Favourite/best electronic song/artist?

[bloppyblue]

I love electronic music... It expresses so much in raw beats and I just find it so fascinating. My favourite genre is probably drum n bass, it's just so powerful and it just sounds so damn (well, some). So share your favourite electronic song I'd love to discover new artists!

Anyways, I can't get this outa my head.

I'm a huge fan of British Electronic group Underworld. I love them. They and U2 are my absolute favorite music artists. I'm not sure which one edges out the other for me. I'm also a big fan of Massive Attack, Boards of Canada, and Air. There are many other artists in the genre I like, like Orbital, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation, Royksopp, Aphex Twin, M83, Kraftwerk, Moby, Goldfrapp, and more.

I'm a big drum & bass fan too and was introduced to it when I watched Toonami. I really can't narrow down a favorite track but here's one I always jam to.

since i have something i like in just about every genre, moby, the crystal method and aphex twin comes to mind, and capsule if it counts as electronic (it is electropop)

What albums do you like from Moby and Aphex Twin? I have some Moby albums, and I have Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (pretty good album) from Aphex Twin, plus various songs from him.

My favorite Moby albums are Play (with the B-Sides; the best version) and Wait For Me. I have some other albums of his. He is alright. He does have some great songs (for me, my favorite songs of his are the very soft and beautiful kind of songs he tends to make).

selected ambient works 85-92 is fuckin cool, and maybe richard d. james album too

yes play is good but i've never heard the b-sides, i haven't heard much of wait for me

<3 house

btw eureka 7 has an awesome house trance soundtrack

[synaesthetic]

Dark ambient, yesplz.

Atrium Carceri
Dahlia's Tear
Desiderii Marginis
Ionosphere
Raison d'Etre
Akira Yamaoka
Merzbow

Plus other stuff... Aphex Twin is pretty awesome. Also love Synaesthesia, the FLA ambient side-project.

For electronic-flavored bands of other genres, Samael was an awesome blend of black metal, world music and techno. At least until their most recent album Above, which goes back to their roots as bog-standard (and boring) black metal fare.

amazing, however out of those dark ambient artists i've only listened to Merzbow.

i also listened to electronic-flavored bands, like Genghis Tron, KMFDM, Godflesh, and black metal band Burzum also went ambient when Varg Vikernes was in jail, but their traditional black metal stuff were better.

i loved lolicore stuff such as, Japshitfun, Lolishit, Nasty Maid Grinder, odaxelagnia and others, pretty friggin messed up music

Do you like Selected Ambient Works II by Aphex Twin. Seems like dark ambient music to me. Sounds too creepy to me, honestly. >.>

Do you like Boards of Canada? I'm sure you'd like Music Has The Right To Children and Geogaddi. Geogaddi is pretty good, and Music Has The Right To Children; I like even more. That second one mentioned is one of my favorites in the genre and pretty high up there for favorite albums in general.

selected ambient works II is even more ambient than their other albums, not quite dark but imo it gives off the "spacey" and "empty" feeling, and yes quite creepy too.

Vigil and Guerrero are geniuses. Deep Space Bass is one of my favorites in any genre. Black Hole Megamix has some amazing tracks too.

My favourites of them all are New Order and Kraftwerk

Without New Order and Kraftwerk, most of today's electronic rock would cease to exist. There wouldn't be House, Trance, Dubstep, Breakbeat, DnB, Hardcore and even Hip Hop would never evolve without Kraftwerk. Respect.
