I was a fan of Electronica from day #1, when I first started hearing bits and pieces and tastes of it in the early 1980's... Bands such as, New Order, Tangerine Dream, and Depeche Mode, and others led the way, as well as Madonna, although she called her work "Techno-Pop"
I've been a fan of Electronica music for about 25 years now... and I've seen the changes in it through the years... and also the names for it has changed through the years... Electronica, Techno-Pop, Alternative, Trance, Rave, Ambient and now Dub-Step... it is all dub-oriented, looped, trip-hop.
I'm going to start it out with some older stuff...
Here we go with one of my earliest all-time-favs of Electronica... This is The Crystal Method ~ "Busy Child"
Sorry Madonna you come in second for me...but you ROCK!
Next Up must be Madonna ~ "Ray Of Light"
This one is by "Faithless" (2007) video created by Paranoid Projects for a Coca-Cola ad.. here is Faithless ~ "I Never Stop"
This one may stray a bit from the comfort of the repetitive nature of the electronica manufactured music genre, because it does have some real brass instruments used in the tune... but it's hot... and I love it... so here it is... cool video too... Groove Armada ~ "At The River"
The next band I first heard in the 80's... still luv 'em... Here is Tangerine Dream ~ "Speed Dragon"
Daft Punk ~ "Harder, Better, Stronger"... The tune is early electronica... this video knocked my socks off! How original! How... daft!
Finishing this up with another Crystal Method tune... they've come a long way since "Busy Child".... here is Crystal Method ~ "Mass Distortion"
Hope you enjoyed!
