On Western Front it is probably considered a dirty word but I am curious if anyone in the scene gets into Electronic music (Electronic is a very broad term so I'm not referring to *DOOF DOOF*)?
I also find it interesting that certain high profile members of the early black metal movement are very open about liking electronic music.
-
Metalheads on drugs = not-so-closet techno fiends. I have watched many metalheads slip over to the dark side over the years.
I'm not big on electronic music in general, but my love of synth pop is no secret.
-
Electronic music is so very broad.. Personally I really like EBM / Aggrotech & I don't do drugs plus still enjoy metal..

I also really enjoy electronic music that goes in more of an experimental direction. The best example would be later era Ulver.

Eloise you know we have equal love for synth pop & that is no secret.

Electronic music is an oxymoron.
;D

i like classical, big themey type electronic music. gotta be dark or evil, uplifting kick you in the face feeling and dynamic.
I also really dig electronic percussive samples behind metal tracks, not necessarily drum sounds, actually preferabley not. again it has to sound cutting.
I know you stated not DOOF,
but i would just like to say i really fucking hate DOOf, but in particular, i hate covers of old and uptodate radio genres and classics done in DOOF. you know the ones you see at the gym with some fucking hot chick miming the lyrics to?
tis the only time i really hate fucking hot latex wearing hotties.

Yeah You and Cliff hate techno. But it doesn't stop You guys dancing to it when You're both pissed. ;D

Dancing!?. Dancing is even worse.
I think maybe you were the pissed one. ;) :drunk:

Team Sleep has electronic elements.
They kick ass.
-
Electronic is good. My side project Metaphusika is part electronic. Hence the MIDI\.... thread I started.
Sometimes doof is good in my opinion. Hardcore techno is good too.
But nothing is as good as black metal.
-
electronic music is a sin. 8)
-
Grim if you haven't already listen to Nachtmahr, Psyclon Nine or Xotox.
-
Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada and Autechre all have their moments.

^ Agreed, also James Plotkins Atomsmasher.
I think if it has a 'metal' connection to it, people will give it more of a chance. Some of the ambient/electronic/whatever stuff ranging from Wongraven, Ulver, Scorn etc
-
occasionly i will listen to trance just to mix it up and some Aphex Twin on late nite drinking sessions

That Ulver album didn't really impress me much.
I have some new music to check out now.
-
Ulver is extremely boring to me, even their so called 'best' albums.
Ambient music is extremely good, especially when you aren't in the mood for some metal for whatever reason, or you just want to wind down. Dark Ambient shouldn't be forgotten either, Raison d'etre, Atrium Carceri (among others) are extremely good. Oh and Biosphere for a plain old ambient artist.
As for Synth Pop, Royksopp aren't all that bad.

This unfortunately :(. The friend that introduced me to metal only listens to remixes and DOOF rubbish. Needless to say, I no longer have contact with him, for that reason perhaps among many others.

Holy shit I hate that album. I'd rather listen to Tool with Lars Ulrich drumming than listen to Demanufacture. That's real hate people.
While I'm in this thread...
There are only two awesome electronic bands/artists in the world. They are Nunwhore Commando 666 and TISM.

Dont like Deman :o
TISM are cool.
Dont know how electronic Deman is though. If you call triggers electronic then yeah.

i actually agree. Team Sleep kicks ass...
Aphex Twin, Noisia, Brian Eno (oh wait that might be analog...), Massive Attack, Radiohead's Amnesiac...
dont forget the Amenta & the Berzerker....... :headbang:

Im sure you didn't mean it but the way you said that made it seem like you only associate with people that like metal? Feel free to correct me.
-
most of my good mates from high school are big into drum and bass and dub step type stuff, its not too bad, kinda cool going to a party there and there are always decks set up with almost everyone at the party having a spin. The stuff the listen to is pretty dark like noisia, amon tobin and stuff like that, been to a couple of their gigs and went to a big international dnb gig once, was pretty cool. need to be in a different state but.. some of the dub step is wicked and pretty heavy drum beats.. is not to bad

Surprized no ones mentioned the Mighty "SQUAREPUSHER" :D

If this was facebook I'd "like this".
-
But it's not, so shut your fuckin' mouth!
-
I get into Massive Attack,Air,Cornelius,Laibach,Dj Dylan,NIN,Drum 'n Bass,Hardcore Electronic. . .fuck who cares.
I just cant listen to metal all the time. That's just goddamn narrowminded to listen to one type of genre.
My 2cents.
-
Electronic music is gay.
My 2cents.

Electronic music is an oxymoron.
;D
Agreed.
-
Oxymoron is 4 year trade.
-
The Prodigy were good in the late 90's. Fat of the land was a good album.
-
Tijuana cartel, some buckethead like the bermuda triangle album. Also did fire at the railway to something called jungle, it was pretty fucking good.
-
Had a listen to Prodigies Fat of the land tonight. Definetly has some good ideas in it.
Brings back a few memories too.
-
I could be wrong here. But didn't Kin mix Techno/Electronic with Metal? That'd be when Jez was playing Keyboards.
I never did get to see Kin with Jez on Keys. Just Dylan,Pete,Andy and the Pineapple. ;D
-
Electronic music is much better than metal and takes way more skill.
Every metal song I've ever heard was just some faggot screaming about how much he likes to rape babies. Can't tell if there's any instrumentation...sounds like it's recorded in a public toilet.
-
I assume You are being Sarcastic. Although I really shouldn't because "*Assumption is the Mother of all Fuckups".
*Guess which movie that quote is from. 8)
-
Electronic music is good when im in the right mood but metal will always get a more intense reaction from me. But everyone is different.

I wasnt referring to anything at all to do with what he said in the post (having known this guy on WF for years before you ever came along, I know his sense of humour). What I was getting at was Jarrydn used to be a regular poster (frequent poster even) and he hasnt popped in for years. Mind your own business. :raspberry:
-

Think I'll pass, thanks :D

Jarrydn will always be a foetus to me.

Out of curiosity, I went to a bush doof on the outskirts of armadale a few years back. Only just found my way back home now. Some hippies drugged me, and while I was passed out they forced a bag of pills up my arse. It burst, and I've pretty much just been wandering about, tripping dick, listening to this gay solar powered FLAC player (mp3 is too conformist) I found the morning after the doof.
-
I'm a big fan of dark dubstep and dnb. I actually went to Origin (dnb/dubstep/hip hop) festival for new years last year and I had the best time.
Excision's mix of slayer goes off. Also really dig Scream's mix of La Roux's in for the kill.

Love that guy, but by the sound of his cds he's eating all the squares instead of pushing them.
Nerve is the best. Electronic beats, real musicians no machines apart from synths.
-
Daargard, Aphex Twin, KMFDM, NIN (naturally), Daft Punk
call me a homo, but I'm going to see Crystal Castles in January. I like what they do.
-
It's not that I agree or disagree with anything you said, but you specifically asked for this...
You're a homo.

Yeah sorta. We used some dance-ish programmed sequences to bring in the songs "Sewerside" and "Hail to the Freek" and used saw wave sounds in other songs here and there. But it was never about making it more electrical, only to make the heavy riffs heavier still in contrast.
