MARRS - Pump Up The Volume!

It's not cause it's electronic that it's dance music I think they mean

i think a lot of early stuff wasn't 100% dance oriented anyway.. it was much more of an experimental thing back then.

Mike Oldfield uses some synthesizers, yes, but that doesn't make it EM.
I know alot of other groups, including Rock that use synths, they're still not EM...

the music is based on pads, synths and samples as well as using instruments. that makes it electronic music in my books

Just remembered that I forgot to mention 808 State as well.

Ok, I guess you could. So, this could be called one of the earliest forms of EM?
It's hard for me to call Oldfield EM, I've liked him since very little and never thought of him as an EM musician

Oops, I read the post wrong then. I thought he was talking about like real EDM tracks that have stood out from other. Like real songs that get you in a "trance".

Apologies

Unfortunately for you, those tracks are neither.

Have you even heard the tracks? There isn't a single synth in either of the original Tubular Bells sides. Tubular Bells 3 was quite synthy from what I remember of hearing it 5 years ago, but not the original. There's a list of instruments used on the back of the album, and no synths are used.

maybe i am mixing it up with tubular bells 3 then, i remember quite a lot of pads and samples..

it was years ago the last time i actually heard it tho

Legendary Albums

Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene (released 1977)
Vangelis - Albedo 0.39 (released 1976)
Brian Eno - Discreet Music (released 1975)
Klaus Schulze - Timewind (released 1975)
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra - 1974
Tangerine Dream - Electronic Meditation - 1970

AFX - We are the music makers

Legendary tune!

I would consider much of Roxy Music's first two (Roxy Music & For Your Pleasure) with Brian Eno precursors to todays EDM.

Also David Bowie's Low & Heroes

How about: LA Style - James Brown is Dead
Eon - The Spice

Jane Michele Jare remains the bigest pioneer of electronic music. I still can`t see nowadays concerts like he had.

Pink Floyd - Meddle was released in 1971. "One of These Days" is classic.

Yea, his electronic synth music gave a whole new meaning to the "chillout style" back in those disco-days!
Even remakes like: "shane54 - Equinoxe 4" spots several sound effects that are exactly the same as in the original!

Ugh, how could I have forgotten Cybotron.

More off the top of my head:

Underworld - Cowgirl
Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison
Plastikman - Spastic

hmm, I'll think of more later.

Tiesto plays to 40,000 people in a stadium like Oakenfold did but no one touches ol Jarre. He played to 2 million people on Bastille Day in the early 90's and people turned up for his free concert. I want to get a hold of him and interview him.

Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock

dj sammy - heaven













underworld - rez

Nice picks. There are some synths in them.

Pump Up The Volume (Documentary)

Anyone seen this documentary about the history of house music???

It contains loads of classic tracks including early Chicago House from De Vit, Levan, Knuckes et al, the first Acid House track, the first Techno track by Derrick May....and so on.......

I can't remember all the names exactly, so maybe someone can help me out, bu it was very informative, and contains a lot of interviews with influential producers who produced "classics".
