Was it really the best electronic album of 2014 or did it only win the Grammy because it was the only electronic album people knew of in 2014?
>>53521438
deadmau5 and mat zo were of the nominees, what the actual fuck are you saying?
>>53521438
>Was it really the best electronic album of 2014
To some it was
>did it only win the Grammy because it was the only electronic album people knew of in 2014
You could argue that
I didn't realize he won that, that's pretty strange lel
Must be pretty bizarre for him
>>53521515
who the fuck is mat zo
It was neither. The grammys were a total mess because the industry is a mess.
Lee Gamble - KOCH was electronic AOTY

I kinda wish he was at the event to accept the award. Imagine everyone's reaction seeing this ultra-modest Brit-m8 walk on the stage with his long radiant light-brown hair, accepting the award with a "oh ta, thanks for this, this is pretty cool, really enjoying this tonight it's been a nice time, hey boys, dad's on't telly!"
He walks off stage and gives Yeezus a look that could kill or says "you recorded the sample wrong you numpty mong"

In fairness, I'd be pissed too. Richard offered politely to correct it for Kanye from a technical point of view, as producer to producer, and Kanye basically told him to get fucked, using the sample anyway and I think there was some issue about not paying Richard for the recording too.
>>53521686
idt his problem with it was that the sample was use poorly in the sense of songwriting, i think his problem was that it was implemented poorly and the audio was clipped

Syro was exceedingly well polished, and it was certainly one of 2014's highlights in electronic music, but I felt Xen by Arca was fresher and more interesting.
Other electronic albums of note from last year:
Andy Stott - Faith In Strangers
Ben Frost - Aurora
Brock Van Wey - Home
Call Super - Suzi Ecto
Caribou - Our Love
Clark - S/T
Ecologist - Storming Heaven
Function / Vatican Shadow - Games Have Rules
Joris Voorn - Nobody Knows
Kiasmos - S/T
Millie & Andrea - Drop the Vowels
Mr. Mitch - Parallel Memories
Objekt - Flatland
Pye Corner Audio - The Black Mill Tapes
Tobacco - Ultima II Message
Variant - Dreaming Thru Vector
Vessel - Punish Honey
Wife - What's Between
Yagya - Sleepygirls
Few if any of these have the technical mastery of Syro, but they have just as much if not more soul to me.
>>53521852
Welcome newfriend!!
>>53522131
who the hell are these artists
>>53521438
I think it very much could be. It's not too much of a stretch.
>>53521601
That really wasn't a great record. Overrated by people who don't want to like popular records.
>>53522131
Eh, not too much of a fan of solo Arca but I agree with your list.
>>53522147
dude are you kidding me?
>>53522147
C'mon, man, you have to at least know who Tobacco, Clark and Ben Frost are if you know anything about electronic music. Those are pretty prominent artists.
>>53522240
i've only heard of Aphex Twin and Clark
>>53521601
Mmmmmm that's a creamy album
>>53521515
> Deadmau5
> Mat Zo
> at all relevant in 2014/2015
C'mon, man, it's not 2008 anymore.
