks.I will check them.Is there any guitar featured album by Schulze?
