Yeah, yeah Flashback. You don't have to be so nit-picky.:dizzy
But now I know such sub-genres exist!
I generally follow this rule: Listen. If I like, I buy, and if I do not like, I do not buy.
Genres are almost meaningless to me...
We also went through this quibbling around two years ago about names based on minuscule differences in music. Just enjoy the music instead of the classification.
There _are_ occasions where the genre/classification is _very_ descriptive of the type of music. For example:
Nerdcore Hiphop
Hobbit Rap
But as a general rule, yes, classifications are not very useful.
Aphex Twin: Windowlicker. I must've listened to this track about 10 times in a row!! This sh** is crazy!!!
agreed, Aphex Twin is a great artist
They're Australian? Dunno why but I always assumed they were british. must be because they remind me so much of Mr Scruff. Also if you think the song's great, check out the video :DQuote:

Hi All.
now i listen to....
Ulrich Schnauss - Never Be The Same from Goodbye album.
I'm pretty sure that it is a downbeat electro ambient stuff ;)
.....sometimes, someone called it new age, but........i'm not in agreement with this classification.
Remember.... It is very important the age of a reviewer......i'm 45 years old and I listen to the early born electronic music, or to the early born pop/rock in the seventies.
now i find out that it's called 'prog'.......Genesis, ELP, Marillion, King Crimson, PFM, Yes, for me for example they aren't prog music makers, but pop/rock with some particular music style influences.
Yes and ELP are in Symphonic Rock groove.
Genesis and Marillion are in Romantic Rock groove.
Now when i read the actual classification they are all called prog musicians......aaaah the young reviewers......:D
Electronic music for me it's all the early music movements in Germany of Seventies, from Ash Ra Temple, to Kraftwerk.
In seventies the 'analog synth' was called 'electronic instrument' ;)
In this age no 'synth pop' exist.
....they didn't have any type of digital synth in this historical period only analogic sinth like vcs3, or moog, or arp odissey (do you remember The wall of electronic sound of Schulze?)
When i think and refer to 'Synth pop', i find only some groups in early eighties, like the fantastic 'Art Of Noise' for example and when i speak about electro, I find only Kraftwerk in early seventies When the synth pop was not yet born.
excuse my bad english, but i hope that you understand my little opinion :)

EDIT: I agree that generation plays a large part in the classification of music. As a member of Generation X, electro (electrofunk) to me is classified as one of the few sub genres of hip hop. To my knowledge, Kraftwerk did have at least one crossover track that was very popular in the early breakdance scene (Tour de France, original mix), but aside from that and the massively-sampled Trans-Europe Express (the protototype for Afrika Bambaataa's Planet Rock), they were as a genre somewhat distinct from early electro. Kraftwerk in my opinion were always on the experimental side of electronic music, not really tailored for dance, which electro was suited for. Despite this, Kraftwerk figures heavily into the influence of U.S.-based producers during the early emergence of electro and techno. I've heard of synthpop and technopop bounced around when describing Kraftwerk, but for all we know, they may even ride the boundaries of genres if that's even possible.
As for me, I'm currently listening to:
Robert Hood - The Protein Valve (A1 Mix)
Haunting minimal detroit 4/4 tech with a slice of acid.
- F
I am listening to the holy mother of all drum&bass tunes at the moment;
Lynx - Disco Dodo
(sorry, this has to be typed in caps>>>) WHAT A TUNE!
I Got This Down - Simian Mobile Disco
Not Daft Punk, by any means, but pretty darn close. ;)
Huun Huur Tu - Fly, Fly My Sadness
Great throat singings tracks.
Only to say there's a new music channel at http://www.di.fm called Electrohouse which is pretty damn good : not much house but electro :guitar
Moby - Living
One of my favorite songs ever I do believe. :)
36 Crazyfists: Bloodwork...
Future Sound of London, Pulse State from the album Accelerator.
Classic old school dance, very hypnotic chilled with a beat.
Nine Inch Nails --} No, you don't
Sounds Of Life-Pendulum
=]]
Who's heard of DJ Whore? I beleive they could do music for Wipeout very well if they wanted to...
Edit: Well... not all songs are good, but I like klubbkydz and DiSCOTEKA tracks the most from what I've heard... they're hot... :D
