>>69398173
Listen to Justice-Cross and the first two Daft Punk albums
skrillex, than software and then daphine oram

>>69398189

>>69398215
Boards of Canada
Autechre
Plaid
Kettel
>>69398304

>>69398173
Try this.
>>69398173
listen to grimes.
B12
Future Sound of London
Orbital
>>69398173
YOU LISTEN TO JEAN MICHEL JARRE!!!!!!!
>>69398662
Listen to Klaus Schulze instead. Either that or Steve Roach.
Tycho
justice - cross
tycho - dive
oneohtrix point never - GOD and r+7
you should like at least one of those and its not hard to explore further into them
Is there a good chart for this? Not like the ones with a bunch of albums on rows, but rather like the ones that tell you which direction to follow according to what you liked in the album you've just listened to.

plus Venetian Snares, Squarepusher, Rolando Simmons, Ceephax, EOD, uZiq, Clark, FlyLo, Trackermatte, Arca, Objekt, Pilotredsun, Phonecia, etc.
Not entry level, but most would rank these very highly:
Aphex Twin
Autechre
Oneohtrix Point Never
Sd Laika
Rolando Simmons
Arca
How do I into string music?
>>69400286
I love Pilotredsun but his music isn't patrician level yet. He's getting there.
>>69400327
good shit, all of them. what's SD laika been up to lately? I haven't heard of anything new from him lately
>>69400274
>talking about "entry-level"
>recommending tycho
are you fucking retarded
>>69400354
Ravi Shankar, Radiohead, Joanna Newsom, Fugazi, Slint, Vivaldi
>>69400369
it's true, but achievement was a really good album.
>>69400274
do you only like boring-ass music that most people listen to while studying
>>69398173
Kanye West, Nas, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Stockhausen, Schaeffer, Scooter
>>69400410
Yes, you fucking idiot, I am recommending OP entry-level music. Or could you not understand that?
>>69400286
Seconding Pilotredsun and Squarepusher.
>>69400450
Which recommendation of yours did I shoot down that made you this upset?
>>69400441
Yeah I really enjoyed it a lot but the IDM style he has isn't quite as complex or catchy as his inspirations yet. His post-Achievement stuff is weirder and moving in a nice direction I think.
I also enjoy his video editing. Old rare PRS: https://youtu.be/YpAu46UeEGw
>>69398173
The sheer huge variety that falls under that umbrella is just too much to fathom.
>>69398173
got my ticket to see Aphex Twin @field day in june
says its his first live appearance in the uk in 10 years, so looks like it might be 'live' and not a dj set
>>69400581
Thanks for sharing, this was hilarious.
>>69400388
Someone emailed him and he said he was super busy but still intends to release his next album. No one knows when.
>>69398699
jesus i wouldn't recommend him to a novice
>>69400327
the last 4 are new to me thanks
listening to Replica album, loving the blade runner vibes this is noice
>>69398173
Electronic music I like:
Aphex Twin, John Frusciante, Skrillex, Venetian Snares, my own music.
I prefer dixieland, ragtime, new orleans, prog metal, classical, and hip hop.

Finally, someone reasonable. I'd recommend Brian Eno. His music is a combination of ambient and electronic music and he's done many collaborations. Here's an electronic, progressive electronic album of his I'd recommend.

Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk
>>69401863
Yeah, there's nothing in between EDM and whatever Brian Eno is supposed to be.
This was the album that really got me into electronic music
>>69402289
I don't understand what are you trying to say.
>electronic
The fact that so many /mu/tants still use the term ''electronic music'' only tells you how far /mu/ still is from becoming a serious music board. Europeans have long recognized that their is no similarity between all the genres lumped together except for the plug attached to some of the instruments yet /mu/ still persists. Good music boards rank the highly different genres and their subgenres yet /mu/ still calls them all elelctronic. /mu/ is still blinded by rockism: it all ''sounds the same'' and the instruments have plugs (not true, by the way), therefore it must all be the same genre. Europeans grow up listening to a lot of ''electronically produced'' music of the past, other boards grow up listening to a lot of ''electronically produced'' music of the past. /mu/tants are often totally ignorant of the ''electronically produced'' music of the past or anything past rock, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that ''electronic'' is a genre.

go back to /r/electronicmusic you loser
>>69398173
there's a shitload of stuff that falls under the vague umbrella term that "electronic" is. like dozens of subgenres with subgenres within themselves and scenes. you are most likely gonna like some and dislike some others, but not "electronic" itself.
i feel like a lot of people have a tendency to recommend as a sort of "starter pack" aphex twin/boards of canada/daft punk. i really don't see the point in this because a shitload (i would say most) of the "electronic" subgenres are often single-based and i'm not entirely sure if two ambient techno releases and a synth-poppish house thing represent all the variety out there.
if you want to have a solid base with which to work and make your own way you could pick up a book like Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds. you'll easily find a pdf out there and it's a good starting point. it's biased as any story of a genre you may find and reynolds makes clear his preference and dislike for certain stuff, as well as ignoring some artists, but it covers the basis: detroit techno, chicago house, rave music, etc.
in a similar way, there's stuff like ishkur's guide to electronic music. it's a simple online guide with audios to listen to from different subgenres. i would rank it a step below the book i mention above, but may give you a quick glimpse at different styles.
or just try to get a taste of as many genres and you can and then decide. open /bleep/ and check out the youtube links. go on resident advisor and see what they are hyping now or their old lists. go on RYM and check out lists or browse by charts.
personally i think the part of learning about its history is the most rewarding but it's all up to you
>>69403533
/thread
You can't really argue against his points. All I can say about EDM and other radio friendly sub genres of music is that they're products made to be sold.
>>69400891
OPN actually once said it was his dream to score the Blade Runner sequel. Sadly, he isn't, but the guy doing it is also good at least.
rip :(
>>69403533
>>69403650
next time you're going to agree with your own post don't make it so fucking obvious
>>69403963
Sure...
I'm tryin to delve deeper into electronic music. Can I get some recs? Here are the meme albums I like:
>Autechre: garbage ep, confield, tri repetae, and lp5.
>boards of Canada: Geogaddi(One of my all time favorite albums), Music Has The Right To Children, and A few old tunes
>Aphex Twin: SAW 85-92, Surfing on Sine Waves
>Other albums: 76:14, Loop-finding-jazz-records, E2-E4
>>69403533
Luomo is on the chart twice
>>69398173
I second what all the other anons have said about the use of the term "electronic." I don't think I'm informed enough to break it all down, so I would just suggest that you find some music that utilizes some synthetic sounds that mixes with whatever your preferable genre is and then work your way in towards the electronic side of the music.
Given that I listen to Hip-Hop, my progression into Electronic music might be something like this:

look at this pleb
>>69403698
i had no idea vangelis wasn't doing the soundtrack...
Jóhannsson seams solid tho
>>69404414
I just watched Sicario and really liked the music and how it was edited to go with scenes. Same director and composer, so I'm hopeful.
>>69404199
thanks anon :D
>>69404218
It's pretty good. Just not one of my favorites. It has some seriously great tracks like foil, and Montreal though.
>>69403698
The guy doing it is just good though. Johan knows how to texture a movie but shit is his work forgettable as hell
>>69398192
THIS 100%
>>69400938
Has potential. Good sense of rhythm. Missing some arrangement cohesion though, and needs more progression and general tonality.
>>69404559
Yeah I don't think I'd listen to his stuff by itself, unlike OPN. But he knows how to work with movies and get the desired atmosphere and tension.
Justice - Cross
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Aphex Twin - Drukqs (the livelier tracks on this album)
Andy Stott - Faith In Strangers
Clark - Totems Flare
Chemical Brothers - Surrender
The Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
Pendulum - Hold Your Colour
Gesaffelstein - Aleph
Those albums would give you a pretty solid basic overview of some of the predominant styles of electronic music, ranging from dark to cheerful and from mainstream to weird
>>69404455
No problem my duderino.
>>69404218
Amber is one of their more boring records, and yet critics were all on it's dick so hard. I still don't really understand

All of those are cool. Is there some sort of general chart?
>>69398173
i got you, dawg
>>69406358

I got into electronic stuff through deadmau5. If you can into repetetive stuff then that's a great start.
>>69401484

>loooool lmao mate :o)
>>69398173

Electronic Music is a genre, you turboplebs.
The same way Jazz, Folk, Classical and Rock are genres.
>>69398173
I hope this thread is still a thing, but you have to dig around in the deepest depths of youtube to find that one beat that truly speaks to YOU, be it a mainstream tune or some hidden treasure that has 200 views, never shy away from taking influence but never stop searching.
Here's my little sliver of influence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AxflFP77ag
Happy hunting brah.
i enjoy the early electronic music: jean jeaques-perry, raymond scott, Kraftwerk, Silver Apples, and almost all Moog based albums
>>69408352
yeah im still watching
i can't respond to everyone but i want to thank everyone through this post for showing me cool accessible electronic with their own findings and stuff from charts. i usually only see threads on rap rock and kpop so i thought it would be cool to get into something a little different
also good find. i always like the mix of real instruments
Start with some downtempo, psybient if Autechre and those around that Aphex Twin territory is too cold for you at this moment.

A good way to get into electronic music is to know a few good labels and trawl through the releases for music you like; you'll find new artists etc. Labels to try:
Fax: https://www.discogs.com/label/60-Fax-49-69450464
Carpe Sonum: https://www.discogs.com/label/580929-Carpe-Sonum-Records
Source Records :https://www.discogs.com/label/1122-Source-Records-2
Hypnos: https://www.discogs.com/label/1022-Hypnos
Hearts Of Space: https://www.discogs.com/label/1759-Hearts-Of-Space
Skam: https://www.discogs.com/label/105-Skam
Neo Ouija: https://www.discogs.com/label/166-Neo-Ouija
Psy-Harmonics: https://www.discogs.com/label/5557-Psy-Harmonics
em:t: https://www.discogs.com/label/931-emt
Leaf: https://www.discogs.com/label/202-Leaf
Plague Recordings: https://www.discogs.com/label/72014-Plague-Recordings
Psychonavigation Records: https://www.discogs.com/label/6212-Psychonavigation-Records
You'll find some fantastic electronic on these labels but Fax is the best imo - check out that one first.
