 Topic: Your favourite Electronic Prog albums?Posted: December 29 2021 at 10:08 |

After having appreciated Jazz-Rock and Folk-Rock, let us try Electronic Prog. It hasn't been one of my favourite sub-genres so my own list is quite modest: Edgar Froese (D) - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale (1975) Harmonia (D) - Musik Von Harmonia (1974) Heldon (F) - Electronique Guerilla (1974) Heldon - Heldon 6. Interface (1977) Michael Hoenig (D) - Departure From The Northern Wasteland (1978) Jean Michel Jarre (F) - Oxygene (1976) Czesław Niemen / N.AE. (PL) - Katharsis (1976) Tangerine Dream (D) - Stratosfear (1976) And I hope, you'll enjoy it! Edited by David_D - December 08 2023 at 09:54 |

It looks like it's time to start putting another A-Z list together. At least I won't have any trouble finding an artist for the tricky letter "V" this time.

I hope, I'm not making you too busy with all these A-Z lists, Paul.

Not at all. It's all good fun, and putting together another A-Z list is also a good way to discover artists I hadn't previously heard of.

Hi,
Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream. And then Vangelis. As far as "Electronic Prog", I can not say that I listen to one thing or another. It's all music to me and my mind!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

To me, too, but still, different kind of music, and I appreciate to listen to different kind of music.

There is so much that I love in this...category. So, I will pick two from each of my favorites to avoid too long a list.
Klaus Schulze - Mirage and X Tangerine Dream - Rubycon and Tangram Bjork - Homogenic and Vespertine Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express and The Man Machine Vangelis - Blade Runner and Heaven and Hell Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene and Equinoxe Brian Eno - Discrete Music Harold Budd and Brian Eno - Ambient 2 - The Plateaux Of Mirror Autechre * - Chiastic Slide and Exai * I don't know why these guys aren't listed on this site, but I think of them as prog. No one else has innovated like them in last couple of decades (as far as I am aware anyway). Also amazing modern electronic artists who make use of unusual textures, interesting recording techniques, odd time, etc., but perhaps a little further from being prog in my mind are BT, Aphex Twin, Plaid and Monolake. Edit...I really should have included these as well... Ryuichi Sakamoto - Left Handed Dream Redshift - Toll, Colder, Life to Come (I know that is 3, but they are all really nicely done.)

I thought about the early (first 4) TD and the first 3 or 4 (if you include Tone Float) Kraftwek, but there isn't much electronics in most of the albums. Some don't include synths or KBs at all.
I should revisit both. For decades, I (probably wrongly) lumped them in the Kraftwerl clones
yup, forgot about that one or sure

Cluster and Harmonia are well worth a revisitation I think. I don't think they sound like Kraftwerk-clones at all. Regarding
early TD & Kraftwerk - yes I know, but wanted to keep comments
short and snappy, I and didn't want it to appear like I don't enjoy the
bands earliest releases. So I just included all the years I'm most (most) fond
of. |

It's very allright, and thank you for considering my expectations. My "Electronic Prog" is a rather quirky category, so I didn't really see any point in giving a definition of it here, for not to talk about expecting others to try to follow this definition. For those interested, though, I can refer to my Prog defining article http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127835&SID=6216975ab2282e7cc89bc6f99bze40384490741

Can't believe I'm the only one (so far) to include a Ryuichi Sakamoto album! His contributions to this category, starting back with Yellow Magic Orchestra, are considerable!
(It's not all Berlin School or Ambient, people!) |

I'm really not that familiar with progressive electronic, except for maybe the odd krautrock album here and there. I'd recommend Wrath by Vayu, though. That came out earlier this year, and I really liked it a lot.
