So back to the original question...how is it that you don't like "electro shit" when you don't know what Electro is? Unless I am mistaken and you do know what Electro is. Do you know what Electro is?

People still make italo disco? I thought that faded away in the early 80's.

late 80s.. but the genre is vast it slowly turned into eurobeat and eurodance (M farina who was one of the pioneers in this genre) went on to produce eurodance with factory team and max coveri went from fast italo disco and is doing japanese soundtracks (initial d) in the eurobeat genre.

The style is done yes.. but theres soo much of it to explore (not to the same calibur of trance) but theres still alot of italo disco that was produced!

OMFG I lOvvveeeeee Legowelt!!!!!!! Ital-disco rules lol!!!But it's all about what do you mean by "electro" there is good and bad one as well... Vector Lovers for example make great Electro-y music and you can consider the new border community release-"gazebo" by fairmont as having electro and deep techno elements rather than todays absolutely trashy big-room standard progressive parts. Try to listen to the new ep by Artificial Arm-another great electro release i reckon. Also try Radioactive Man's albums (Rotter's Golf club are generally good.)

Let's not forget about electro clash as well.

What's your problem? I've already stated that I was referring to the stuff played in clubs nowadays. Last time I checked, your local club wasn't playing shit from 20 years ago. Yeah, I generalised when I used the word electro. Sue me.

What I fail to see is how you could not put two and two together. Apparently you're just another TA who would rather antagonize others regarded genre-elitist bullshit than actually discuss the fucking topic at hand. Cease this hair-splittery.

EDIT: Douchebag.

Maybe you should concentrate on the guy who just called you an idiot. I believe his name is Nrg2Nfinit, the...Italo Disco addict. He's a bigger douche than me, at least I didn't insult your intelligence. Next...

That's all some kind of regular house ("prog", "disco", "funky", "french", whatever) with a buzzing synth. Aka, not electro-anything. Except for the Pryda track...only because of the vocoder and beeps and zaps. Heh. Maybe it's electro-house. But the rest...no....I don't think so...

I wouldn't say a lot. I would say very little to none.

For a while it did. But people make it now, though it's not called italo disco anymore. If you go by what some people call Nu-Italo(disco), then it's made by groups like...Prezioso...which is basically eurodance with vocoders. BUT, the real "nu" italo disco being made these days is called Space Synth. Check it out at www.spacesynth.de . It's the modern day Laserdance/Koto/etc.

Is a genre war really worth typing all that up? I admire your enthusiasm, for real, but what is this solving?

Look at this worthy and problem-solving post. You've really got a handle on things, buddy. For real. I've got some questions for you Qui-Gon. Is your life really worth waking up every morning? I admire your enthusiasm, but what are you solving by breathing? A pre-algebra equation?

who says that all this bullshit is true?
do you have a fuckin license to classify genres or are you the authority that decides? without looking at the thread me and everyone can conclude that your post is fuckin ridiculous...
everyone has their own genre classification and considers songs to be a genre that for others may not...now fuck off!

I got news for you: Everyone isn't right. Everyone is you, ignoramus. I decide what is electro because I know it when I hear it. Yes indeed, Electro is my favorite genre, and i'm listening to an Electro Funk classic from 1981 at the moment. Like I said, how can you hate Electro, or say what you just said about me when you have no idea what Electro is? Give me a break "deiberio". I can name Electro classics from 1977-present. I can tell you where Electro came from and where Electro has been through that time, and where it is now. Which is more than you can say for yourself. Hurl useless insults at people? Good job dumbass.

I must say, that in addition to being one of the five Istari, Aiwendil knows his music.

Posted by Aiwendil on Nov-27-2005 09:00:

I don't know my music. I just really like Electro. Or I really did recently, until I got bored. Now I will probably look up disco and/or funk. Someone give me more trax like Roy Ayers - Running Away. Don't make me look for it myself, i'm on tranceaddict, where that never happens. Oh wait, i'm on tranceaddict.

I realize I haven't actually proven that I know what Electro is, but then, why don't you prove that you know what Trance is? What do you want me to do...tell you where Electro came from?...how it got its name?...name an electro track from each year spanning 1980-present?...let's go.

I don't know it all about Electro either. Just recently Ishkur himself showed me (and everyone else) that electro-house does exist. I had not thought it existed before. But he named artists, only one of which I was familiar with. I looked em up, and yeah, I see how they would be electro-house. I'm learning all zee time. Though I don't see that i'll be discovering much about electro-house soon, as it's not nearly as FUNky as the real thing. It's there. I know roughly what it sounds like. That's all I need to know.

I guess one of the major problems is that so few people know what Electro is here. There's me, possibly Alphastarred, Beats and Beeps, Ishkur, possibly NRG2INFINIT(orwhatever).....that guy earlier who posted about Radioactive Man...

Eeeeh...by the way, if you think i'm an Electro elitist, you should see the fellows over at Discogs. "OZGM ELECTRO CAN ONLY BE BREAKBEAT AND ANYTHING WITH 4/4 IS TECHNO WTF I WAS ALIVE WHEN IT HAPPENED! IN '82 AND '83 I SLAMMED THAT CHEWN IN ALL THE NYC UNDERGROUND CLUBBZ RIGHT BESIDE BAMBAATAA AND GRANDMASTER FLASH. BY 1984 I WAS USING PLANET ROCK VINYL AS A COASTER FOR MY ARTHRITIS MEDICATION-INFUSED GINKOBALOBA GREEN TEA CUPS! SHORTLY AFTER IN '85 I STARTED USING IT AS A FRISBEE FOR MY DOG CLIFFORD! SO I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG! KRAFTWERK IS SYNTHPOP! WOO!"

Old bastards.
