Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Electronica/Dance music + Axiom speakers

I popped in a Paul Van Dyke "OUt of the Blue" CD the other night and all I can say is....holy %^&*! I've never experienced the music like this. The first song on the track was mesmerizing...hearing subliminal messages looping in the background i've never heard before..and the pads seemed to be three dimensional ballooning type of feeling..
very weird but awesome!

PVD is classified Electronica/Dance now...eshhh...I thought he was still Trance.

I hope Tiesto doesn't go that direction.

Trance, electronica/dance -- I shove all of that stuff into the "glow stick music" genre -- much to my own detriment, I'm sure.

I do too, Peter. Though I must admit I listen to a lot of it.

Check out Hybrid, Propellerheads, Bent, Fluke, and Underworld.

I really dig some of those.

Blue Man Group and Orbital, too, are great and could be classified somewhere along these lines.

Orbital can be good as well. I really dug their "hit", The Box from their Insides album.

Have you guys seen this Guide to Electronic Music (flash required)?

To throw in a plug for BMG, if you can see them, do it. It's an incredible show.

If you're in Vegas, I think that Mystere and O are better, but BMG really should be experienced.

Whatever happened to Properheads, Fluke and Underworld...excellent albums
Don't forget Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Crystal method

...and umm...crap... I forgot the name of the artist ..album name Mezzanine...where the hell did I put that CD...that would be a great CD for a Axiom HSU or SVS setup...that was bass heavy..

Saturn

Mezzanine is Massive Attack.

Propellerheads have been busy developing studio software (Reason).
Fluke is non-existant.
Underworld just released an anthology and is working on a new album.
Chems just released an anthology with 2 new songs(Get Yourself High and The Golden Path, both ace tracks)
Never liked Crytal Method.
If you like electronica, check out Erland Oye-Unrest, Kaito-Special Life, Air-Talkie Walkie, Ettienne De'Cracy-Tempovision, Royksopp-Melody AM. If you want more, just ask, I have thousands.
