Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater just recieved my m80's

You can't go wrong with anything put out by Underworld. I consider them the best electornic group ever. And I believe that they're about to come out with a new compilation featuring their best music as well as some new tracks as well. Heard them talking about it last night on KCRW.

I love electronic music of all kinds! One to definitely check out is Mouse on Mars. It's somewhat quirky, but really fun stuff!

Also, obviously check out Download, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Orbital, Future Sound of London, Squarepusher, & Mu-ziq (or sometimes found as U-Ziq). Don't forget about the synthpop/industrial bands of the 80's & early 90's! I LOVED Nitzer Ebb!

By the way, did anyone catch Kraftwerk's first ever live television performance on the MTV Europe Video Music Awards? I must say that I thought it was pretty cool! In my opinion, they are the best electronic band ever (nevermind the hokey lyrics!). They've been really reclusive in the past and I hope that this is the start of something new to come. "Tour de France Soundtracks" was cool, but still not *really* new. I know these old guys still have it in them! I was fortunate enough to see them live in 1998 and they played 3 new excellent songs which unfortunately never made in onto a studio release. They are going on tour in 2004, so there's a good chance they're planning on something fresh and new...but that's what I thought in 1998!

Yep...I forgot about Underworld and Orbital. I have a couple cd's from each of them.

I highly recommend Underworld's "Everything, Everything" concert DVD. It's really a testament to how hard they work for their fans in addition to their incredible music. Probably my favorite concert DVD of all time.

I like that one too, but I'd have to say my favorite is still the old Metallica Concert DVD. Still one of the best 5.1 mixes out there, and bass that will shake your house off it's foundation. OK, not really, but it's frikkin deep. I also listen to alot of Techno mixes from Louie DeVito, Sandra Collins, Donald Glaude, Oakenfold, Van Dyke, etc.

Which one? Cunning Stunts?

Yeah.

Kickass...

Question, which version of One do you think is best: original, Live [censored], Cunning Stunts, or S&M? I think the Cunning Stunts one is the best, but AdamP88 prefers S&M.

I like the original video.

OK. I just like the bass-work (which you can actually hear on Cunning Stunts). They do some different stuff. Of course, I've always thought that Metallica tends to hide their bass too well (doubling the guitar, buried under drums, etc.)
