ITT: we post god-tier electronic albums
>>65748109
bottom left album?
>>65749239
Coil - The Ape of Naples
>>65748109
Obvious choice
>>65748109
MBDTF as electronic is a bit far-fetched
>>65748109
>>65749308
thats the point of the thread m8
>>65749308
Why?
Are The Prodigy not electronic music because they have a drummer and 2 guitarists these days?
>>65749670
Isn't this album like rock?
>>65749680
it doesnt have geetars tho
>>65749308
Hip-hop is an electronic sub-genre
Fug.
>>65749764
People here hate mainstream everything, but Drink the Sea was great.
>>65749479
The Prodigy kind of sucks though
>>65749878
Besides the point.
Groove Armada are a pretty big electronic duo too, but wait, what are all those real instruments??!?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdP4AfKGr-I
>>65749308
how? every single song has extensive electronic elements
>>65749918
but his original point was about hip hop. i mean, don't you think calling hip hop electronic music is a little generous? i love them equally, but i do have them separated in my mind for pretty big, clear reasons
>>65749970
The point you numpty is there is no reason for hip hop not to be under electronic music.
Explain how hip hop isn't but The Prodigy and Groove Armada are?
>Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments and electronic music technology in its production.
>>65749854
Agreed, Drink the Sea and edIT's earlier work is super nice.
>>65749854
I think this was TGM's best album stylistically. I'm glad they branched out for LDI but they should stop pandering to the aggressive EDM crowd and take their music down a couple of notches back to genuine glitch-hop.
>>65750001
Electronic music is only EDM
>>65749878
>The Prodigy kind of sucks though
lol
Experience and Jilted Generation are classics m8
>>65749308
Hip Hop has its roots in dub music just like everything else in OPs pic.
>>65750001
It's entirely possible to make hip hop without electronic instruments.
>>65750001
i guess i just never intended to use "electronic" as broad as it really is. i can't disagree if that definition is the foundation for this argument. by that definition, yeah, i consider hip hop electronic music, but for any other purpose, i don't see them as being very connected at all, aside from the employment of a couple of pieces of specific hardware, like samplers. and by that logic, rock music is (or can be) electronic music because you have to plug amps in.
>>65750031
Yet 98% of it is electronically produced music.
>>65750066
Makes the label ''''electronic music''''' retarded, huh.
Maybe people should use actual genres like techno or house like they do with hip hop and industrial.
https://vimeo.com/39526928
I understand this is a bait thread, but just to clear up for the people who don't know
>French house
>Ambient techno
>Post-industrial
>Hip-hop
They are all electronically made, but calling them "electronic music" and lumping them into the same category is like making a thread with ITT: god-tier string albums and having a classical, progressive rock, folk rock and thrash metal album in the OP
Don't do it
>>65750089
it's ironic because i'm the type of person to always avoid saying those names, but i guess this kind of argument is why they exist in the first place, hahaha
>>65750119
kys
>>65750073
That doesn't matter. It doesn't make any sense to call it an electronic music genre if electronic instruments aren't even needed.
>>65750138
>>>/reddit/
>>65750143
8 albums in 40 years are an exception to the rule, 98% of the genre is electronic music.
Unless breakbeat and all its subs are no longer electronic music because of The Prodigy, Groove Armada and other breaks artists who make the music using drum kits and other instruments.
to all the faggots saying MBDTF is not electronic...
what genre would you consider the instrumentals to be? probably EDM
so why does vocals added over an EDM track make it not electronic any more?
damn... really makes you think...
>>65750089
This is only half the problem.
The other half is you try and have a thread about techno, breaks, trance or garage on /mu/ without /bleep/ shitposting their insecurities with spamming >hurrrrrrr albums >hurrrrrrr pardners because they think they are special as they went to Fabric once.
how is hip hop not electronic music?
>>65750233
>hip hop
>what genre would it be without vocals lol
>instrumental hip hop
>>65750287

>not made using electronic instruments

Autechre fucking blow. Like listening to Antarctica; monotonous, icy and devoid of life.
>>65750307
hello pleb
listen to this my friendo

>>65750267
I know you are joking but Burning It Down is actually very influenced by IDM, Jason Aldean cited Board of Canada as one of his biggest inspirations in an interview about the album
>>65750321
Yeah didn't do much to change my opinion.
>>65750353
that's not even enough time to listen to the whole song lmao. listen to the whole thing please. it's not very long.
>>65750279
Tons of emphasis put on the vocalists. The actual music takes a back seat since overwhelmingly it's just some basic looped sample that's not out to explore the potential of the sound itself or do anything complicated.
>>65750364
fuck off im the only aeposter in this thread. u ruined the order u fucker
>>65750367
Does that change the music production method?
Tons of trance and house empahasis on the vocals too.
I don't get why people are so against hip hop being included under electronic music anyway?
>>65750381
oh god my bad anon so sorry
>>65750402
>I don't get why people are so against hip hop being included under electronic music anyway?
pardners think electronic music is Joel, Skrillex, Avicii or the big 4 Warp artists
>>65750411
apologies accepted anon. just don't do it again
>>65750411
as punishment you must listen to the wanky part at the end of dropp2 5 times in a row
>>65750427

>>65750427

All electronically produced, all emphasizing the vocals

>>65750321
This song interests me, where do I start from here?
>>65750353
have you listened to the entirety of Rae yet anon? I can't imagine how someone can listen to that and still think it's all cold an unemotional. It is legitimately one of the most poignant love songs I've ever heard
>>65750458
Grimes and Chvrches are avant-garde, not electronica
>>65750479
Yawn. Stick to your entry level electronica. I'm miles beyond that shit dude. Never liked Autechre, never will.
>>65750434
>>65750473
tbqh not too much ae is as directly emotional as Rae. In a lot of songs there is a lot of emotion but it's hidden behind complex beats... over time and over several listens it'll start to make sense and you can pick out the deeper meaning of the tracks.
listen to this, it's another more direct track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqKOISC-kd8
here's an example of a track that I think is nearly as emotional as Rae but not nearly as direct
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXEsMMBEv7k
All of their albums are honestly fantastic, I would highly recommend going through their whole discography in order
>>65750509
what kind of electronic music do you listen to? Legit interested
>>65750518
>not the 23 minute long album version with 12 minutes of silence and then a 1-minute long bit

>>65750461
Potemkin maan!
>>65750509

Some EBM. Ministry's best album.

>The Prodigy, Groove Armada and other breaks artists who make the music using drum kits and other instruments.
I'm pretty sure they were still using electronic instruments, so that's a moot point. You can't make breakbeat music without electronic instruments. Every electronic music genre requires electronic instruments in order to be made, and I have yet to see an exception to that. In this case, you're only saying that hip hop is electronic music because a lot of it is made electronically; which mean if it wasn't, then you wouldn't consider it electronic music.
My point is that it's possible to be a hip hop artist without using a single electronic instrument. You cannot have an exception to the "rule" that completely contradicts the rule in every single way.
Like these guys a lot.

>>65750606
This is nowhere near Ministry's best
>>65750737
Maybe Land of Rape and Honey... but otherwise nothing else comes close.

I fucking love this.
>no chiastic slide
Has synths and a lot of electronically tinged instrumentation=electronic music
(I'm b8ing)
More like this?

>>65754086
Of course it is. Stop trolling.
>>65750119
this です
I think the main argument arises from the fact that electronic production has only recently gained more attention and so people view the means of creation as a way to lump disparate cultural sounds together. If you're going to use the definition that any music touched by a synth or a computer is electronic music you'd be hard pressed to find contemporary music that hasn't passed through a DAW somewhere down the line. I don't think it makes much sense to use this very literal interpretation because it's just not very useful and doesn't take into account the lineages of different genres.
>>65754753
The only reason people know the difference between hip hop but not techno, house, breaks, trance et al is because on /mu/, any nigga under 30 making music is producing hip hop (over 30 is r&b), without that they'd be screwed.
