Recommend me some techno/electronica...
« on: November 30, 2008, 09:11:06 pm »

So basically this thread is to help me find some good techno for my iPod. The only stuff I have really listened to is Infected Mushroom and I am looking for more songs of similar style.

What's the name of the song that talks about dreams? "Sweet dreams are made of these..."

Oh yes, and what about that other techno song that talks about...er...about that "Are you better off alone", by Alice Deejay?

I also know about "What is Love, Baby Don't Hurt Me, Don't Hurt Me, No More."

1. Eurythmics, unless you mean Marilyn Manson's version
2. "Do You Think You're Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay, yeah.
3. Haddaway, "What is Love?"

I recommend www.pandora.com, which blows all other internet radio out of the water.

But specifically?  If you're into traditional euro-style trance, I recommend George Acosta and Armin Van Buuren.  If you're looking for something mildly different, check out Smith & Pledger and Starecase.  If you're looking for non-euro stuff, I'd say Hiroshi Watanabe, or Kaito for the ambient-trance stuff.

*Smiles* That's where I got all of the things I suggested.

Except Gigi D'Agostino.

Quote from: Pandora internet radio site
Dear Pandora Visitor,

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

ARGHGRAH!!!

It seems that all internet radio sites do this. Does anybody know of any that don't?

Shpongle, that it is the other electronic band I started listening to. (The first being Infected Mushroom.) Also, I'm going to see it live (or whatever, it's their DJ gig) on Saturday.

As for electronica, I have really liked Thom Yorke's The Eraser.

Air isn't that bad either, but it's mostly just background music.

I'm pretty sure there are sites out there that act as a middleman so you can get around shit like that.  Not that I can name any.  Try Googling for one.

I didn't realize there was such a large following of electronic listeners here at bay12. For some reason I thought everybody on the internet was into metal :P. It certainly seemed that way from the rate a song topic.
