Can anyone reccomend some new MELODIC electronica?

Nothing too repeditive or has sections that don't change for more than 40 seconds. Maybe I'm ADD, but that stuff bores me - something with some pop sensiblities. I'm just trying to broden my horizons here a bit, folks. Thanks.

steady on, old chap.

Slightly randomly, Radio Slave's 'Bang Bang'.

How new does it have to be?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Not that new - I'm a pop dude, so chances are I would have missed out anyway. I'll check out Radio Slave - thanks!

― darin (darin), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Something along these lines, maybe?

Real poppy stuff for the most part.

'Give it Away' - Luomo & Raz O'Hara
'Frei/Hot Love' (Justus Köhncke Remix) - Freiland
'Who Pays The Bill' - Ada

'My Week Beats Your Year' - Telefon Tel Aviv
'Ice Skating Girl (Linus Loves Remix)' - Rekindle
'All The Above' - Dani Siciliano

That Radio Slave is actually a lot more loopy that I thought - my other suggestions are probably better.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Nice! Me likey what I'm hearing so far (Radio Slave & the Little Cat stuff).

― darin (darin), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

My brain is exploding trying to figure out if Mylo counts. Probably not.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Plaid - Not For Threes
Nobukazu Takemura - Sign
Schneider TM - Zoomer
Dykehouse - Midrange
µ-Ziq - Lunatic Harness

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, cool.

Thing is, a lot of tracks are melodic but also kind of repetitive. Mylo might come under that. Try 'Wolves Of Miami' though - it's great.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

If we're going back a bit like that, then yeah: Schneider TM seconded, plus Ellen Allien Berlinette, plus, hell, you'd probably like Royksopp's Melody A.M.. Also Justus Kohncke's Doppelleben.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Try Team Doyobi or Datach'i. Also Ddamage, although I'm not sure if they fit the "electronica" tag.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

And you should absolutely get Superpitcher's 'The Long Way'.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

some more not quite new:
Postal Service - Give Up
Max Tundra - Mastered by Guy at the Exchange
Nathan Michel - Dear Bicycle

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

These suggestions are great. Also - if anyone has any stand out tracks they can recommend, that would be cool too. I'm going to make a mix to listen to over the weekend.

― darin (darin), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh - all mine are tracks not albums. I don't know how obvious to get. The revival of the 'Rippin Kittin' thread reminds me how great that is.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Get Royksopp's 'Remind Me (Someone Else's Mix)'

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Ladytron's 'Discotraxx'?

What with that and the Miss Kittin I suddenly have a ridiculous nostalgia the electroclash scene I never really knew.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Gotcha.

Thanks again everyone. New music=happy Darin

― darin (darin), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Arovane - Lilies, is incredibly melodic, and smoothly un-repetitive too. I'm not sure if it's 'pop' enough though.

Anything by Barbara Morgenstern would be a good bet, and I can't not second the Ellen Allien suggestion even though I'd have considered that more 'techno' it's definitely catchy enough to work as pop too.

Mouse On Mars - Rost Pocks. Definitely electronica, cheery, tuneful, pop and very much inventive and always changing throughout their tracks. That would be my pick if you haven't ever heard them.

― lurking but not, Friday, 28 January 2005 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

The only Barbara Morgenstern track I have is 'Nichts Und Niemand' and it's very nice.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:12 (twenty-one years ago)

If we're recommending Ellen Allien, then I have to recommend The Modernist too. It might be more minimal than you want, but the melodies are extremely catchy. If you're seeking out the "Hot Love" remix on Kompakt 100 then you should hear The Modernist's remix of Justus Koencke on the same comp.

I'll second Lurking's Mouse on Mars recommendation.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

That modernist/koencke remix is my favorite on the album i think

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Ulrich Schnauss, more melodies than you shake a stick at.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

that psapp record on leaf is melodic. it wasn't quite what I thought it would be like (it's a lot like Lali Puna) but you might like it.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Annie!

(This thread title is insulting, etc, blah blah blah)

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I tried getting into Lali Puna a few years back and failed miserably, but I'll add psapp to my list nontheless.

Sorry if the thread title is insulting. I know all music is melodic, but just didn't want too many droney suggestions.

― darin (darin), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Can't go wrong with anything by Zero 7. "Warm Sound" might be might favorite track.

― Flash (cowboytrance), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Currently loving:

Max Tundra
Cut Copy
Mouse On Mars
Nathan Michel
The Knife
Dani Siciliano

― darin (darin), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Excellent!

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

The last Bis album "Return to Central" is pretty melodic and poppy and electronic.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 28 January 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

TIED + TICKLED TRIO - Observing Systems. Okay, there are lots of woodwinds and live instruments involved, but it has definite electronic touches and feel, and it's sooooo melodic and awesome (its some guys from the Notwist btw).

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 28 January 2005 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

That is excellent. I'm not sure it's possible to not-love Max Tundra.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 28 January 2005 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

'nichts muss'!

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 28 January 2005 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

second the tied and tickled and add Ms. John Soda-some of the same folks.

― jergins, Friday, 28 January 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

National Bank!

― miss chievous grin (miss chevious grin), Friday, 28 January 2005 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

'Fjorden'!

― lurking but not, Friday, 28 January 2005 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

'Vermona ET 6-1'

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 28 January 2005 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

the last remote viedwer mini-lp 'you're gonna love our defeatist attitude' and the boats cd.

― keith m (keithmcl), Saturday, 29 January 2005 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Ulrich Schnauss is a great suggestion. Beautiful stuff.

― Wookie Rookie, Saturday, 29 January 2005 01:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow! Been 'out- Schnaussed' . Twice!

I've only heard three tracks , all very melodic.

Thanks for reminding me to actually get my hands on an album. Any particular recommendations would be appreciated.

Fila Brazillia were once very melodic. The two Fila guys are sound sound blokes btw and big Hull City fans. I just find it hard talking to them about their recent output and concentrate on football.

Ochre - Midsummer Nice Dream (Toytronic)

― Ludo (Ludo), Saturday, 29 January 2005 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

'Close Your Eyes' off the new Chemical Bros record is quite pleasant.

― Mil (Mil), Saturday, 29 January 2005 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

Ochre - Lemodie

Beautiful!

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 20 July 2006 01:47 (nineteen years ago)

I highly recommend Etienne de Crecy's new songs "Fuck," "Suck," and "Luck."

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 20 July 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

the new union of knives album fits this bill perfectly. i'm just off to see if there's a thread about them. i may be some time.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 21 July 2006 22:55 (nineteen years ago)

there isn't. one day there will be, but until then here's a link. the EP didn't do much for me, but really: the album is quite, quite wonderful.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 22 July 2006 08:56 (nineteen years ago)

animal collective is melodic as fuq

― held tony (held tony), Saturday, 22 July 2006 09:54 (nineteen years ago)

Unless I've been listening to the wrong albums, I wouldn't classify Animal Collective as electronica.

― darin (darin), Saturday, 22 July 2006 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

tracks in particular -

I am not a gun - ulrich schnauss remix (cant remember track name)

Hiem - Zombie Party

Aphex Twin - Xtal

Slag boom van loon - Poppy seed -Boards of Canada

matais aguayo - so in love

isan - cubillo 44

― sim (simbo), Saturday, 22 July 2006 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

― sim (simbo), Saturday, 22 July 2006 18:10 (nineteen years ago)
