Robot Rock? smdh
Da Funk, surely
You'd have to get some retro like
Blue Monday in there too if you're saying electronic music from every era.
Better pick Around the World or Da Funk...

Bit too big mate dot go overboard
http://www.memehumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/o-rly-640x474.jpg
True.
But on this occasion imma give a free pass for mentioning Sunscreem. Woulda gone for Pressure US, personally, but tis a minor quibble.
My fave Sunscreem song is 'Chasing Dreams' or 'When'
Hard to decide...
This is silly
'electronic music' is too broad a term to base a compilation album on, may as well ask what songs we'd put on a 'now that's what I call music with guitars in it'.
Electronic music is a specific genre. There's clearly a difference between let's say Roygbiv and Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Electronic music it's music produced with electronic devices (synths, samplers, theremin, drum machines etc). It sounds quite different compared to traditional music. It's called electronic for obvious reasons. With traditional instruments you can't create the sounds made by synths.
PS: There are of course hybrids like electronic rock, electronic jazz, electronic folk etc.
Missed my point a bit there didn't you?
Or am I just not making any sense?
You said "'electronic music' is too broad a term to base a compilation album on,...".
I made it more specific.
you defined 'electronic music' for me, then told me there are subgenres
things that I'm well aware of.
Basically I wanted to say that...
...electronic music has some features that makes it quite easy to be identified despite being a broad term (like rock for example). Hope that makes sense.
'Electronic musicc' is easily as broad a term as rock.
Xtal
innit
I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention this
I wanted to mention Xtal but I put Heliosphan instead
poor move
deep-blue
I'll let you off this time
because your list was pretty damn good

Come on, Johnny Jewel is probably one of the best artists producing electronic music around right now.

Competition is up here if you want to resubmit any of your answers into the competition
http://drownedinsound.com/news/4145535-help-us-compile-the-ultimate-electronic-music-playlist-and-you-could-win-a-bag-of-records
some excellent and not so excellent selections in this thread....
....but here you go ,this Spotify playlist is already packed full of beauts:-
http://open.spotify.com/user/apl1927/playlist/3TbbRCZXf03B3iOdaXaxI7
Jeff Mills - Metropolis
on it's own as a bonus disc.
already posted this on the competition page...
So many missing from that first list, but i'll just add a couple that mean something to me.
Justice vs Simian- We Are Your Friends: Such an important track to a lot of people my age in introducing them to EDM (Me Included)
Aphex Twin- Four: Was Leant the richard D James album and this just completely blew my mind as the opening track.
The Proxy- Dancing in the Dark: Hearing this track on a good speaker system is like having a chainsaw through your skull- in the best way possible!
radiohead- Idiotique: A gateway track for so many people that, I'm afraid it warrants attention.
(and finally, though possibly pushing the boundaries a bit)
Death Grips- Hacker: like a brave new world of electronic music. I'm not even sure what it is, but I love it!
Raymond Scott - Lightworks
Spooky - Stereo
Is fab
Agree
Also Little Bullet Part One
I'm going for influential electronic music
Donna Summer - I Feel Love
Depeche Mode - Get The Balance Right!
Autechre - Arch Carrier
No I Feel Love, no Blue Monday, arguably. Sure, there were other possible influences on New Order in 1983 but they can all be traced back here, I think.
The Belleville Three have cited DM as a huge influence and you can trace that back to Get The Balance Right! So, no DM, no techno.
Whilst other tunes from Autechre's LP5 are clearer influences on tunes from Kid A (Melve - Kid A; Vose In - Idioteque), I can just tell Thom Yorke loved Arch Carrier like one of his own.
Good list but nothing from Kraftwerk?
I went for 3 only
because I put this up on the competition page too.
It was a tough choice between Kraftwerk (probably Trans-Europe Express) and Get The Balance Right! as an influence on techno.
I went for the less obvious one and also wanted 3 tracks from different decades. Not sure why!
I didn't know that Get The Balance Right! had so much importance
It's one of the lesser known DM songs.
It's all about context
My understanding is that it wasn't lesser known in Detroit in the early-to-mid 80s.
Back in the 80s, DM had a bigger standing in the US, relative to their peers, than they did in the UK.
Hence "Good Evening, Pasadena" and all that. I remember the first time I saw 101, at a friend's house, and thinking, Depeche Mode are THAT big?
Also I think that Trans-Europe Express had more influence on techno than Get The Balance Right!
Esp. when you consider the song Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa that was based on Kraftwerk' song.
""Planet Rock" is a 1982 song by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force. The background and hooks featured Marvella Murray, Yvette Murray, Melissa Johnson and Sandra Wheeler. Although it was only a minor hit in the United States, Canada, and UK, it helped change the foundations of hip-hop and dance music. It is credited with developing the electro style, building on the work of Kraftwerk and Yellow Magic Orchestra, and helped pave the way for other genres such as techno, house, and trance." (Wikipedia)
Yeah, most likely
Like I said, I went for a less obvious influence. The link between Depeche Mode and Detroit is a surprising one, which is why I remember it. Here's a bit more:
http://www.johnmccready.co.uk/depeche_mode_in_detroit.htm
Inner City - Big Fun
Detroit
F.U.S.E. - Dimension Intrusion
F.U.S.E. = Richie Hawtin
I would love DiS to run an article to celebrate 20 years of Warp's Artificial Intelligence series
The 20 year anniversary of the the original compilation has passed already but all of the original albums from the series were released in 1993.
It's still astonishing how many careers that series launched/kick-started.
Capital idea that. Go for it Sean!
ok i know this is way too long but http://open.spotify.com/user/oda1990/playlist/66EhYZy4LEvZ5OOQPMC4UE
i only posted this 'cause no one had mentioned raymond scott & i thought 'what were all my yrs on DiS in vain?' - but then i ctrl+f(ed) & they had so ...
I did.
..the man's a god!
The Orb - Toxygene
Known for its wall-shaking rhythm. Initially it was a rejected remix of Oxygene 8 by Jean Michel Jarre. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWvI9tmmcP0
And by the way, the original wonderful Oxygene 8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CsqFOhNN0k
Jean Michel Jarre - Chronologie 4
Outstanding song with a great music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiriKdwQwJg
This is one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard.
Can't believe Throbbing Gristle haven't had a mention
