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

Peter, fyi...the bonus disc track "The Box" is the same track I put on my first mix disc that you said felt unfinished. That's because the version I used was. I didn't think many people would appreciate a 28 min song. (Putting it on a bonus disc was a great idea!)

Aww, darn, spiff! If I had known you were already familiar with the stuff, I would have made a special one just for you! I put a lot of familiar bands and tracks (fan favorites) on the disc on purpose to introduce people to the genre. Maybe for you, I'll have to make another disc with something more obscure!

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.

Very nice. Is that her natural voice hitting those high notes?

hmmm...my avatar isn't working again.

Grrr...

it's working for me.

Yes, it's totally her natural voice hitting those high notes! Obviously, her voice is triggering an effects processor to make it sound strange, but it's definitely her. When she sings it live, she uses a different mic for those parts.

If it's worth it to you to download them, I've uploaded a couple more fantastic songs, here. You have to wait 45 secs for the download and then close the popup (it covers the download link...sorry!). 'Utopia' is from the first album, "Felt Mountain", where you can hear her unaltered high voice in the style of opera! The second song, 'Ride A White Horse' is from the latest album, "Supernature". Here you can tell the difference in music style.

The disc just arrived about 8 minutes ago! (8 days to arrive)

Many thanks Mary. I'll post my thoughts after listening. Haven't heard of anybody except Kraftwerk so I'm looking forward to hearing something new.

Zarak... still interested in what's more an electronic rock than industrial CD?

Nitzer Ebb, Thrill Kill, Jesus & Mary Chain, Epoxies, new Blondie (her "new" dance club hit Good Boys), Talking Heads, Soviettes, Love and Rockets, Ministry, Sugar (all hail Bob Mould - ex-Husker Du), New Model Army, and a creepy one by the Harlots... and a secret campy bonus track.

If so, PM me your address.

Did you get this mix made Bren?

Oh yeah, sorry meant to private you... Sonic got hers already, you should have it any time now.
