Check this one out actually, it's one of his most recent that he's released on his website as a single. |
Thanks, sidewinder, and I'll check out more of Amon Tobin's work, but you know, what I really like about Eskamon's "Fine Objects" is the menacing feel of it, which Tobin's "Twelvses" song lacks. I've listened to "Fine Objects" several times now and definitely prefer it to more melodious electronic music, which feels too placid and pretty to me.
Similarly, I like the song Jackhammer posted. I like the staccato rhythm with the unexpected silences and the abstractness of it. Also, I especially like the feel of the song Dieselboy posted, "Venom," by Sinister Beats. I like the sinister feeling of it.
So, what kind of "electronica" does this mean I like? Is there a name for electronic music with a sinister feel? I think I like the music because it sounds as if the whole world is shattering down around me. And maybe I like that partly because then afterwards I look around me and think, "Hey! It's not so bad!" Also, I tend to acknowledge the awful side of things, so I like music that captures that feeling.
