OK, I'm done.

You've got New Wave confused with electro there. Gary Numan is considered to be New Wave, but not jean michele poncey jarre.

i like
Industrial and Darkwave

my one man band plays black metal with industrail and darkwave

I think one of my biggest pet peaves with peoples attitudes about electronic music is the fact that they naturally veer away from the stuff that really has soul and an icredible amount of intelligence (the dark, somber, and epic stuff that to me is transcendental in ways that any human instrument and vocal genre can rarely touch) and they complain that the funky cheese electronic disco lacks soul and character -its cheese, what do you expect?

Most of the other people I know as well who really like and feel this stuff the way I do feel the same way about the poppy stuff, the other stuff though it seems like you'll have people who really identify with it deep down in a way to where again, it's extremely transcendental. The other reaction is that someone hears something like they've never heard before in their lives and they start twitching out for about 10 seconds before asking you if you can put something else in (if it's in your car). Regardless though, good dark jungle illicits a response either way and even when it isn't recieved well I think it just comes off as too alien to some people's ears. Even with the techstep/darkcore/hardstep it's really only so well represented on that site - some good dancefloor jammers on there but none of the stuff that's loaded with the kind of emotion or depth that I'm talking about. Lack of exposure for most people to the stuff that does have soul or lack of open-mindedness to a type of energy they may have never felt before is what I really think closes people off to this genre though.

I remember many times when my friends would throw down some really good dark jungle sets, people would walk in, nod to it, look kinda slack-jawed like it was conceptually bouncing off of em, and that's usually the last you'd see of em for the night. It sucks that it works like that but I guess it's that fear of the unknown that really digs at people a lot of times.

i like mortiis ministry nin rammstein burzum godflesh alex empire atrini teenage riot

Whats a rave?

I was kind of confused as to why it categorized Rammstein as Industrial, are they?

Pump Up The Volume: History of House Music 1976-2002

3 part UK TV documentary - the following link will open a bitorrent download;

http://isohunt.com/download.php?mode=bt&id=7812154
Part 1: 1976-87
Part 2: 1988-89
Part 3: 1989-02

The later parts are very UK oriented, but the earlier episodes in particular chart the birth of house, acid, techno etc in the States, with lots of interview clips.

Thanks a bunch, psych!
I was into pop and whatever was playing on the radio, until I got a Dance compilation in 2000, which thankfully included songs like ATB - Don't Stop and Chicane - Saltwater. This got me wondering about trance, etc. and I realised this was the stuff I really liked. IMHO, the Total Euphoria compilations contain some of the best trance ever.

btw, for anyone who lives in driving distance of Toronto I just got an invite from Destiny productions for Destiny 53 - it's a Valentine's Day party technically from the theme but it has loads of really good dj's on the list.



If me and my friends do end up driving to that from Ohio in a few Saturdays I'm probably gonna spend the whole night in the main trance room since I'm really going to see Mark EG and John '00' Fleming (my 2 favorites in the trance world, even better if Mark EG throws down his hard swedish/acid techno).

You won't. Sorry, unless you tell him its christian rock or some other form of rock I'm sure it's a no go. If I ever do meet him or you, its gonna be when you decide to take another more social tour of Cleveland I think.

I don't really like the techno-electronic, I like another type of electronic, though, that being chiptunes or bitrock.

Music made by 8-bit consles. I love it, it's addicting music, surreal, happy, bouncy, and just plain clever and original.
