Welcome to the machines, and to the next interactive poll!
This one is, as already announced, about all things electronic but not on PA. What that means, I've got to say, is really up to you. It just should sound mostly electronic, but if you want it can have voice or drums or guitar, samples anyway, as long as this somehow doesn't spoil the overall electronic character. There is also freedom of styles, we can have techno, ambient, avantgarde/experimental, whatever you want.

Rules are as always. You can suggest up to four (and more Wink) tracks, but ultimately you will have to nominate one that gets into the poll. In the poll vote for your three favourites, excluding your own selection. I hope Lorenzo will tolerate if I make this slower than usual; I intend to leave this open for suggestions a week or so from now and only ask something like next Wednesday for final nominations, so that we can than vote until end of the weekend in 11 days time. This may allow more of us to listen to a good part of the suggestions.

If you want, that is... I hope not too many of you love the natural stuff so much that they have no time and no heart for the synthetic, the machines and the robots. Personally I have to be very careful because there is a pile of things I could nominate. I start with just one, another showcase of one of my favourite artists who hasn't featured in any of these polls yet. Barbara Morgenstern from Berlin gets much of "Fjorden" out of her cheap notorious Farfisa organ, but that's electronic enough for me.

I'm curious what your machines produce.

I can't really explain it, but this one has grabbed me from the very first time I heard it. It's pretty pure techno, and a rather atypical track by one of these long standing progressive bands that don't count as prog with a similar standing and an even bigger discography actually than Einstuerzende Neubauten. I don't have much hope that this will be very popular around here, but anyway, Laibach need to be present in one of these polls.

Here's a sub-genre I definitely know little about, so looking forward to hearing what's offered.  I will approach this one differently, and not write first impressions, because this kind of thing, for me, is so subjective that it will have to be entirely by gut and not a lot of say about how it's constructed.  I will try to explain what sticks with me, but there probably will be entirely no logic whatsoever to it.  That being said, I do know one little tidbit from 1968.  I will enter Lothar and the Hand People's "Paul, In Love," as they were named for their theremin, Lothar. I do remember hearing this when it was first out, sisters brought it home from Boston, where they had seen them play at The Boston Tea Party. They were from the Denver area and also did a great little cover of "Machines," by Manfred Mann.

Unfortunately for the first two I can't find the individual tracks on youtube, and don;t wish to upload the myself, so I will go with the first from both of these (yes I have posted two full albums):


Egisto Macchi - "Camere anecoiche" (4:57), so start at the beginning and stop at 4.58 or so.



Klaus Morlock - "Opening Titles/Forest Chase" (5.46) Again the first track and you can see that it is 5:46.



Otherwise, listen to the track here: https://klausmorlock.bandcamp.com/album/bethanys-cradle-original-soundtrack

Don Harper - "Doctor Who Theme"



Com Truise "Data Kiss"



Giorigio Moroder - "(Theme From) Midnight Express"*



* EDIT: Since I did five (even if allowed), to save time for others, I think I will go straight to my nomination and nominate Giorigio Moroder - "(Theme From) Midnight Express" even if it is well known. Egisto Macchi is my favourite artist of those I listed, but I prefer his music as full albums.

All four of my entries are considered electronic music.  I wanted to show just how diverse this category can be which is the main reasoning behind why I chose these tracks (besides the fact that I really, really like them).

1. Infected Mushroom - "Never Ever Land"



2.  The Fireman - "Watercolour Guitars"  (extra points if you can say what very well-known musician performs under this alias)



3.  Broadcast - "The Book Lovers"  (Reposted)



4. Kruder & Dorfmeister - "Deep sh*t Pts 1 & 2"

^ "The Book Lovers" is one of my very favourite tracks. Was saving that for a themed poll as my nomination, damn.    And while we could, sorry mentioning five. I see people would rather we keep the number down even with twice the time.

Greg, Sorry about using "The Book Lovers".  If you want, I can use something different and pull that one off of my list.....

"That's okay, I just found it quite coincidental. It's not a very well-known track. I doubt that I will do another of these polls. And at least I got to do it already in this poll: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123598 Why I did not include Portishead's "Sour Times" in that poll baffles me.

Oops I guess I forgot you did it there already.  I will (regretfully) take that one down and put up something else in it's place.  I love that track too, but already knew it which is why I didn't vote for it then.

Or never saw it. No need to remove it as that was not an Interactive poll and there were few votes and respondents. I really love that song. I only discovered it over the past couple of years. Like a lot of 90s poppy music, I got into it by discovering an old very late night and adult BBC radio sketch comedy/music show called Blue Jam by Chris Morris (that inspired another pop or poppy music topic I made). I'm very happy for more people to hear it. I got into Stereolab, Broadcast, Portishead, Cardigans, more Beck, Eels and others through that 90s British radio program. A very adult-themed program. I could never imagine the CBC commissioning something like it.

I was planning to do a 90s-up art pop, Indietronica, chamber pop, baroque pop, trip-hop and more poppy music poll. I almost did that last round. So many poll ideas, so much time between turns.

Video is coming up as unavailable for me. Doesn't show what the name of the track is.

Oh no, I don't like electronics...  Or do I...?

My take on this, for the moment, and in chronological order:
First, you probably would expect something like this from me by now. And this one has a story (again). Le Corbusier was appointed by the Philips company (them again!) to supervise everything around the Philips pavilion that was to be built for the Universal Exhibition of 1958 in Brussels. He asked Iannis Xenakis (yes, the composer, but he also was an architect) to design the Philips pavilion. Edgar Varèse was to compose a piece that would accompany the images projected on the inner walls of the pavilion. This piece became...

Edgar Varèse - Poème électronique (1958):
(the images from this video were those projected inside the pavilion, with the music "projected" through some 450 loudspeakers...)



Second, yes, I dare to put up some Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Architecture and Morality (1983):



And third, more recent and I hope it is electronic enough: Simon Scott - Honeymoon (2011):

There are quite a few suggestion I already know, which never happened on previous polls. I'll start with the best band I had to reject on PA for Psych/Space Rock. I'm glad I remembered them, they have a brand new album I wasn't aware of Big smile

Excellent, maginificent work! As is his Città notte album. Didn't think of him and I wouldn't expect it to come up here, but this is wonderful music!

great song, now I'll look into this band some more. 
I think the wrong team evaluated this, maybe progressive electronic. If it was suggested for crossover, I would have said yes. Tongue
