Aww, no electronica guys here? Am I the only one? Anyway, here's some tunes I like. You probably won't have heard of 'em
-> Xtal - Aphex Twin
This is one of the best pieces of ambient techno ever, if you ask me, and one of the only songs that I want more of by the end. It's serenity is just epic, sounds like it came from another planet. Wicked.
-> Shadows - Wagon Christ
A very simply produced song. A basic hip hop beat, a string sample lifted from a james bond movie, and a etheral female vocal and an acid synth line... adds up to a song that is way more than the sum of it's parts. Lovely, etheral and haunting, really takes you to another place. I love **** like this.
-> Girl/Boy Song - Aphex Twin
This song has some incredible beats. Like, really insane beats, especially considering it's age. Back when this song was recorded (1995/6) computer production tools were way more rudemintary than they are now (I know having used them), so how he managed to put together such an insane and constantly evolving breakbeat is beyond me. An incredibly inovative track for its' time, yet still very melodic and nice. Top notch
->Moth - Burial and Four Tet
Utterly hypnotic, really relaxing. A very simple track, revolving around a single spacey chord progression, it's another song that I feel ends up as way more than the sum of its parts.
->5.9.78 - Boards of Canada
I can't believe they never officialy released this, it's lovely. Has a really lush, warm sound to it, totally relaxing.
... Yeah, I could go on all day, haha, I love music. I rather doubt any of you chaps will know any of these songs anyway!
