I agree. People often assume that electronic = techno/trance (even though what they classify as techno/trance is... ugh), and then they just leave it at that. It's just so much more.

I am not familiar with what is going on today, but either one of The Cars' first two albums are good, if you want to go all the way back to the roots of the sound. It may seem primitive now, but it's still solid music, and, at the time, very innovative, especially Candy-O.

Funny you should bring up Tomita, I bought 'Snowflakes are Dancing' on vinyl. He's a Japanese composer and this album is electronic versions of Debussy songs. I had never listened to anything like that before...

I was trying to think up a good album, but I have to say that anything by mu-Ziq is wicked, even his Spatula Freak alias. Check it out.

People say that because there isnt any actualy instrumentation in electronica music that it requires no skill. I'd love to show them some of the equipment required to produce a 5 minute trance track.

the most underrated album and artist in my opinion is Gigi D'Agostino - L'Amour Toujour.

Hello, new ot the forum and I'd agree with this post wholehearedly..
I used to be that way, note USEd but that was several years ago..
It was Robert Miles that opened my eyes, then soon after I found enigma, then some lighter trance stuff then I delved deeper and found gabber/hardcore and very hooked on those two styles.
Takes just as much talent for lectronica as any other style

With people mentioning Vangelis on this thread, I don't know whether this is a 'Synthesiser' thread or a dance music thread. Anyway, I think Livin' Joy's album 'Don't Stop Movin' is seriously underrated. I own this album, and happen to think there are some real great songs on there.
