healium Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Oh jeez, there's heaps in that other thread too! I haven't had much luck trying to find downloadable electronica... I check beatport, trackitodown, and cytopia.. None of those places have anything that isn't really mainstream, like Hallucinogen and IM... Can you recommend a good site for such downloads?

yohankiwi Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 hmmmm.... long list but here's a few: DJ Shadow-entroducing (goes without saying really...) Kruder and Dorfmeister: K&D Sessions (fantastic blend of styles on this one: it has everything) Cinematic Orchestra-Everyday (not really electronica but a freakin amazing album) Boards of Canada- anything by them it's all good Future Sound of London- again, anything. Dead cities is my personal favourite though: nice and dark Amon Tobin: Permutation/Bricolage (the one man orchestra) Portishead-Dummy (this one's not vocal free, but the vocals are so damn good it doesnt really matter. Their follow up is even better, but you can't really 'chill out' to it) OTT-Hallucinogen in dub/Blumenkraft Phutureprimitive-Subconscious Those one's are all good evening albums, if you want something a bit more summery/poppy then check out: Nightmares on Wax- Carboot Soul/Smoker's Delight (tasty, tasty CDs) Zero 7- anything Gotan Project- La Revancha del Tango (Electronic tango!! hehehehe) Alpha-Come from heaven/Stargazing (you can't get more dreamy than these) ok, bored now. That'll do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all i can remember right now,enjoy 634508[/snapback] Hi Gnome, cheers for those recommendations, hadn't come across any of those artists before. Downloading now, and they sound very nice (especially the Koordinates of Wonder!). To add my 2p worth, various people have already mentioned most of my favourites, but I would add Bluetech as well, as Evan makes some of the nicest downtempo, slightly glitchy psy that there is. And seems to be a very nice bloke too! Go for all 3 albums, you won't be disappointed: http://www.aleph-zero.info/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
