Coil remix of NIN hacked the beejesus out of the vocals way back when. Honestly these are the only Trent Reznor lyrics I can even tolerate now. Skip to 1:28.

Btw I have a doozy for you but it’s not appropriate for this thread because we’re not supposed to post the worst things ever made. It’s a polyrhythmic electronic thing and lord have mercy.
So @Lawnmower_Man will settle down with the scatting and bebopping, here’s some Aphex Twin and Bjork:
I think some posters in this thread would like this mix, but don’t give me a hard time if you listen and don’t:

Meemo Comma is the solo alias of Lara Rix-Martin, a Brighton, UK-based electronic musician who runs the Objects Limited label and is also one-half of the duo Heretic alongside her partner Mike Paradinas aka μ-Ziq. As Meemo Comma, Lara creates adventurous genre-blurring music, often through a unique conceptual lens.
Her brand new third album Neon Genesis: Soul Into Matter² takes inspiration from Jewish mysticism and classic Japanese anime to explore a cinematic sci-fi-tinted electronic landscape that touches upon techno, breaks, IDM, synth-pop, footwork, and ambient styles.
In regards to her guest DJ mix for Midnight In A Perfect World, Meemo Comma says, “This mix blends the sounds of my teenage years; grime, bass line and dubstep. Like many have now started feeling, I’ve been missing clubs for years since being a mum, so this is my comfort zone.” A properly kinetic and bass-heavy zone, dig in to get a thrilling taste of underground UK club vibes.
P.S. You should have a sub with some low bass response or decent headphones for this set.
oh my sweet summer child.
What you hear in Au5 tracks is a lot of BT’s influence 
Have listened to BT for a long long time now. Incredible Technology is one of the most underrated EDM albums OAT. His new album is pretty good too. I think why he goes under the radar is he doesn’t really do the club scene and also he went into a weird classic synth kick in most of the 2010s when EDM went mainstream. I’ve seen him live twice and they were both pretty good live sets as well.
He was releasing 30 minute songs a few years ago when everything trended against that.

Alright, I’m going for it. It’s the wee hours of a Monday AM and I’ve been drinking and I’m posting German new-agey synth prog-rock from the 70’s. Yeah, it’s Tangerine Dream time.
One of the many reasons these guys are important is because all the retro synth stuff that’s been the rage for the past 6 or 7 years (I’m looking at you in particular, Stranger Things theme composer dudes) is like 83% straight theft from them. Also, folks are mostly doing that to evoke the 80’s, but it primarily comes from the previous decade. And also also, they looked like this, which is just… yeah.
Live in 1975. All the things, they’re here. Click around on the timer bar gadget and you’ll find them. Every one. Bonus: The absurdity of the venue and the sheer mass of equipment.
Studio album, 1979. Starts out pretty OK, then gets pretentious and boring, but then at 4:30 it goes dark and spacey and awesome and it stays there for another 10 minutes. Arpeggios for days.

I too think of pinball when I hear industrial music.
Not sure exactly what this is but sounds like it could be amazing. Any chance we could get access to this somehow?
I’ve listened to most of these now. A few reactions…
That Bossfight stuff is I think why they invented the phrase “HUUUGE DRRRROP!” lol.
The Kaskade track puts me in mind of this CHVRCHES song, also video-game related:
The Kayzo kind of makes me want to run away! I do occasionally like a full-on aural assault along these lines though:

This one probably deserves mentioning then:
I hope this doesn’t break the judgement-free zone rules, and if that’s zikzak’s favorite track ever that he played at his wedding and plans on playing at his funeral then holy shit I’m really sorry, but it’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently: Both of those two tracks are really shitty.
I mean, lol, that specifically isn’t what I’ve been thinking about; what I mean is that so much older electronic music sounds the way it does, and electronic music has followed this weird progression, not because the tools were primitive but because for a long time the technology just wasn’t widely available to everybody. Monetarily but also in terms of the cultural zeitgeist; a kid would ask for a cheap electric guitar and amp for christmas but wouldn’t think to ask for a cheap sampler and multitrack recorder. And there was no way their parents could afford a Fairlight. I love the pioneers for being pioneers but hate how a lot of it sounds like ‘Lol fuck you deal with it we’re the only ones with access to this technology, wait another 10-20 years if you want to see it actually be used creatively’. I mean, DJ Shadow made this only a few years later:
This is probably my favorite unaltered-sample-collage track of all time:
less words more block rocking beats

What’s weird is that I asked for the electric guitar but received the Casio SK-1.
Did they get you a two-track to go along with it? Getting you a sampler without a at least a two-track is just toying with your emotions. With both of those you can make any of the tracks I just posted. Les Paul made his early stuff using a two-track and I believe he invented the terming “bouncing” because he used to bounce stuff back and forth on a two track to keep layering it.
p.s. yeah
Paul is credited with many recording innovations. His early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound),[2] delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.[3] His licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day.[4][5][6][7]
astronaut 1 “it’s all electronic music?” astronaut 2 “always has been”
Holy fuck this is good. Maybe I’m just jaded and think this genre became so derivative and silly that I’m overly surprised when something is great but regardless, this is great.

Before I forget again,
That is amazingly thorough.

No. I was six years old and my parents weren’t musicians. Didn’t have proper recording capability until I got a computer in the 90s although I did have a tape deck I could run stuff into. Was just thinking that another piece of gear I have is the Talkboy from Home Alone.
