In my young and geeky days I found a love for electronic music. First with Vangelis and Tangerine Dream.. then one day a girl from school handed me a walkman playing skinny puppy's assimilate and it was all uphill from there... upvote.

cheers!

The ninth segment of your playlist had a YouTube "copyright infringement" notice in your country."

By the way, a few weeks ago I posted a video of New Order playing "Blue Monday" at BBC Radio 1 studios:

have u read this? http://www.members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/index.htm

Having looked at it, I'm pretty sure I read this very site about 2 - 3 years back when it looked more like a standard web page. I remember having read at the same time that Mark Laidlaw had reviewed it and he stated that they nailed most of the details, but not quite 100%.

It's one of my favorite elements of the half-life games - that the narrative happens mostly around you, not spoon fed to you. You experience it as if it's actually you caught up in the events, never cutting away to something you wouldn't be able to perceive. They cheat a little bit with the introduction of Alyx as she tends to point things out and go, 'Hey, that's happening because of this!', but not overly so.

It's like with some of the electronic music I listen to, there's more layers you can attempt to unravel each time you play/listen to it.

Thank you for the link. : )

Public space is indeed often submitted..was thinking of making it a group playlist, but it may be something for a channel too..electronic music, design (as a counterpart of engineering, for fashion/architecture/industrial design etc.), pranks..

Techno music, other electronic music is terrible.

With a few notable exceptions. http://www.myspace.com/venetiansnares

Music is made by people, with instruments, and can be played live.

Electronic music is programmed by a person, yes, but the sounds come from computers. The snare hit in an electronic song is made by the computer, and there is no snare. You can't eat wax food, no matter how real it looks. You extract zero nutrients.

You can play an electronic song for hours, days, years, without getting tired, without any soul or effort. This runs against everything I believe in as a musician (i'm the lead singer of The Shillelaghs www.myspace.com/theshillelaghs)

Music should be from your hands, not from your fingertips. Music should be made standing up, in front of people, not sitting in your boxers in front of a screen. Music shouldn't be easy. You can fuck around with an electronic song for months until you have every single note perfectly right, in it's correct place. Do you know how much time I have to get my music right? Within the three and a half minuets that I am on stage, singing that particular song. Asshole DJ can perfect his crap on the computer, and bring it out, and hit play, and everyone cheers like that is a fucking accomplishment. Sure, you add this and that, alter it with more machines in your safe little booth. At what point does the artist shine through the technology?

I wish I could just bring a CD player on stage, connect it to the PA, and hit play. Would save my boys a lot of effort in hauling gear on and off stage, keeping everything sounding good. Why? All i need is my bands recording, come out, put it on the PA, and everything is the same, correct?

Not particularly bashing the energy that the audience brings to the music. People like to dance, i get it. But it's not "music". You'll never convince me of that fact. To me, music is another beast entirely.

Ending was gold. Electronic music > Henry Rollins.

And btw isn't sampling old songs more of a hip-hop/house thing... Like not the music they play at raves.

thanks for your kind words:), eclecticism is indeed quite rare but gaining ground..some developments in pop culture are hopeful (e.g. music: mashups, integration of electronic music genres into pop)..only more experimental culture unfortunately still has a lower appeal..cul8r!
