Moby; now there is one guy I have never ever ever got.

Maybe it was due to him being a massive knob head ?

Eminem had him well sussed

OMD.

 

[ilikecheese]

None of them.

A year before Jarre's Oxygene catapulted the genre into the music mainstream.

Omds electricity was a great start but faded after that
John Foxx another shout
Ultravox again
Early Human League
But the winners are Kraftwork as all scousers know we heard of them first

Lovely stuff, some shades of the instrumental non-drummy bits of Shine On You Crazy Diamond & Welcome to the Machine from the previous year.

Bugger, just remembered electronic music isnt real music. All made on computers.

How's this not on the list ?



Heavily influenced Bowie's Berlin Trilogy.

Too broad to sweep, Kraftwerk went forward and took ages for influences to develop. No mention of Manuel Goettsching? Maurizio von Oswald, and, for absolute fs, Juan Atkins? Without who electronic music would have stagnated another 10 years such is his influence yet hd gets little to no acclaim, model 500, infiniti, 3mb amongst aliases, his work developed anyone from Goldie to 4 hero to the track below from fugue, a track I was actually listening to when I opened this thread. There is little chance Jeff Mills would be on that list without 'magic' juan atkins...

Few years ago I saw an Aux88 documentary made by Keith Tucker. Him and Stingray were there taking questions and the film was obviously homemade and broken as it kept freezing every 5 seconds but they just ignored it. Luckily the DJ sets made up for it..

If i'm ever stressed out this is the album that sorts it - So as you can imagine I've played a fair few times on Saturday nights.

I love me a bit of Neu! but they're rock...someone do a 70's Rock thread lol

 

[daza_1973]

Another excellent overlooked German electronic band - Formed after Neu went their separate ways...

Crossover electronic/Rock - the first side of 75' has Motorik drums and synth all over it - Fair enough he second side is
