03.02.13 | I got the Delasora & Arosa artwork, but not the Nobukazu Takemura? Hmm.. I don't think it's worth the risk to edit especially when everything appears to be spelled correctly.
Anyways, please check these out and leave some feedback on these albums. I'm interested to know what you all think. |
Keyblade
03.02.13 | wow definitely checking 1-4. great list man |
Acanthus
03.02.13 | 2 and 4 sound cool depending on what type of glitch they go for. |
Yotimi
03.02.13 | Weird, I just picked up 5 yesterday after finding out your exact explanation from my bro. Are you him? |
MisterTornado
03.02.13 | Awesome list, Isan rules. |
BallsToTheWall
03.02.13 | Good list, ill check out a few of these. |

WeepingBanana
03.02.13 | i've seen Casino Versus Japan before
that shit rattled my bowels, way different than his recorded stuff |
geasoftime
03.02.13 | The only electronic act I've seen live was Squarepusher. He played bass for one of the tracks, which was pretty cool. I need to try to make it a point to see more than just metal shows.
I'm interested to see the reactions to these albums. Especially the first four. I've never had the opportunity to discuss any of these with anyone. People in the real world suck at music. |
WeepingBanana
03.02.13 | yeah CVJ opened for Deerhunter and i've been meaning to get one of his albums ever since. i've only heard a few songs here and there |
SupercolliderMusic
03.02.13 | E*VAX - PARKING LOT MUSIC. |
geasoftime
03.02.13 | @WB: You should get the album "Whole Numbers Play the Basics". It's the album that put CVJ on the map, probably the album that got them that opening slot. The only reason I didn't list it is because it was already in the database, and it's relatively well known. It's rated as a 3.2 here, but that's really not very accurate. Discogs has it rated at 4.31/5 with 144 ratings. |
geasoftime
03.02.13 | Supercollider, I'm going to download that album right now |
Hyperion1001
03.03.13 | 1 is fucking sweet this is exactly the kind of idm i love |
WeepingBanana
03.03.13 | hmm i haven't really been too into electronic music lately but i'm sure i'll check it out soon |

geasoftime
03.03.13 | Okay, well in that case, my first act as Electronic God on Sputnikā¢ will be to replace the "Other" tab with "Electronica". Let thy will be done! |
mindleviticus
03.03.13 | Holy fuck man, so much good stuff here, keep it up just like I do :] |
Havey
03.03.13 | "replace the "Other" tab with "Electronica"."
what |
geasoftime
03.03.13 | @Havey: Scroll to the top of your screen. In the red bar, there is no Electronica section. There really should be. It's a major genre, and much more important than either indie or punk which are really just subgenres of rock. |
Rev
03.03.13 | def gonna check these out |
Keyblade
03.03.13 | there used to be an electronic section. no clue why they got rid of it |
demigod!
03.03.13 | they seriously got rid of it? the hell |
mindleviticus
03.04.13 | So happy someone other than me has heard of 3. Such a good album. |
mindleviticus
03.04.13 | I might like Lucky Cat more than Plans Drawn In Pencil |
Kman418
03.04.13 | ugh I can't find a DL to 2 and it sounds so damn good |
geasoftime
03.04.13 | I like Salamander a whole lot too. ISAN's whole discography is like a 4 for me. |
YetAnotherBrick
03.04.13 | these all sound awesome |
tragic.details
03.04.13 | Cool, dude. I don't have enough electronica in my repertoire of sounds.
I'll definitely check them all out. |
geasoftime
03.04.13 | Cool. I hope you all enjoy these. |
Keyblade
03.04.13 | 1 and 5 are just ridiculous |
mindleviticus
03.04.13 | 6 is just like the best thing ever |
mindleviticus
03.04.13 | Happyfour Twenty is such a great song |
geasoftime
03.04.13 | I want christ.'s first two albums, Delicass Harmonium and Yugo 77, so bad. I don't think they can be found anywhere online though. |
WashboardSuds
03.04.13 | jeez I added that Twine shit to the db ages ago, I liked it for a while and tried to get people to listen but to no avail. but, I stopped liking them a while ago.

Kman418
03.04.13 | omg 2 is fucking amazing this is seriously blowing me away right now

Yuli
03.04.13 | Brb, featuring |
Keyblade
03.04.13 | i dunno if i've mentioned this but 1 is omgholyshitwtfisthis |
Typhoner
03.04.13 | interesting, I'll be definitely checking some of this stuff out |
Deathconscious
03.04.13 | 1 sounds like an IDM version of I Am Robot and Proud |
Deathconscious
03.04.13 | damn, can only find his first album. |
Keyblade
03.04.13 | 1 is amazing man hurry up and find it! |
Deathconscious
03.04.13 | 1 is his first album, ive got that and its kind of blowing me away so far, but i know im gonna want more. |
Deathconscious
03.04.13 | nvm, i guess its not his first album. |
geasoftime
03.04.13 | The Robotic Girl Next Door was his fourth album. The first three, Science Fiction, Oto: Ambient Collection, and The Grey Box, are all pretty good. After TRGND, he went downhill. He captures the sound in a few songs, but nothing consistent. |
Deathconscious
03.04.13 | where did you find them? |
Emyay
03.05.13 | listening to 1 now. liking it a lot |
tragic.details
03.05.13 | Listening to 9 and holy shit.
This is awesome. |
osmark86
03.05.13 | le bump, will have to check some of this out |
Emyay
03.05.13 | i listened to 1,2,3, and 5 this morning. I think 1 and 3 are my faves so far |
mindleviticus
03.06.13 | n5md is amazing |
StallionMang
03.06.13 | Check out Minor Cuts and Scrapes in the Bushes Ahead by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, if you're into that kind of noisy, lo-fi psych-tronica. |
geasoftime
03.06.13 | Thanks for the rec, Stallion. I've downloaded the album, I'm going to listen to it tonight. I hope it's something I'm into, because he's Merzbow-level prolific. |
StallionMang
03.06.13 | Be warned, you will most likely hate it upon first listen. It's very avant-garde, and takes a little time to appreciate. |
geasoftime
03.07.13 | edited: below. |
Kman418
03.07.13 | Gonna be checking out the rest of these after I get through the glitch recs you gave me |
geasoftime
03.07.13 | Everyone who liked the first few albums should definitely keep going and check out 5-10.
5 and 9 are really similar to Boards of Canada. 5 has every right to be, and 9 could conceivably be called an imitator, but they're particularly talented replications. Fans of Tycho, Lone (or Kona Triangle), Arovane, Loscil would dig these two.
8 is really good IDM, definitely worth hearing if you like Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Plaid, Squarepusher, Clark.
I should have mentioned that 10 has a significantly glitchy side to it, and everyone who liked edIT's Crying Over Pros For No Reason, or Oval (or albums 2 and 4) should give it a chance when you have the opportunity. His alter-ego, Prefuse 73 and Savath y Savalas (only really the first album, and first EP after which he starts doing a Spanish folk thing) are definitely both worth checking out if you dig DJ Shadow or Flying Lotus.
Let me know what you all think. |
StallionMang
03.07.13 | Sweet, I love Shadow and FlyLo. Have to check that out. |
geasoftime
03.07.13 | Definitely check out Prefuse 73 in that case, Stallion. You'll probably dig his album One Word Extinguisher |
StallionMang
03.07.13 | Hmm, sounds good. I'll have to pick up a copy. |
YankeeDudel
03.25.13 | shoot me em after you get em base |

bach
03.25.13 | I have to check out 5. Looks dope. |
Keyblade
03.25.13 | yep that's about right. wouldn't call it chiptune at all, but the influence is definitely there |
SupercolliderMusic
04.28.13 | E*Vax is quite good. |
Keyblade
04.28.13 | lol pots are u serious |
Deviant.
04.28.13 | None of these are really obscure, unless you don't actively listen to electronic music |
Keyblade
04.28.13 | out of the ashes... |
kitsch
04.28.13 | dont understand people liking glitch

Deviant.

Keyblade
04.28.13 | i get that, but it's relatively obscure. i mean, it's akin to saying for example Gorement is not obscure metal. yeah people who have an active interest in metal and death metal especially would probably have heard of them one way or another but they're pretty obscure relative to your Maidens and Metallica's or even Cannibal Corpses of this world.
for a little perspective, before this list it wasn't even in the database. on RYM where stuff like this is more appreciated it has a measly just 7 votes.
on last.fm, he is the least popular of NINE artists called Spark who have a combined whopping total of 12k listeners, with the top Spark being a female pop singer.
so yeah, i'd say it's pretty obscure |
kitsch
04.28.13 | Lol at deviant attacking people for saying shit isn't obscure, grow up kiddies.
Also, thx dev ill check those out. |
