What is your favorite style(s) of electronic music?

DarkPsyFanatic · 07-24-2007, 07:32 PM

Wow, i'm surprised I didn't see a thread on this yet. Anyway, i'm pretty sure we all enjoy electronic music of some variety(and if you don't, why are you here?

), but what is your favorite style or styles? Electronic is one of the most diverse genre's in all of music, and it's very easy to like some styles and abhor(I love that word!) others. My favorite styles are Ambient(and all varients), Psy Trance(and most styles based off it), and Industrial, although I enjoy most other types as well. So what music gets you going, and which music gets you reaching for the "stop" button?

From Wiki:

The term "techno" is derived from the word technology. Music journalists and fans of the genre are generally selective in their use of the term, careful not to conflate it with related but distinct genres, such as house, trance and hardcore. At the same time, "techno" is commonly confused with general terms such as electronic music and dance music. Techno is characterized by heavy use of percussion and a minimal amount of melody.

I think a good chunk of what I listen to would be considered ambient or house, just not happy hardcore. No offense, just not my thing.

Honestly, i've always cringed at the word "Techno"

it sounds like the kind of word some balding middle age executive would use for something he doesn't even understand, but that the "kids seem to like"

Ambient &Trance. It really depends what I am doing when I am hearing something too. Trance for me is good when I am trying to relax. Ambient is more for when its time to drink.

Any particular style of trance you prefer, or do you just mean in general?

Either way, I agree about the mood bit. Different moods for different music!

I like Trance and House.

I like Trance mostly, the relaxing beats are almost the only thing that can calm me down on a bad day.

I've always really been into Trance music of all varieties, and it's probably what I listen to the most of. The sound, the energy, there's nothing like it!
