I used to LOVE Journey to the Center of the Earth! I don't think it fits this genre though!

Nitzer Ebb...all I remember from them is a song (don't know the title) but it goes something like:
Guns, Guns, Guns Guns
Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold
Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire
Muscle and Hate, Muscle and Hate
And so on, repeating different things. I'm sure I could find the title online, but someone probably knows what I am refering to.

I would say that those albums fit in more along the lines of progressive rock, maybe?

Some more really great bands mentioned here... I do like Kraftwerk actually (I see Yahoo Music has Minimum-Maximum so I'll have to check it out). I am a HUGE New Order fan, Duran Duran was my favorite band growing up in the 80's. I also like Depeche Mode quite a bit.
Some other cool more mellow bands I like:
Theivery Corp, De-Phazz, Groove Armada, Hooverphonic, Orb, Underworld, William Orbit.
More upbeat ones I love would be:
Paul Oakenfold, Armin Van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, PPK, Sascha, Fluke, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Leftfield, Moby.
hmmm, maybe I should make a disk

Did anyone recieve their disc this week, or am I the only one? Thanks again Mary for taking the time to send these out to us. I got mine in the mail Thursday and popped it in the pc for a listen. I would have to say that I liked most of the material from the get go. The bonus disc took a few rounds to warm up to. But I really dig the disc with the 12 tracks on it.
Track 3 Squarepusher- Is probably my fav so far. This is the style that I like the most. I can't describe what it is, but like it. This one I crank up the volume and let er rip.
Track 5 Aphex Twin - This one wants to make me meditate in a thick cloud of stuff. Although only a couple minutes in length, it is a nice breakup from the wildy insane, tripped up track 4, which somehow carries a nice tune if you give it a chance.
Track 6 U-Ziq - I can't figure this one out. It seems as though the high frequencies are distorted? Washed out perhaps? Not sure. Maybe it sounds this way? The beats are pretty sweet though.
That's all for now. I won't comment on the rest yet. Have to give them more listening time. Btw I used my 750's for critical listening, not the pc.
What do you guys/gals use to rip your cd's? Windows media? EAC?

Hi Michael! I'm glad that you liked the disc! The Squarepusher and Ahpex Twin tracks are relatively mild sounding compared to a lot of their other stuff, but they remain my favorites from the bands. But Aphex Twin also puts out some really great ambient material as well.
The U-Ziq (or Mu-ziq as it's sometimes known) was probably not meant to sound distored at first, but I think it wasn't corrected on purpose because it kind of fits the song.
Oh, and the bonus track...you really have to have a lot of patience to listen to the whole thing. It's kind of like a soundtrack. I find it's a great song to sit back and listen to in the dark. What did you think about Goldfrapp? Alison's voice is gorgeous in my opinion. However, Goldfrapp's style since then has drastically changed. It's not as moody, but more electro-glam like. It's great stuff though! They've become one of my favorite bands.
Well, if everyone likes the disc enough, I may have to do a Vol.2! I've always enjoyed making music mixes for people, but most of them find the music too bizarre.
Oh, BTW...I use EAC (Exact Audio Copy) to rip tracks or entire cd and also to burn.

I use EAC and Nero when I'm lazy.

Just got the disc today. Haven't listened yet, but the track listing looks great! Lot's of stuff I already know, and a good chunk I don't, but suspect I'll love!
Thanks!
