    Electronic Music

    Hello friends,

    This thread is aimed at the discussion of electronic music. If you aren't familiar with electronic music, it is music performed using synthesizers and other electronic instruments. If you liked the '80s, you might like this.

    So, I'm a fan of drum'n'bass, electronica, and jungle (somewhat). I'm not really into dubstep. My favorite artists are Omni Trio, Pendulum, and Kavinsky. Below I will include a few songs from them and also some random tracks that really highlight what I appreciate when it comes to electronic music. If you've never heard it before, you can try listening to these as well if you want.

    Omni Trio is fairly versatile as far as his electronic music goes... He started off with one of the most notable jungle albums in the mid '90s "The Deepest Cut" and advanced further and further into electronica and ambient music until his final release, "Rogue Satellite" in 2004.

    "Sanctuary" by Omni Trio (1999): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbk1qHIkUgM
    "Artificial Life" (2001): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMHFHvKeFGI
    "Higher Ground" (2001): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1aS-hi7h38
    "Earth Song" (2004): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUTGJbqsLjs

    Pendulum hasn't changed much over the course of their career. They don't have nearly as many albums as Omni Trio up there. Unlike many other electronic musicians, however, they incorporate many lyrics into their songs, but not all of them. They even perform live concerts with a full band. I suppose you could say Pendulum fuses rock and electronica. Sometimes they almost enter the realm of dubstep.

    "Propane Nightmares" by Pendulum (2008): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2j5uMYTnDE
    "The Other Side" (2008): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgwmnCMpGKw
    "The Island, Pt. 1: Dawn" and "The Island, Pt. 2: Dusk" (2010): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGow4nmYkkA
    "Slam" (2005): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch_5_x1IUA8

    Kavinsky is all about that '80s sound.

    "Pacific Coast Highway" by Kavinsky (2010): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5FKNViujeM
    "Wayfarer" (2007): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArtophI2ORg

    And then here are a few more random songs that I particularly enjoy:

    "Splash" by Sub Focus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lTmo_RdeWU
    "Winter Sun" by Break: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z7evArSoRg
    "Mystery Machine" by Ed Rush & Optical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLuxHTr23Ik
    "Spectre" by Aquasky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0v3oCEyYjM
    "Onyx" by CoLD SToRAGE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWcsWDKeNUw

    There you have it! Since electronic music artists sometimes don't even release full albums, sometimes electronic music is more about finding obscure tracks. However, many artists (especially the more popular ones) do have relatively easy-to-find albums.

    Please share your favorite artists & tracks!

    Love dance music Was a massive raver kid 17 - 22ish, and I still hit up gigs a few times a year when there's something special on. Got a pretty diverse taste, love trance, especially the harder stuff, loved hardstyle at one stage, though I don't like where it's gone as a genre, hardcore and hard nrg will always get me going. DNB, techno and tech-house I like in moderation, but they tend to get a bit repetitive for me.

    Here are some favorites:

    Was gonna embed them, but apparently you can't embed that many all at once and not gonna go back through and label them all individually. Click through randomly and see what you find
