Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments and electronic music technology in its production, an electronic musician being a musician who composes and/or performs such music

Wow that RA list is actually really good. Gesloten Cirkel in top 3 fuck yeah.

>>52173538
I agree
It's got soul

>>52173559
I agree actually. It's wonderful. Pokes fun at itself but also has substance.

now let's not be shitty or contrarian

It's my favourite album of the year so far, any genre. There are still some I intend to check out though. Probably a lot more once people start publishing their "best of the year" lists.

I don't think talking about "electronic music" is relevant if you're going to include genres that can exist without electronic sounds, or genres that are not predominantly electronic but can still include electronic sounds. That would cover most of popular music nowadays.

Actually "electronic music" is so broad I almost never use the word; when I do, I usually mean techno, house, breakbeat, IDM (yeah I know, "IDM is not a genre", whatever) and maybe one or two other genres I'm forgetting now, but not hip hop or industrial.

The Prodigy with no electronic sounds at all wouldn't be the same band.

>>52173538

it's a good album, very musical, doesn't take itself very seriously but is immaculately made.
