Favourite non-dance electronic tune of the moment?
 

You know, the stuff not necessarily meant for the dance floor. Whether it's IDM, downtempo, nu jazz, trip hop, industrial, ambient, whatever. Electronic music for the head and not the dance floor. Some is still dancey of course, but you know what I mean. Not trance, house, etc. What track's doing it for you at the moment? YouTube vids encouraged.

Here's one I've enjoyed a lot over the last few years, to get started.

Ambient + traditional Native American music + maybe a little bit of jazz:

Nice thread! My library isn't too great in this respect but I like these at the moment.

Yay! I am a HUGE Plaid fanboy. :love: Exactly the kind of stuff I'd be posting in this thread. :thumb: I downloaded the Warp20 (unheard) that this track is on, but have only played it once so far. Nice track. Can't wait for them to finally release their new album.

Never heard of Williams, not bad. A bit on the house side but it's chill, slower and I like the low bass.

Pretty nice song, I haven't listened to any múm before. I think I always assumed they were post-rock. Not that that has kept me from listening to them, I do listen to post-rock. I see that this is a remix though, maybe their normal studio work is less electronic?

This is a Tangerine Dream track:


Itself a re-imagining of a track from another soundtrack of theirs (Thief). Great tune.

Fantastic Czech band for me:

How good was this album?:

I downloaded that Ecstasy of Saint Theresa album recently but I haven't played it yet. I've only heard the track that was part of a monthly comp recently.

And why are you putting rap in here? :p:

Nice songs in here. I like that Plaid song alot as well, VERY chill.





^Has been getting stuck in my head like crazy lately.

I put Disposable in here as I think that the beats used courtesy of Meat Beat Manifesto are interesting to say the least :(

Haven't listened to it yet. ;) I was just surprised since it's a hip-hop track...you should have said something about the beats!

I first heard it on the Warp 20 album too :)

Thanks, I had a feeling it was a cover. I suppose I should add Tangerine Dream to my 'To Do' list

Well of course...that's the only place that track has been released. ;)

Currently digging this.



I don't know what the hell that picture is all about.

Currently playing this album, and this track just came on. The song is responsible for getting me hooked on this artist a few months ago, when the single/EP was released.

Not too bad. Had trouble focusing and spent more time staring at the "ghost of a cow/dog with pimply butt-cheeks" or whatever...trying to figure out exactly what it was.

I liked the Kelpe song alot though, thats not bad :)

It doesn't help that the "ghost of a cow/dog with pimply butt-cheeks" song is pretty compressed, I only have it on mp3 but the bass is much more impactful than the compressed version in the video. Still, just a chill song...nothing mind blowing.

Was just listening to this song. Its just a really laid back tune that never fails to put a smile on my face. Love the bass line.

I like this^ not too keen on the whole mouth thing in the video though....:)

I've listened to Luna City Express - Orange Soft-Cake a lot over the weekend but unfortunately I can't find a link for it. Their sound is deep house usually but this is downtempo and probably deserves more credit than it will get.

I am you By Shpongle

I don't have enough posts yet to post the video, check it out on youtube.

Maybe this should go in the "dance tune" thread...I'm not entirely certain on this, but oh well. Read about this song on Pitchfork a few days ago and absolutely LOVE it.



Song doesn't start till 15 seconds in, but jeez...this song is just so dirty...in more ways than one. So good. :)

I finally got Double Figure yesterday! I think it's fair to say I'm well on the way to becoming a fanboy too!

Someone recommended this song to me. Just listen :)

That's not bad...a little chipmunky sounding, but not bad. :P The little piano bits I liked a lot, and at 3:30 it did something that I swear was taken right outta Final Fantasy 7. Was kinda one of those moments in a song where you sorta "wake up" and you're like, "whoah what?!". But yeah, good stuff. :)

I have posted this before but this recent album which is basically a collab between DJs Diplo and Switch is groovy as fuck:

"Listen to the Future" by Free the Robots



I listened to their EP as I was driving through a snow storm last night, did a very good job at calming me down.

Those both sounded very good while staring at my tropical desktop wallpaper. I need to get more music with Xylophone's :P

Will be checking out the above posted vids...but for now, I'm enjoying this tune from the album From The Double Gone Chapel by Two Lone Swordsmen.

At the moment...


Sixtoo - Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man/Part 2


Stendeck - The Day I Saw You Cry For The First time
A classic album

I recognize the spelling sample, it (or something very similar) was used on Harmonic 313's recent album When Machines Exceed Human Intelligence.

:yeah:

You know he's done making music under that alias, right? :(

Checkout his Brutal Funk E.P from 2007. I need to get some more of his stuff.

That was tasty.

Been listening to some stuff by an artist called Nucleya lately. A dubstep producer with a lot of Indian style and influences in his music. Of his stuff this song really sticks out to me though.

The youtube description says, "An old indian classical composition, Re-done in a cinematic / classical / dub step style. Vocals by Shruti Pathak and Shane Solanki."

I think it's very cool. :)

I was diggin' this on my headphones at high volume yesterday.

How did I not notice this thread before?!

As of this moment, probably this one...


With pleasure :thumb: I'll have a nose around the web for it in a bit.

Classsssic!

Sounds pretty dance-floor-y to me! ;)

But it's trance :confused: WTH dances to trance. This song is what I think of when I see "dance floor".. and this one is also from 1993



Yes, it is horrible. Just as most dance and house music is. Trance, imo, is too expressive (or "emotional" if you will) to be danceable. In any case, here's a song far from the dance floor

This sounded pretty great, gonna check out more of this I think. :)

Haha, that brings back memories. I used to be really big into the whole Industrial Strength and Digital Hardcore type stuff. Also own every album in the Industrial Strength series. I've sorta grown outta it a little bit, but still cool to listen to every once in awhile. :D

A lot of people dance to trance, it's one of the major dance-oriented subgenres of electronic music. And you include a lot of trance in the "favourite dance tune of the moment" thread, right? I'm just sayin, I created this thread to separate a bit from that. That's all. I'm not mad about it, just trying to keep the two ideas separated a bit.
