Bahamut Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 1976: Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene Vangelis - Albedo 0.39 Klaus Schulze - Moondawn Ash Ra Tempel - New Age of Earth Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear All superb albums. =) Only Kraftwerk is missing. I don't like them because they are considered as classics, I wasn't even born then, I like them because I honestly like the music very much. I can't imagine any list of electronic music anno 2006 is going to beat this..... according to my personal taste and way of rating music. Sometimes when I listen to the 1970s classics again (yes, I'm a fan), I think electronic music has devolved, one way or another... (you may try to prove me wrong, but it will be pointless ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time_Trap Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think not, especially ambient has evolved a lot and become better or at least same musical quality [do i have to mention the pionners again ;p] let alone IDM & the more experimental side of electronica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 there's something about the sounds and the spontanious nature of the music... it's more alive than a lot of today's electronic music... maybe because it doesn't sound so perfect because of the analog hardware and old recording techniques also they are great musicians who are good in a technical way and also good with composition/melody...they really used their synthesizers as instruments of course I like a lot of modern electronic music as well but it seems something from that golden period is lost...and will never return again although I liked some of his later stuff better ... but anyway 623626[/snapback] which ones?

Drosophila Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene 622776[/snapback] a classic indeed although I liked some of his later stuff better ... but anyway 623626[/snapback] me too, my favorite Jarre albums are Les Chants Magnétiques (Magnetic Fields) and then Equinoxe and then comes Oxygen. But ehh I also had a tape with Magnetic Fields on with me to kindergarten so its the one I have heard the most and was sort of breastfed with it, but still a true masterpiece IMHO! But I have'nt heard the other releases you mention, and none at all from Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine Dream might be worth cheking out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 you should but I only picked this year because it's 30 years ago almost anything from these artists (including kraftwerk) in the period 1975-1980 is great and in a lesser degree also 1970-1975 and 1980-1985 or so...... after that perhaps only some occasional good stuff..

Aqualung Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I think in 1976 Presence was released. One of the best and definately the most underrated Led Zeppelin album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTP Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 which ones? 624015[/snapback] Metamorphoses ... "C'Est La Vie" and "Hey Gargarin" are my absolute favourite Jarre songs. And the rest on that album is really good aswell, only in the second half it weakens... and Chronologie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
