These fuckers can't even do ambient well, let alone a decent fucking album. Merzbow can probably make a better album than these two faggots and Merzbow isn't even an ambient electronic artist

>>73951245
Better than anything made by Aphex Twin that's for sure. A fucking chimp screeching while shoving pinecones up its ass makes better music than Aphex Twin let me tell you that.

>>73951265
a noise banjo and I think he used analog equipment for his best albums

>>73951314
Sun Harmonics

"Lifting Concrete Lightly" by MIMEO and "BART" by Thomas Lehn and Marcus Schmickler are the best electronic albums of all time. Moby, Brian Eno, Massive Attack, Aphex Twin and Jon Hopkins are horrible desu.

IDM is music for teenagers who are only starting to get into electronic music and ambient is music for housekeepers. Don't worry, if you are not a turbopleb, you will eventually grow out of Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, just like I did.

Like clockwork. Spoken like someone who's never taken the time to understand the first thing about compositinal techniques or music theory for that matter at any substantial level.

>>73951421
rekked, innit

>>73959584
>Because it's disgraceful

Why?

>>73959589
Works of some people in those lists are crucial for the development of electronic music, for the development of compositinal techniques and what music could be, not to mention acknowledged and analyzed to this day by the academia and above all - done for the right reasons. I'd give you the benefit of the doubt you know which artists I'm referring to.

>>73959609
Is ''development'' the only reason for music quality?

>>73959619
You need to watch this too for a start, as you're approaching this from the wrong angle.
>>73959576

>>73959628
I'm well aware who Stocky is and his music, you're not answering my question though as simple as it is.

>>73959634
If you're already familiar with Stockhausen's work, what's there to discuss? Some of the musicians mentioned in those lists are literal top 40 material and that's the exact opposite of making music for the right reasons. That's certainly not how development is encouraged and of course it's not the only value of a work of an artist.

>>73959666
>making music for the right reasons
Which are?

>not how development is encouraged
So you think thats the #1 most important when discerning quality?

>course it's not the only value of a work of an artist.
So why can't a contemporary electronic based album be regarded as one of the best?

>>73959576
>Spoken like someone who's never taken the time to understand the first thing about compositinal techniques or music theory

Sure I have you pleb, more than you I guarantee. You can't even spell compositional and you're trying to act enlightened. Also it's laughable that you would compare Stockhausen's work to that avant-teen bullshit you cited as the greatest electronic album of all time. Everything about your post reeks of somebody who tries to fill in their lack of a personality with "superior" music taste when they really know know fuck all.

>>73959679
Are you deliberately being dense? Making your music for the sole purpose of making profit for yourself or for the record label isn't the right reason. This implies watering your music down to the point of familiarity for audiences not really interested in music as anything more than pleasant background noise, mass appeal, less and less substance, if any. This is also a scientifically provable fact:

>So you think thats the #1 most important when discerning quality?

Responses like these makes me think you're doing it deliberately at this point.
>So why can't a contemporary electronic based album be regarded as one of the best?
Because there is no objective way of judging music on the criteria of being the "best". There are contemporary electoronic artists which are highly regarded, but those are not people topping of even making the charts.

>>73959701
>Also it's laughable that you would compare Stockhausen's work to that avant-teen bullshit you cited as the greatest electronic album of all time
Who cited what? I'm not sure you even meant to reply to me. I'm not regarding Boards of Canada, Autechre, Kanye or Aphex Twin as the greatest electronic artists of all time. And what's more, you supposedly agree with this and yet here's something completely contradictory:
>Everything about your post reeks of somebody who tries to fill in their lack of a personality with "superior" music taste when they really know know fuck all.

>>73959731
>Making your music for the sole purpose of making profit for yourself or for the record label isn't the right reason.
So what is?

>Responses like these makes me think you're doing it deliberately at this point.
Answer the question.

>Because there is no objective way of judging music on the criteria of being the "best".
>There are contemporary electoronic artists which are highly regarded
Who? Why? For what reasons?

So which is it? The ''development'' is the only important factor or how popular they are?

What is the point of development if everything it leads to is shit per your criteria? What was the point of any of it?

Because you need to listen to better music.

Anima (Mille Plateaux, 2001 - Huume, 2008) is a 61-minute electronic poem, a prime example of digital soundscaping that draws inspiration from both musique concrete and industrial music. Its structure is fundamentally the structure of a collage. There is a logic, though, in the way the collage is assembled. Delay tries consistently to maintain a grip on his listener's psyche. Melodic fragments and disjointed noises coexist and blend into each other in a sort of "call and response" format: for each languid chord there is a "choir" of tiny dissonances. The contrast creates waves of meaning. The music "talks", at times frantically. But mostly it talks in a subliminal way, through a stream of consciousness of cryptic sounds. The piece is as much a philosophical meditation as a sonic exploration.

What a shame you ended this just regurgitating Scaruffi. I thought briefly you were intelligent enough to form your own opinions.

>>73959777
>Making your music for the sole purpose of making profit for yourself or for the record label isn't the right reason.
You're supposedly familiar with the work of Stockhausen and you're trying to make me somehow equate him with Boards of Canada, Autechre, Kanye or Aphex Twin and explain why top 40 acts aren't as highly regarded? The right reasons would be: using technological advancements and experimenting with them to the point of possibly creating new genres of music (which Stockhausen and his contemporaries did), inventing new compositional techniques, collaborating with other musicians in an attempt of utilising each other's strenghts, redifining timbres, dynamics, articulation and ultimately without making your music just a product.
>What is the point of development if everything it leads to is shit per your criteria?
Stockhausen fits this as well. The development and progression you're referring to would be as if Stockhausen "progressed" to schlagers.

>>73959860
Scaruffy's opinions are the only opinions that matter.

>>73959876
>ultimately without making your music just a product
This is unachiavable in electronic music which gives preference to the recording over the score sheet unlike standard classical music. Stockhausen's releases are as much a product as everything else.

>>73959916
Stockhausen did have scores, although highly modulated, but that's really not a determining factor for treating something as art or not.

>>73959926
Electronic music in theory gives preference to sound over the recording process. Electronic music as a sphere is either highly commercial or highly outsider.

we spheres now

>>73959876
You just said "because development" again only with more words.

>>73959936
>Electronic music as a sphere is either highly commercial or highly outsider.
Exactly.

>>73959955
Are you going to continue repeating yourself and act deliberately dense? And what's wrong with development in music? In one sentence, the reason is - having something to say.

>>73959888
>Scaruffy's opinions are the only opinions that matter.
True

Dance music of the 1990s largely rejected the simple, jovial, hedonistic approach to body movement that had ruled since James Brown invented funk music in the 1960s. Disco, techno and house had simply imported new technologies (both for rhythm and arrangements) into the paradigm of funk. The 1990s continued that process, one of the most important ideas to come out of Britain was jungle or drum & bass, a syncopated, polyrhythmic and frantic variant of house, a fusion of hip-hop and techno that relied on extremely fast drum-machines, epileptic breakbeats and huge bass lines.

Few genres of popular music underwent so many changes and reached such ambitious heights as jungle did. Within a few years, jungle musicians were already composing abstract and ambient pieces, integrating breakbeats with pop vocals, adopting jazz improvisation Thanks to ever more intricate beats and to free structures borrowed from jazz, jungle music rapidly became the foundation for a new kind of avantgarde music, pursued by the most austere of the genre's visionaries

There is no best electronic album. Shit is the least difficult genre to make next to rap and dubstep. And at least for rap you have to have good lyrics or you're just a dumb coon with a microphone. Keep jerking off to people that can't make real music and rely on Apple loops.
