I've read a great deal of debate about overrated electronica albums. What are ten that you feel are truly essential?

If "electronica" means post mid-eighties electronic music, then my answer'd be:

Ultramarine: Every Man and Woman Is a Star
Air Liquide: Nephology
The Prodigy: Music for the Jilted Generation
Paperclip People: The Secret Tapes of Dr. Eich
Omni Trio: Haunted Science
Mouse on Mars: Autoditacker

Recloose: Cardiology
Luomo: The Present Lover

For the best example of William Orbit's production you should pick Strange Cargo III, it's great.

― Erock Lazron (Erock Zombie), Sunday, 8 October 2006 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

I agree that the original post was kinda condescending, can you imagine someone saying "I've read a great deal of debate about overrated rock albums, can you recommend ten good ones"?

"Electronica" is a silly word, but I think there should be some way of making a difference between the current boom of electronic music that started with house, techno and electro, and the (generally more artsy) electronic music that was made before, because there is a clear historical transition there.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 8 October 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

A few classics, plus some newer stuff:

Jeff Mills - Live at Liquid Room
Frankie Bones - Computer Controlled
Junglized comp.
Richie Hawtin - Transitions
Dieselboy - Dungeonmaster's Guide
Adam X - Wax Trax mix
Herbie Hancock - Sextant
The Knife - Silent Shout
Monolake - live set from his website
Belbury Poly - The Willows

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Sunday, 8 October 2006 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

I will add:

Prodigy - Experience
Squarepusher - Go Plastic
Kruder & Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

― chap who would dare to contain two ingredients. Tea and bags. (chap), Sunday, 8 October 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

If it seemed condescending, I posted it for the simple reason that I read two threads about "electronica" (perhaps a silly word, but most names for music categories are pretty silly: jazz originally referred to sexual behavior) that were previously posted here. One thread was a list of the top 50 (or so) most overrated electronica albums and the other was about electronica albums that aren't overrated. The two lists had a LOT of the same albums on them. It made me wonder if people were simply shouting out albums without seriously considering how merited they are. So, I felt by asking people what their absolute favorites were, I'd get a more concise idea of what electronica fans REALLY consider to be excellent.

― Colin Carr (music is pretty cool), Sunday, 8 October 2006 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

p.s. I've also heard a distressing amount of debate about categories used to define this kind of music. So, I'll leave it to you to decide what is and isn't electronica.

― Colin Carr (music is pretty cool), Sunday, 8 October 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'm currently debating with myself whether NIN are elctronica. I'm leaning towards no.

I think you'll find this true with any genre.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 8 October 2006 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

Not as much so. For the simple reason that electronica hasn't been around as, say, rock. Generally, when lists of overrated rock albums are made, the victims listed are pretty mainstream: albums by U2, Nirvana, Sex Pistols, R.E.M., Queen, Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, the Police, Tool--so on. Since rock has found its way into the mainstream more successfully than electronica (so far anyway), there are more mainstream albums to scapegoat when discussing rock. Since electronica doesn't have AS many mainstream albums, this isn't an option. So, the overrated list last was filled with more experimental albums--the kind of renowned albums that--if it were a rock album--would usually be safe from the rock appreciator’s scorn.

I was under the impression that 'electronica' referred to electronic music for non-fans. Perhaps that's the root of all this confusion? It's sort of the post-rave "classical music for people who hate classical music."

Not, of course, to say that those aren't parameters that enclose a canon (see upthread)...

― chris plus plus (chris++), Sunday, 8 October 2006 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

The stuff they call a different name every time someone tweaks it a tiny bit. You know, electronica.

― Butt Dickass (Dick Butkus), Sunday, 8 October 2006 22:44 (nineteen years ago)

I'm currently debating with myself whether NIN are elctronica. I'm leaning towards no.

As far as I can tell, that shit was called industrial or alternative industrial or maybe alternametal.

― Butt Dickass (Dick Butkus), Sunday, 8 October 2006 22:47 (nineteen years ago)

minerva estassi: yes.

NIN is industrial. popular industrial, but industrial.

― Butt Dickass (Dick Butkus), Sunday, 8 October 2006 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

I'll stop saying electronica when you come up with an alternative.

― Colin Carr (music is pretty cool), Sunday, 8 October 2006 22:53 (nineteen years ago)

"I was under the impression that 'electronica' referred to electronic music for non-fans."
That's interesting. Do you think there are any inherent characteristics that separate electronica from electronic music? I think its necessary to think of some because, if you go by the "electronic music for non-fans" description, then that could simply mean any electronic music that you don't like.

― Colin Carr (music is pretty cool), Sunday, 8 October 2006 23:00 (nineteen years ago)

I'll stop saying electronica when you come up with an alternative.

Say, I know! How about "alternative?"

― Butt Dickass (Dick Butkus), Sunday, 8 October 2006 23:05 (nineteen years ago)

here's your alternative: electronic music.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Sunday, 8 October 2006 23:09 (nineteen years ago)

Well, I'm not sure what's acceptable as a response, but I like:

Boards of Canada, Royksopp, Lemon Jelly, Air, Daft Punk, and Avalanches. All pretty mellow and I think most people got sick of all these bands almost immediately, but I still like them.

And if DJ stuff is acceptable, then I also really like DJ Shadow, El Stew, Valis II, DJ Spooky, DJ P, Felix Da Housecat, DJ Z-Trip & Radar, DJ Q-Bert... I have this weird bunch of stuff from Ovenguard and Bran Flakes that I don't really know what it is, but I like it.

― Butt Dickass (Dick Butkus), Sunday, 8 October 2006 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

here's your alternative: electronic music.

Is that somehow better? I don't understand the problem here. I don't disagree, either. I like simplistic loose genres like "rock" so "electronic" is fine by me. Just didn't realize it was such an issue. Is there a problem with "electro-clash," then?

Butt, I dunno but the word 'electronica' has some dork connotation from when the Chemical Brothers, the Crystal Method (this act's marketing people should be given a gold medal -) and Moby etc got pushed as 'the next big thing' by the usual lamers in the mid-nineties and their sticky fingers left bad connotations on the word. i think.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Sunday, 8 October 2006 23:30 (nineteen years ago)

A few of my friends who claim they love "Electronica" are talking about DJ Tiesto, Paul Van Dyke, Paul Oakenfold, shit like that. At the same time, I'm with Good Dog just above. To a lot of people "electronica" means mid-90s radio dance music with minimal vocals.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Sunday, 8 October 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

I try to avoid using "electronica" because I don't want people thinking I'm a fan of Tiesto or Big Beat.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Sunday, 8 October 2006 23:43 (nineteen years ago)

That's interesting. Do you think there are any inherent characteristics that separate electronica from electronic music? I think its necessary to think of some because, if you go by the "electronic music for non-fans" description, then that could simply mean any electronic music that you don't like.

All I was getting at is that there are a virtually unlimited number of ways to describe the spaces we call "genres." The politics surrounding the use of the term 'electronica' have always seemed to me to be a classic example of the formula "x for people who hate x" - a device the popularity of which certainly invites consideration at greater length.

Of course, that's only one possible formula. The whole thing that I find interesting about the ways we categorize cultural production is that there can't really be any totalizing theory of "genre," only a cloud of smaller, overlapping ones.

Here's one of my favorites: "x is what I imagine y must sound like to people who like y." I've always loved the subtle differences between that one and "x is what y would have to sound like in order for me to like it."

Sorry, I need a nap.

In no particular order:

Donna Summer - Walk Away: 1977-1980 (1980)
Daft Punk - Discovery (2001)
Renegade Soundwave - Soundclash (1989)
Meat Beat Manifesto - Storm The Studio (1989)
Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft - Alles Ist Gut (1981)
Kraftwerk - The Man * Machine (1978)
Sientific American - Saints Of Infinity/Simulated D.I.Y. (2000)
Land Of The Loops - Bundle Of Joy (1996)
Steve Fisk - 448 Deathless Days (1987)
Todd Terry - To The Batmobile Let's Go (1988)

There are tons more electronic artists, outside abtract composers, who have put out excellent material, but never seemed to assemble them into a solid album or best-of for me... although excellent moments. (There are lots of solid albums by abstract electronic composers I could have listed, but I'm guessing that, colloquially, "electronica" implies that it's more a pop-rock thing.)

See, this is why I think the distinction "electronica" is good. Meat Beat Manifesto, Renegade Soundwave and Donna Summer are way different, imo, and if I listened to it expecting to hear electronica, I would be very disappointed.

What about the glitchier stuff then, it's not as twingly-twangly as, say the Postal Service but you can't call it electroclash because then New Yorkers get all irate about it being a festival and not a movement. *yawn* This is not 10, mostly because counting is too much of a chore :(

Well, if you get the word out and start a genre, it wouldn't be stupid if people referred to your acoustic sound as "acoustica" now, would it? For instance, there were a few 90s numetal-sounding (to me) type acoustic hits which if called "acoustica" would have been happily adopted.

keywords there: "I think." Not sure why they called it that. But, they did. ;-)

I like the reversal of implication here. He has turned rather quickly into a troll-like character, hasn't he? Meanwhile, here I am, naked as a jay bird finding his thought process quite illogical.

I'm just hoping enough meandering bullshit will bring the thunder down upon this horrible thread.

People, people! Listen to yourselves! How can you possibly not see the irony in such statements. There is a reason the term "music geek" exists. And it is not because it means your secretly cool. What next? You will correct me about episode 12 of Battlestar Galactica?

minimal's been sort of stupid for a while now, right?

you can't call it electroclash because then New Yorkers get all irate about it being a festival and not a movement

if by "New Yorkers" you mean, Larry Tee...sure. In defense of New Yorkers, we love electro-clash, and miss the days when Missy Queen was played every night.
