Electronic Music?

I think a few of you will enjoy this. His best work, IMO.

A lot of that stuff gets pretty close to kitsch at times, but it's still pretty enjoyable just for letting the entire vibe soak in and bask in that kind of nostalgia.

I've also been YouTubing a lot of Mitch Murder's stuff. He's a pseudonymous Swedish musician who obsessively recreates 1980s film/TV/videogame soundtrack music, but in a completely different way than Kavinsky.

Here's some really disturbing stuff, like a meeting between Lustmord and NON at each artist's most deranged. This kind of oldschool industrial/noise is basically the only music genre I find genuinely disturbing.

check out the labels PC Music and ZOOM-LENS - both are currently putting out the best electrionic music

I found recently a band/project called Tycho. They have a new album Awake and it is good. On Youtube is very nice live performance. It is something between electronic music and post-rock, so check it out.

When mentioning plunderphonics, one has to always include The Avalanches' Since I Left You.

Genres are just names. Music we like is just that.

Artist mentioned here in this thread I like:
Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Orb, The Knife (Silent Shout is great!), Cliff Martinez, Flying Lotus, Biosphere, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michele Jarre, and Brian Eno.

I just discovered Neon Indian today, that was mentioned here. They have a fun/trippy video on YouTube: Neon Indian - Step Into the World With Your PAL198X

Electronic stuff I didn't see here that I like:
Paniq, NetSlov, Leftfield, OMFO, Coil, Daevid Allen, Amon Düül 2, Alien Sex Fiend, ISHQ, Elve, Edgar Froese, Shaolin Wooden Men, The Tsinandali Choir, Steve Hillage, 808 State, Ash Ra Tempel, Deuter, Ozric Tentacles, Telepopmusik, Robert Fripp, Emerald Web, Tom Slake, The Egg, Paul Oakenfold, Steve Roach, Twilight Circus.

As you may know, much electronic music came out of Prog groups such as Gong and King Crimson. Even early Kraftwerk had roots in Prog with the group Organisation. And Alan Parsons (known for rock) made some great electronic music back in the day.

And then you have artists like Bill Laswell, This Mortal Coil, and Dead Can Dance, Shantel, Rockin Teenage Combo, Zofka, Sigur Rós, that often blur the lines for me. And I like that!

As for what Progressive is and the like, study Wikipedia. If you don't like what you see there, change it. As it is, I would say there is clear Progressive music from each decade. Then there are new groups that copy those style that are not so progressive. Today it seems that if you play true progressive music, no one will know it's that, not until many years have passed, as fans need time to struggle in labling it. Personally, I call all this type of music I like 'Progressive & Electronic' and 'Universal Lounge'. One thing in common about it is I like it, and that's that.

I like Aphex Twin but I'd not heard this before.

I like his new remix too.
