Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Electronica disc is done...

I absolutely love Juno, Aphex, and Orbital (yes I have em ). If I put together a list it would probably have some Utah Saints, Basic Pleasure Model (or Pyskosonik )... could go on forever but in the meantime anyone not familar with Delerium check this one out (Terra firma). It's a great song and fun for your subs.

thanks for the samples. interesting music. I prefer techno/electronic with female vocals mixed in. One of my favorite is one of the song from "hackers" movie and another one was in "Nip Tuck".

I checked out delerium website, i like their work. It seems they are offering their website domain name for 5K.

An electronic industrial CD sounds good to me if one gets made. I just saw NIN in Atlantic City last night. Great show, but I couldn't figure out why my calves were hurting at first today. I realized it was from being crushed up against the front of GA (I was in the second row in front of Trent) and having to push back to try to give myself some room. I was drenched by the time I got out of there, but it appears that it was a good workout.

I love Industrial too... NIN, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, VNV Nation, Sister Machine Gun. Basically anything they play on Digital Gunfire

I'm completely in love with the 5.1 mix of The Downward Spiral and With Teeth. I believe I heard Pretty Hate Machine is getting remastered too.

I never thought I'd find another "audiophile" who mentioned Skinny Puppy in a thread. They are my favorite band of all-time. I've got to see some great IDM/Industrial bands the last year or so. I've seen Plaid, Skinny Puppy, Thrill Kill Kult, Front 242, Biaxial Creep, Not Breathing, Meat Beat Manifesto and I'm going to see Ladytron this April.

Some great bands mentioned there. I have a good friend who also loves to go to concerts like that (and Skinny Puppy is his fav band of all time). I admit I haven't seen a lot of those bands but I hear from him that they are usually great shows.

As far as being an "audiophile" and loving Electronic styled music, I have to say a lot of it really does sound great on good speakers (some not so much unfortunately ). Being that most of the music is "programed" vs "played" I've found that Electronic music loves to be listened to in surround (DTS:NEO, DPLII, Logic7, etc) more so then traditional styled music. Makes me feel like I'm utilizing my system more and of course that makes me happy.

I'm a huge Krafwerk fan which is perhaps too "pop" for fans of industrial. Ragardless, I recommend that any fan of electronic music get their live DVD, "Minimum Maximum". It's in DTS 5.1 and it is so clean, clear, and crisp sounding! They do an excellent job separating the sounds and incorporating the surround speakers without going overboard. The two newer guys in the band actually did the mix. Not only does it sound good, it's an entertaining DVD, and gives you an idea of what they are like live. Unfortunately, it still doesn't quite replicated seeing them in person.

Speaking of Skinny Puppy, I saw part of a concert on DVD. Ogre is crazy on stage...what a mess he is at the end!

INANE/sonicfox, do you listen to bands like Felix da Housecat, Ladytron or Fischerspooner? I listen to all sorts of different types of electronic music. I love old 80's synthpop (DM, New Order, Dead or Alive, Duran Duran etc..) and I also like bands like Autechre, Download, Plaid and many other artists on the Warp Records label.

sonicfox, Skinny Puppy opened their tour here in Portland which was really cool. You mentioned Ogre looks a mess on stage. Personally, I'm surprised he's still alive after all the junk he put in his body. Glad to see him clean (and kinda sober).

Hi DOUBTINGTHOMAS29! I'm not familiar with Felix da Housecat, but I've got one Ladytron cd, 'Light & Magic'. I've only listened to bits of Fischerspooner and found them a bit dull. Maybe I need to give it another listen. What album do you reccomend from them? And yes, I love 80's synthpop as well as well as the other bands you mentioned. I also like industrial bands from around that time like A Split Second, Cabaret Voltaire, and Nitzer Ebb.

Anybody know, does 70's musicians Triumvirat and Rick Wakeman fit this description of music? Spartacus and Journey to the Center of the Earth are 2 all time favorites. Guy
