Electronic Album Survivor
 

Well firstly, I should know if this would have enough participation so I don't waste my time typing a bunch of stuff

Well, categories wouldn't be that much of a bitch, these are my main area of expertise but others can help too with different ones they like

Psytrance/psybient
IDM
Industrial hardcore
Breakcore
Acid house/techno
Power noise

I don't really know electronic music very well so if you compile a list I'll listen and vote. I'd like to have a stronger education in this genre. a survivor thread would be great.

What things do you know now

Frankly, I know I don't like dubstep. That's it.

Super loud and ridiculous stuff like Excision?

what about this

Just speaking of nice dubstep ^^

Electroballs

At least I was able to gather that this won't happen before typing possible battles

I would do it.

woulda been cool to know huh

I thought I had posted whoops

Yeah it would only be four or five of us. What is your threshold for starting it? How many would you like participating. Bear in mind how many actual regulars we do have.

Bare vs. bear - Grammarist

So bear is the correct spelling in the phrasal verbs bear down, bear out, and bear up. It’s also the correct word in the phrases bear down on, bear fruit, bear in mind, and bring to bear and in the common phrases grin and bear it and bear the brunt of. Bare wouldn’t make sense in any of these phrases or expressions.

I know. Still.

I'll take part.

i would try my hardest to keep up, no promises though.

There's a metric asston of different subgenres that I dunno very well so if there's experts on any given genre that isn't participating then I don't think there'd be that many.

And I dunno what you mean about the threshold. Like, take the rock survivor and replace the albums and categories with electronic ones. The rock one is a smash hit and still goes indefinitely.

Where's Aux-In when you need him?

****, do I even listen to enough electronic to even try and make a list? I'll attempt certainly...

Container - LP needs to be in Power Noise tho

My areas of expertise are in

D&B
Dubstep
Chillstep
Some Trance mostly progressive stuff
Trap

Summoning Innerspaceboy for the choice House, Ambient, and Acid lists.

so how does this work?

I've never paid attention to the other album survivor threads.

Make a list of ten of the best albums from the genres. See above.

nah it's cool, not like I said I knew anything about those, no one has faith in me anyway

I'm at least gonna list possibilities

acid house/techno:

1. 808 State - ex:el
2. The KLF - The White Room
3. The Kosmik Kommando - Freaquenseize
4. Psychic TV - Towards Thee Infinite Beat
5. Dadamnphreaknoizphunk - Take Off da Hot Sweater
6. Ceephax Acid Crew - Ceephax Acid Crew
7. AFX - Analogue Bubblebath III/Caustic Window - Caustic window LP/The Tuss - Rushup Edge (I dunno which, butI think it should only be one of them for fairness)
8.
9.
10.

ambient (just as a generalization?):

1. Biosphere - Substrata
2. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (or Volume II if we're going more ambient)
3. Gas - (Zauberberg, Konigsforst, and Pop are all fantastic)
4. The Future Sound of London - Dead Cities
5. The KLF - Chill Out
6. Porter Ricks - Biokinetics
7. Monolake - Hongkong
8. Woob - Woob 1194
9. Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid
10. Carbon Based Lifeforms - World of Sleepers
11. Pete Namlook & Tetsu Inoue - 2350 Broadway 4
12. Global Communication - 76:14

I see that but I mean like what happens next after that. I will post up my lists soonish.

Oh. Well we just vote off a few artists every few days. The OP will update accordingly with which bands are voted out and how many to vote out in the new round, until eventually all are voted out except one. And then, theoretically, at the end of all the lists they all go up against each other until the best album wins.

This is the only that I'm sure I'll participate in. Needs some Popul Vuh.

what if I did that old electronic krautrock for a batlle

Don't see why not. We can get as complex as we want. No rules here.

not really all krautrock though. classics



1. Kraftwerk - Autobahn
2. Popol Vuh - In den Gärten Pharaos
3. Harmonia - Deluxe
4. Silver Apples - Silver Apples
5. The United States of America - The United States of America
6. Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure
7. Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
8. Suicide - Suicide
9. The Residents - Duck Stab
10. Ashra - New Age of Earth

I feel like we could tighten that up or make it into two or more different lists. Lots of very different things on there imo. Suicide can go on a synth punk list, for example. Not to mention, no Cluster.

well, "classic electronic albums" covers a lot of ground

pioneers and the like

I think it borders on being too ambiguous.

sure does, that's why I made it
