Any reason there shouldn't be listings here for the Progressive Electronic British School artists such as Mark Shreeve, Ian Boddy and Andy Pickford?

This was very much the case by the end of the late 80s and for much of the 90s, but to a degree I think it's come full circle. Even Rick Wakeman dusted off his inventory of analog 'boards to record the two Retro albums. Guys like Ian Boddy and Mark Shreeve (together known as Arc) are still interested in pushing the envelope. Erik Norlander's modular gear gets plenty of attention, too.

RATATAT were recently announced as one of the artists of next year Big Day Out (a big music festival in Australia and New Zealand) and I'm more then likely going (Tool and Deftones will be there, so It'll be hard to find a reason not to go!) so I picked a great time to start looking into electronic. It'll be interesting to see what its like live.

Big electronic music fan here. I'm into a lot. I love Autechre, Amon Tobin, Venetian Snares, Flying Lotus, Boards of Canada and many many others. I also like a lot of old electronic music. Many artists from the Krautrock scene are of great interest to me (Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream to name a few). Lately I've been getting into glitch music. Wikipedia has a good definition of it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_(music). One glitch musician has really captivated me recently: Murcof. Check him out, just look him up on youtube and you'll find some of his music (I would recommend listening to Maiz first). It's really a great listen for anyone into ambient, IDM, or drum n bass. People who have an interest in Frank Zappa's more avant-garde, musique-concrete compositions would also love Murcof and glitch music in general. |

That album is awesome. Some of the parts actually feel like a "prog" record. Shifts and turns - infused with real solos. I love the analogue synths theyŽve got going. |

I am part of the electronic underground scene here in Copenhagen, and it is truly flourishing now. Last weekend I was at a undercover festival with all kinds of electronic music. There was a guy who played upright bass with a bow - cleverly using some sort of loop trough a pedal - always changing the pace and the melody. I have never seen anything like this - he was absolutely out of this world! I think it is safe to say that the scene is undergoing the same sorts of changes as the rock scene was back in the late sixties early seventies. But then again why shouldnŽt it?
If you are into electronic and prog - you should check out Sphongle and Infected Mushroom who incorporates real musical instruments in their music. Heavyweight by Infected is as close to prog as youŽll ever get whilst still danceable. |

Sounds like many participants in this thread might want to check out Russian band Roz Vitalis.

Hi,
Kind'a glad to read this.
My tastes have always been about "music" and they never got into "styles" since they tend to be repetitive and after a while, really boring. I like to make fun of one label, where all the bands are Zappa wannabe bands, and the only difference is that in one band, it's the guitar, in the next the saxophone, and the next a keyboard ... and the music is almost all the same ... what I like to call "the loungelizardfridaynightjazzbandmusic" at the local bar.
I have been a "follower" of the best that electronica has had to offer in the past 40 years, and I go all the way back to Beaver & Krause and Bob Moog and Terry Riley ... and have stuck with Klaus Schulze, Bryan Eno and Tangerine Dream all this time, and have even enjoyed the likes of Orb and Timeshard, and that offshoot from the Ozrics, and a few others.
I, just recently, went through a large collection of KEYBOARD magazines, and I enjoyed reading Bryan Eno's couple of interviews. But one bit caught my eyes. Bob Moog had an article about ... "where's the knobs?" ... and that one had me. He mentions that the desire to search and play with the sound was falling off ... that everyone was going for samples and were not exploring the sounds anymore ... and this is so very true, and one of the reasons why so much music in myu ear, these days, sounds "pre-fabricated" and not very original ... it has become like the bar stuff mentioned above ... nothing new ... and it all sounds the same on top of it, except that we're going to find another sub-genre for something else tomorrow or next year.
In the end, Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream and Bryan Eno, are still experimenting and twisting the knobs (if you will -- although you now can set this up with the parameters instead of flicking a knob), and creating new things ... that most are not capable of enjoying ... it has become an acquired taste and one that not everyone can handle. I thought that KS and Lisa Garrard was great ... on another board, someone trashed me for it's stupidity and the idea that groans and moans makes lyrics, or music, for that matter!
I did not enjoy Aphex Twin, for some reason ... I had this thought that the music was too regimented and afraid to step away from the beat and just fly ... Klaus tends to also depend on beats, but he also has a lot of stuff that does not have a beat. Tangerine Dream changes enough with their personel that it is hard to say ... they are still doing the same thing. Catch their Phaedra 25th Annicversary Concert and you can see how the analog then is now played today ... and still sounds lovely as ever.
The biggest issue, is that publicity and appreciation for many of these acts is minimal ... even Keyboard magazine would rather feature some bruhaha about some keyboard player in a secondary band, than even mention something about people that really deserve it. The same for all the other magazines in that grouping, including Guitar and Bass Player. It's become a sell, selll, sellll, selllll, sellllll ... for the folks they support and are involved with ... a veritable media control and show situation.
We will never see Vangelis, or Klaus Schulze in America ... and no one cares ... you know how sad this is?

I had a class on this in high school Back then the artists were Tomita,Carlos,Fast and Subotnick. The teacher did acknowledge ELP. He didn't like it though. He said that ELP wasn't true electronic music in the sense that Tomita,Carlos and Fast were.

I will not let a discussion about electronic music pass without mentioning the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and Delia Derbyshire in particular. Fearless pioneers, creating impossible new sounds decades before the first digital synths arrived on the scene.
A little more up to date, Max Tundra has done some pretty interesting and insanely catchy stuff, fusing hardcore electronic/glitch styles with pop and even avant-garde/prog elements. |

Flying Lotus is awesome... Cosmogramma is easily one of my top albums this year so far.
Another favourite of mine that isn't as well-known is Amon Tobin. He also incorporates a lot of jazz, but in a more laid-back, less spazzy way. And of course early Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, etc. are great too.

And now I guess I must ask, can we consider this music progressive at all? I mean groups like Animal Collective and The Knife are as forward-thinking as any "progressive" band out there, perhaps more so. Sorry for all the Dream Theater hate lol, but yeah I think a dude like Flying Lotus is more progressive in the sense that his music has evolved more in the 5 years he's been producing than Dream Theater's has in their entire existence.
And if odd times is what you're all about, sh*t just listen to Venetian Snares or Squarepusher and try to keep up! My buddy who's a graduate percussion student is still just blown away by how rapid and insane the time changes are! Should ProgArchives start including these guys at all? Wouldn't be the worst thing ever in my opinion...

Oh my goodness, glad to see all the fellow fans! And yeah The Knife and Fever Ray are both great. Venetian Snares is so ridiculous too lol! If anybody likes cool bleeps and bloops/classic 8-bit beats check this:
video is pretty amusing too!
