Portishead - "Dummy"
Portishead - "Portishead"

― Seb (Seb), Saturday, 5 June 2004 02:41 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

massive attack - blue lines
the orb - the orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld

― Regular John (Regular John), Saturday, 21 January 2006 00:24 (twenty years ago)

acid scout - safari

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 21 January 2006 00:28 (twenty years ago)

So many I haven't heard yet especially in the ambient/drone dept... ILXors Milton Parker & co. to the rescue.

Stockhausen, Massive Attack, Burger/Ink - Las Vegas (also Burger's Lush Life Electronica as The Bionaut), Orb - Adventures seconded (and Sun Electric have also done a couple perfect LPs I'd say).

ellen allien - weiss mix, berlinette ... if anybody cares about her in three years i'll eat my trucker hat.
Seconded, I'll be eating my Red Sox cap.

Looking at slightly larger spines on the vinyl wall...

Kraftwerk (and Señor Coconut by association), The Residents, Eno all have several perfect electronic music albums I cannot choose from.

Model 500 - Sonic Sunset & UR - Revolution For Change
Jedi Knights - New School Science (short of seconding the Global Comm love.. these guys must have done something right !)
The KLF - CHill Out
The Sabres Of Paradise - Sabresonic (prolly just being sentimental here)
Esplendor Geometrico - Kosmos Kino (amazing covers from these cats always)
Suicide - Suicide
Cabaret Voltaire - Mix-Up
Robert Hood - Minimal Nation
Hippnotic Culture (Terrence Dixon) - Population 1
Hell - Geteert & Gefedert (forget your Acid Scouts, here's your Bartz)
The Private Lightning Six - They Came Down
Kruder & Dorfmeister - G-Stoned & Nightmares On Wax - Smokers Delight
Motorbass - Pansoul (conveniently, the longer re-release)
Khan & Walker - Empire State Building
Cristian Vogel - Absolute Time
Le Coeur - Suddenly

Reprazent's New Forms, Hardfloor's TB Resuscitation, Mills' Waveform Transmissions 1 & 3who would have thought they wouldn't remain stone cold classics ? Houch.

The Sabres Of Paradise - Sabresonic (prolly just being sentimental here)

haunted dancehall seconded - the most underrated stoner album of all time.

― Louis Giomblechett and his kerayzy friends (dog latin), Saturday, 21 January 2006 04:17 (twenty years ago)

― latebloomer: virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be (lat, Saturday, 21 January 2006 04:31 (twenty years ago)

CJ Bolland 'Electronic Highway'

Even though I don't think it's perfect, it's nice to hear someone big this up, it's rarely mentioned on ILM.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 21 January 2006 14:11 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I forgot Nek Sanalet by Kit Clayton from my list.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 21 January 2006 14:12 (twenty years ago)

And Age of Consent by Bronski Beat.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 21 January 2006 14:13 (twenty years ago)

I sold 'Electronic Highway' pretty recently...

Jeez Vahid makes Ellen Allien sound like Miss Kittin or something, just 'cos she adopted a few Anthony Rother-isms here & there (*cough* Data Romance) I think she'll last going on the current evidence, though things could change... When did weiss.mix get posted on this thread? That's 2002 for a start!

― fandango (fandango), Saturday, 21 January 2006 14:31 (twenty years ago)

(I don't dislike Caroline Herve fwiw, just saying I think Ellen's got more of a long term plan/roots going on with her thing).

― fandango (fandango), Saturday, 21 January 2006 14:33 (twenty years ago)

The 4th Sign >>>>>>>>>>> Electronic Highway (and I don't even rate The 4th Sign that much, other than as a very nice, accomplished 'mature' capture of the R&S sound at time it was made...)

Horsepower - Ravesignal >> The 4th Sign (probably).

― fandango (fandango), Saturday, 21 January 2006 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Jimpster - Messages from the Hub

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 21 January 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Pet Shop Boys - Alternative

― Dan (Stone Classic) Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 21 January 2006 16:21 (twenty years ago)

xpost - I think I understand Ronan's meaning, though I'm not denying EA has some hipster following... hell I'm not even gonna exclude myself completely, I own a Chicks On Speed record for a start.

― fandango (fandango), Saturday, 21 January 2006 16:27 (twenty years ago)

― Yawn (Wintermute), Saturday, 21 January 2006 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Well alot of the harder techno fans around here, who'd have a freak out if you told them something they liked was fashionable, such is their meat and potatoes existence, are huge Ellen Allien fans, and are the ones who rep for Allien. You don't find as much of a crossover between Allien and other popular German artists, at the risk of undoing the good from the idjuts thread I'd have to say it's more than a bit of a sweep to lump her in with them, because erm, she's German.

And in any case, stylistically there is no word even remotely close to "glamorous", "trendy" etc or any of their weaker cousins that I would use to describe Ellen Allien's music.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 21 January 2006 17:11 (twenty years ago)

uh
OK now recompress differently ?

― blunt (blunt), Saturday, 21 January 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

I keed. She's a bit heavy-handed with the music and attitude yes. Which also helps her fashionability, no matter how unglamorous it may be - actually that grey-beton 'unglamour' is her main schtick. However I prefer to discuss music only. Once that sucks, who cares about the rest.
