Tried to listen to Force Majeure on Spotify and was given message "This album is not available in United States".  Carp!
Ended up listening to Atem instead.  Pretty good.  A lot like Zeit, which I love.

Speaking of "Majeure", I see that the band Majeure, a project of A.E. Paterra (Zombi) is not listed here.  Seems to me it should be, but I am no expert on Progressive Electronic.  Anyone else familiar with it?

Over the past year or so, I've considered recommending Murcof for addition, but I'd like some opinions before I do so. He's generally in the ambient techno vein of Biosphere, but it much more experimental and emotional.


Regardless of if I'm able to get them added, Murcof's music is excellent and I think anyone who enjoys the ambient side of progressive electronic music would surely enjoy his modern classical-influenced electronic style.

I actually haven't heard much from him, but I really enjoy Structures from Silence.

yes, I suggested him for addition. Depending on the albums, he could be compared to Tangerine Dream (here in PA), Robert Rich (here in PA) or Brian Eno (here in PA).

Steve Roach is awesome but he surprisingly isn't included in the PA database. His friend Robert Rich is though. Two great artists nonetheless.

Ashra also had released some great music.

Also, no one mentioned Steve Roach :
 
started with sequenced berlin-school electronic music, then turned towards more ambient stuff.

No one has mentioned Ashra yet, the electronic group Manuel Gottsching formed after Ash Ra Tempel (which featured Klaus Schulze) disbanded:

Logic Gate is highly recommended if you are into Berlin school electronic prog :
 
One big name of current Berlin school is Bernd Kistenmacher (the track below is a bit "old", but he is still active) :

The parallel is actually not that far off, though I hadn't made it myself before. Breezy is perhaps the best way of describing that album. You're dead on. The whole album is like that, and it genuinely feels like having a shoreline transported straight into your living-room.

If you want something akin a tad more to symphonic Steve, then you should try Zombi on for size. Their Spirit Animal is a real humdingerThumbs Up

 
I interrupted some of the other stuff on the thread I was listening to to hear this.
 
You know my tastes well, DavidApprove This is quite a gorgeous piece of music, wonderfully symphonic. It is on the Wish list".

About time too... Well, it's getting kind of late over here, but let me start out by saying that I enjoy nearly all facets of this 'genre'. Whether we're dealing with Berlin School or the cryptic almost zeuhlish French take on progressive electronic, I'm there!

I will be up in this place like salt on a tomato, but first things first: Every average Joe's gotta start somewhere, and maybe the very best way to launch yourself into these electrified lands is just like Steve did here with the most seductive Tangerine Dream. Or maybe Harald Grosskopf's classic Synthesist from 1980 will better start your journey. It sure is a magnificent album, and an 'easy' sonic snack. I mean just have a listen:


Harald obviously started out, just like Klaus Schulze did, behind the drum-kit -playing for Agitation Free and then moving on to all kinds of German Krautrock legends - also lending a helping hand on Schulze's own albums actually. Something must've kept, because when he finally decided to go solo, he did create something much in the same vein, although slightly more creamy and accessible.

Sleep tight out there! I'll be backBig smile

EDIT:
Hahah, already seen Man With Hat posting here, and bugger me if that Grosskopf 'direction' isn't the direct opposite of what this man needs.
For all you strange avant beings out there - jump straight on to this:


Just like Hugues mentioned in his brilliant review today (or yesterday?), the best way of getting the good Igor's albums, is the box set called DoncBig smile
 
I like this, nice and bright & breezy. Call me mad, but I hear traces here of whrre Tony Banks could have gone from albums such as /the /fugitive if he had chosen to do so.

I do enjoy me some noise n' grinding stuff Alan - as long as it's got some purpose to it. That clip you posted is pretty cool.

Dean: Hoenig's Wasteland never really struck a chord with me, but then again it has been collecting dust for about two years now, so I may have to re-listen. 

Funny, seeing IDM mentioned before - as I am currently on a huge The Future Sound of London kick. I love those guys.

I haven't heard his other solo album. Is it worth checking out? I think Departure is awesome.


Does anyone else besides Sheavy enjoy the gnarly industrial side of what we have on this site?

Anyway - an ex-Tangerine Dream member album I really like is Michael Hoenig's Departure from the Northern Wasteland
 
 
He released one solo album after that called Xcept One before going on to create soundtracks for film and TV. He also created some additional music for Godfrey Reggio/Philip Glass film Koyaanisqatsi.
What?
