Best electronic................................

[Kasualty]

Who is your favorite electronic music band. Whether they do Techno, House, Trance, Jungle, Breakbeat, Downtempo, or Hardcore. I think i've covered all electronic genres.... Anyway, what is your fav. electric. band?

I am going to have to go with this guy
newgrounds.com/audio/view.php?id=223677&sub=2033
I know he makes music on his computer, but still I could find about 100 bands on the radio with major labels and all the shtick that can't compare to this guy.

Also Aphex Twin and Daft Punk kick major ass.

My favorite electronic song is Eels' cover of "Jelly Dancers". Listen to it. Love it.

Feindflug, especially "In Gefangenschaft."

If you like Aphex Twin, try:
Squarepusher
Bogdan Raczynski
Venetian Snares (freakin awesome stuff)

And, of course, there are the other monikers of Aphex Twin.....AFX, Polygon Window, Caustic Window, And probably a few others I can't remember.

Aphex Twin is terrific.

Sufjan Stevens has an incredible electronic album called Enjoy Your Rabbit, which I highly recommend.

 

[Oblivious]

DJ Tiesto, but he really isn't a "band" Erasure is another one of my favs...

 

[Murmur]

Aphex Twin/AFX
EBN
Kraftwerk (old skool)
Haujobb

 

[Kasualty]

you missed New Wave

my fave new wave artist=Pete Shelley

New Wave falls under House music. Google for "Iskurs guide to electronic music."

 

[stonetoflesh]

Hmm, my favorite electronic music "bands"? Well, if you put it that way:
Shpongle
Tangerine Dream (Franke/Froese/Baumann lineup)
Zorch
Ozric Tentacles
Droid
MIMEO

Squarepusher, Rapoon, Aphex Twin, Robert Rich = , but not bands...

 

[cjedick]

ELO, if it is considered electronic!

 

[Links234]

Aphex Twin/AFX
EBN
Kraftwerk (old skool)
Haujobb

Agreed, though I'd classify Haujobb as industrial.

 

[VirOptimus]

Skinny Puppy, hands down, although I guess they may be more of a industrial band.

 

[TheDandyMan]

Bexarametric is another one of those guys who makes music from his home and what have you. He did go to Europe on tour this summer, though, so he's acheived some pretty great success for a bedroom artist.

 

[brightlights]

Ratatat.

New Wave falls under House music. Google for "Iskurs guide to electronic music."

Eh, I wasn't all too impressed by that guide when I checked it out a few months ago, except for the gigantic amount of branching that it has in it. Progressionally speaking, New Wave (as in A Flock Of Seagulls, Duran Duran, etc.) falls under the Post-Punk umbrella, but did have a fair share of electronic influence.

My tastes in electronic music are pretty much across the Rock-Electronic fusion boundary line and Club music areas. Industrial (et al), Alternative Dance, Electronic Rock, Trance, etc.

If you mean pure 'Electronica' (I hate that term), I'd have to say E Nomine scores pretty high. I just don't know where else to classify them.

 

[Links234]

E Nomine <3

 

[minus]

Industrial is electronic, so is IDM. Both should be included in any discussion on electronic music. Anyways, here's my list...

Skinny Puppy
Download
Aphex Twin
EBN
Meat Beat Manifesto
Autechre

 

[Kasualty]

Thanks for all these artists that you are mentioning, I haven't heard of alot of them.
