ariScotle Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 So I was looking on Ektoplazm at Basilisk's "essential selections" and it has been very helpful to explore some of the more important, good and historical psy releases. (Excellent resource btw, and you should check it out) http://www.ektoplazm.com/projects/essential-selections/ As a fan of all types of electronic music, I am wondering... What are the most important/great albums from the history of non-psy electronic music? I'd love to see your lists of the albums every fan MUST have/hear or at least respect. You can take from Techno, House, Breakbeat, Drum n Bass, Dubstep, Minimal, Tech-House, Electro... anything really. I look forward to seeing what my fellow psynewsers come up with. Cheers, and thanks for checking out this post. PsyON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Matta Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Brian Eno - Ambient 4: On Land Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children Autechre - Chiastic Slide Woob - 1194 Biosphere - Substrata The KLF - Chill Out Arovane - Atol Scrap Tim Hecker - Radio Amor Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene Tomita - Snowflakes are Dancing Isan - Meet Next Life Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By Solvent - Solvent City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Woob - 1194 Biosphere - Substrata The KLF - Chill Out Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene these i know and yes i also recommend, but then i can also add: IDM/Ambient/Trance Alien Soap Opera - Second Wave Future Sound Of London - My Kingdom Gas - Gas 0095 Gel-sol - Gel-sol 1104 problem is that many of these are hard to find in original forms, but luckily some have got repressed. i'll think to some more essentials.. one very good but not really like "essential" is: space cat - karraveth although is very expensive and i havent got yet myself and original copy..

murphythecat Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 hey man! there too much style other then psytrance to just name it here a ton of reviews site of tons of style of elkectronica, go look to the top reviews and all http://sonicprocess.blogspot.com/ http://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews.aspx?format=album http://www.sendingorbs.com/content/artists/yagya/rigning_cd http://www.progressive-sounds.com/Music-Re...ghtscape-EP.asp http://brainwashed.com/index.php?option=co...7&Itemid=64 http://www.soundproector.com/?cat=reviews http://www.sutemos.net/en/reviews;gid,359 http://www.echoes.org/ http://www.ambientrecords.co.uk/world_ambient.html have fun, it will takes a LOT of time, if you really wanna dig but my favorite artist and by far, its everything from kettel and especially his earlier work kettel is something really different that youll ever hears, no one does nothing like it, there layers and layers of melodys BUT really you have to listen to almost evrything he did, not just one album, go dig for everything he did, but i recommend a lot tough friendly waters tough other then that, there too much men go take a loook at this poll of best of 2008, its helping me really a lot, im starting to know pretty much the other side, the side of electronica, rather of the IMO boring psychillside or psytrance: http://reviews.headphonecommute.com/2009/01/01/best-of-2008/ and then, when you love an artist, you have to go and listen to everything he did, cause sometime, like infected mushroom in occurance, well, there earlier work was crazy, so if you dont want to miss nothing from every artist, you have to dig far but my coup de coeur recently was HELIOS!!!!!! go take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariScotle Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 So far so good everyone.. Really loving the suggestions Its exactly what I need too, because of my lack of experience with all the non psy music I'm finding that there is more and more music I really love I just don't know what it is yet!!! Keep the lists coming... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yerg Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 why daftpunk? or is just their newer music crappy? if you mean why i didn't include their other (newer) releases - because i think they are good but not essential and in no way crappy.

Luminon Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 It might seem that because of my youth, my collection is almost all psychill, psydub and psybient, but nonetheless, deeply in my heart there is a bit obscure stuff, but magnificent and rich on sound. I picked some: Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells, Amarok (classics) Anthony Phillips - Slow Dance (New Age) Kitaro - Kojiki (New Age) Wingmakers - First Source (New Age) Richard Marchand - Insular World, Get Off My Planet, Myopic Wandering (very avantgarde electronic music by a Canadian digital painter, currently offline) CAI777 - I dreamed of dying, Life/Death (German underground hardcore deathmetal, dark avantgarde ambient, or something like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
