I don't even know what trip-hop is. But I can imagine.


Electronic-related.


Rico, being the electronic master that you are [not really]...could you recommend me some "active" electronic albums, like Eno's Another Green World?


Hm. I always appreciated AGW as the third album of a chain of early art rock albums (Warm Jets - Tiger Mountain), while obviously merging most with electronic. I focused more on his "passive" albums, though, meaning the pure ambient endeavors.

One of the rare returns to a mix of light electronic, vocals, rhythmics and games was an album already mentioned a page or two ago - his album with David Byrne, from 1981, My Bush In The Life Of Ghosts.

It's a bit harder for me to recommend something else outside Eno's bookmark. Mainly because I'm not that familiar. Embarrassed




Right. But if we take out the Eno-facor. More active electronic albums? Not like AGW, but in general.

What are you expecting to hear when you say "active" electronic?

More than long-winded ambient soundscapes repeated ad infinitum. Electronic mainly, but with strong influences from other subs. Rhythms. Melodies.

Well, repetition is part of electronic, I can't recommend you something evading that.

But, if what you don't want is the drowning effect of slow, relentless sound whirpools, then perhaps these will animate things properly:

Tangerine Dream's Cyclone (sequences, rock & vocals) and/or Exit (no epics, dynamic, light-experimental).
Ashra's Sauce Hollandaise (very interesting and spicy jam-sequential electro-rock concert, although made out entirely of epics)
Wahnfried's Time Actor (vocals, rhythms, melody-shaped various acts, just not a saucerful of flavours)

Two "cheating" further suggestions imply only an electronic ingredient inside works of a different nature or caliber, so not electronic music per se. From post-rock, Magyar Posse always created a surround of electronic extensions, and they're music is quite active. From the art-rock/pop/experimental/light-avant or whatever you want to call it, there's Laurie Anderson with, let's say, Big Science. Enjoyable, full of various frames, and perhaps a certain place for "rhyhtmes. melodies" combined.

Nice. Thanks for the recommendations.

My top albums of 2009 so far:

1. Jean Louis - Jean Louis
2. Peter Hammill - Thin Air
3. maudlin of the Well - Part the Second
4. Indukti - Idmen

I still have a lot to listen to though.  Some I expect will overtake places 3 and 4 and maybe even 2, if they're that good.

We still have to hear the new Gong album and the new PT album...I'm not going to make my top album of 2009 list until 2032 comes around.

I suspect Fear Draws Misfortune will leap into 2nd or 3rd.  I've yet to hear it though, of course.

Idmen may even leap above Part the Second yet... not sure.  I also want to check the new Riverside.

Also, has nobody mentioned the new Arjen Lucassen project yet?  That's due out this year too.

Riverside's pretty good, but I need to hear it more. My thoughts on PtS have already been made well-known here, and Lucassen's new project (Guilt Machine is the name I believe) comes out the last day of August in Europe.

Oh, Wikipedia says...

It will be released on August 28 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, on August 31 in the rest of Europe, with dates for the US and Japan still pending.

Well that's just hogwash. Ouch

I don't know if Ayreon would do anything for me anymore, given that I haven't listened to them since around the time their latest album came out. I imagine I'll go back and listen to them again eventually.
