Vaporwave...all of it. As well as some real 80s stuff (it's source material). Great things like Spandau Ballet

JAMES BLAKE "james blake" cd, 2010

career stats:
studio albums.....2
singles..............10

this album: #9 UK, #32 AU, #123 US
singles:
"limit to your love"...........#39 UK
"the wilhelm scream".......#136 UK
"lindesfarne/unluck".........no chart entry

this one is his debut set, was recommended to me by Tem..aint nowhere near as bad as his Portishead/Radiohead reco's though!
very ambient electronic stuff happening on this one..
lots of sparse sounds like Portishead though. overall sound is okay though,probably a cross between those portishead guys and say Moby, his "play" album cones straight to mind here.
lots of sound bytes/samples from what i can hear...some of that dreaded vocorder stuff also..
it does sound a bit self obsessed and over self-indulgent though.
its okay as an overall piece though

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene 7-13 - The long awaited sequel to Oxygene. It does not disappoint. He went back to all the old analogue synths to recreate the feel of the original and he has done it to perfection. Real electronic music. http://youtu.be/lVEAk5Lpwf0

Nice pun and thanks for sharing this mini-doc. I've always been fascinated by that first synthesizer, the theremin (been around since the 1920's and found by accident).: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNoR-SR5t1s

It's been hard to find modern electronic music that I like. House, Trance, Techno ...most of that stuff just annoys me .
I've always loved synths, from the first Who, Walter Carlos, ELP , Tangerine Dream kinds of things, but like with all music, I'm just really, really hard to please.

I do find some gems in with the psychedelic area , and out of that, there's Shpongle, and from them, there's this
wonderful bit of work : 'Invisible Man In A Fluorescent Suit '

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8D6ibgPKY8 5:20 and later is sublime

and another one from the same cd

Simon Posford and Raja Ram .... they're the real deal . As tripped-out as
anything needs to be, but sophisticated, original, and musically engaging .
Complex, but not annoying :biggrin1: (except for the ones that annoy me Cool)
that's my head and those are my chihuahuas
