Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 The most impressive I ever heard is Hurdy Hurry by Phill Niblock: http://www.we7.com/#/song/PHILL-NIBLOCK/Hurdy-Hurry It doesn't have quite the same effect on my home stereo, but when it was played to us through a PA when I was at music college it created amazing psycho-acoustic effects, including me (and a few others) hearing whispering, chattering voices, like demons were talking in my ears. Very few students made it to the end of the recording, and one girl very nearly had a panic attack. THAT is powerful music! Also, any track from Tangerine Dream's "Electronic Meditation" album: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_playlists&search_query=%22tangerine+dream%22+%22electronic+meditation%22&uni=1 And anything from their album "Zeit": http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%22tangerine+dream%22+zeit&aq=f Plus the whole "entroducing" album by DJ Shadow, here's track 1, the rest are close-by in the side-bar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5X0HaHZlss Sort of less, and more than, five... but hey EDIT: @Andyreww: Your Orbital link is just the Orb link again. Edit that sucka! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Sky - Toccata Sky are too funny, and a bit of a bane of my childhood. Every parent and teacher had at least one tape by them. The top two comments on that YouTube page say it all about their fans Total gorgonzola! And, this is a genuine qustion, does the drummer have Down's Syndrome?

Andy I know what you mean, I'm cursed with a penchant for Neil Diamond And, not wanting to harp-on about Tangerine Dream TOO much, but Orbital always remind me of a simpler, more dancy reworking of their 1983 album "Hyperborea". Particularly this tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgISgf03JAw I didn't hear it till the 90s, but it must have sounded like it was sent from the future at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly this tune I've been listening to their tracks since the Pioneers post - very progressive for their time. I'm thinking about asking Santa is he can bring me a CD. IMHO 808 State were ahead of their time at the end of the 80's. Their tracks had way more depth to them than the electronic dance music at the time. (Same with Orbital & Leftfield). They easily compare with dance tracks today....I guess that's where the word "Timeless" comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 boards of canada - music is math I quite liked Boards of Canada when I first heard Geogaddi and Twoism, but after a short while I found their constant use of slow pitch modulation was masking quite dull music... for me anyways... maybe I should give them another listen... All your other choices were prime though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your other choices were prime though! it all went 'tits up', when they rented their studio to someone who thought it would be doing them a favour to fix the reel-to-reel machine i do know what you mean..it's way overused.....i do like some of their stripped back compositions, though, like 'olsen' 'bocuma' and 'kaini industries' (all from 'music has the right to children') but it doesn't get me like some of the more intricate edits of artists like 'squarepusher', 'edIT' and 'prefuse'73'....i like music that i have no clue where to start, imitating.... i am about to launch myself into 'reaktor', so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_marshall Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Extremely hard to answer, but my rotating five would probably be (based on crowd reactions and goosepumps when played): Goldie - Inner City Life (Rabbit in the Moon Extended Mix) Radiohead - Everything in it's right place (Hybrid Mix) Lusine - Make it Easy HiFi Bugs - Lydian and the Dinosaur Leftfield - Song of Life Others that sneak into the list periodically: Narcotik - Blue Orbital - Belfast Danny Tenaglia - Elements Roni Size / Reprazent - Brown Paper Bag Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy the list goes on and on and on.....
