Electronic Music Recommendations

[Ender]

I just put together a list of tracks for someone to check out, and decided that I'd let everyone have a go at it. These are all electronic in some way or another (a few of them are not labeled electronic or any subgenre of electronic), so if you're into that thing, and even if you're not, give it a look.

Let me know what you think, and if you have some good music to recommend back, go for it.

#6 sounds a whole lot like Half-Life music.

I can't say that I like it...but I can't say that I dislike it either. To me it seems without context. With music like this I tend to imagine putting it in a game or movie setting as ambience more than anything.

I've got some great ones for ya, gimme a few to put em together.

Alright I found some good ones. I'm not big on calling everything under the sun "Electronica" so I will refer to sub genres by their proper names.

I have many musical interests from underground and old school hip hop, acid rap or alternative hip hop, horrorcore and such, progressive trance saha and digweed, oakenfold etc, drum and bass, dieselboy, future step, tech step ed rush and optical, neuro funk, jungle, hard house, I like System of a Down, classic rock, old school r&b, 80's pop, motown, I'm all over the place really.

In this post however I will simply post links to relevant tracks or albums I find important to their respective genres.

First of all I have to put Paul Oakenfold's Tranceport album up here. Progressive Trance at it's finest.

So many great songs on there it's hard to pick favorites but if I did it would be track 10 The Gamemaster by Lost Tribe. Other highlights include track 5 "someone like you" and track 9 "words".

It really needs to be listened to in it's mixed form from start to finish in order to truly experience it's greatness. If you just let it play from track one I believe it will play in sequencial order.

more to follow.

Here's Lost Tribe again with more progressive trance on "Angel" distant voices EP

A lot of the old school hooj choons were really great.

From Dieselboy's Dungeoun Master album (a dark drum and bass concept album mixed with D&D roleplaying which happens to be narrated by a one Peter Cullen aka Optimus Friggin Prime as the Dungeoun Master)

Guirec, that's a good point. I do have lots of memories of when I first heard these songs, could be why I enjoy them so much. That's a gateway for me into the genre, though, so I can enjoy a lot of electronic music now without having any context.

Lookin forward to it, Virtual Theory.

[Guirec730]

Might as well link up some of that Half-Life 2 sweetness.

Awesome, I'll be spending some time listening to the playlist and the rest of your songs, Virtual, but the very first track on Tranceport is one of my favorites. I have a lot of music without the track titles or any information, so it was nice to get the info for this one.

Here's a video I just put up. I've never done this before, so I'll be looking around and making more, eventually putting up the entire transitions album.

Guirec, those were some good songs, but they do seem to lack something.. It's obvious that they were written to be a soundtrack to accompany the game. There are rarely times when soundtracks can stand alone and have as much an impact as when they're listened to with the visuals.. *shrug* They still sound good though.
