classifying front 242 (and EBM in general) as something outside of EDM is about the same as saying 1643 isn't a number.

Originally posted by Allied Nations I'm not sure if this counts, but the brand new beatles mashup album, hate, is super dope. It's not really dance music, but quality mashups of old and new beatles material with a seriou anti-war sentiments.

Wow... excellent find! I'm not even particularly fond of the Beatles, but this is excellent.

So its 70s prog-rock that you need? So, you have checked Pink Floyd and King Crimson (isn't the "in the court of the krimson king" a perfect album?) so now go straight for Van Der Graaf Generator and the albums "H to He,Who Am The Only One", "The Least We Can Do is Wave To Each Other" and the absolute masterpiece "Pawn Hearts". Long tracks alternating between complex quitar lines, harmonic organ atmospheres, jazzy explosions, classical movements, ethnic textures and anything goes as good 70s prog-rock does. Quite dark, epic, theatrical and spacey (with nice sci-fi theme and feel through-out the tracks) van Der Graaf Generator is the prog-rock group who unfortunately didn't get the recognition they deserved due to the singers voice, which, whilst is theatrical and delivers, is not one of the best ones you are going to find...


More good 70s prog-rock group are of course the spacey prog-rock group Camel and albums like "Mirage", "The Snow Goose" (quite "mythical" feel in this one) and the spacey "moonmadness". Also check, Gentle Giant and Genesis!


For more crazy and experimental 70s proggy stuff, you have to go straight to the german "Kraut-Rock" scene, the scene that spawned Kraftwerk amd Tangerine Dream and is largely responsible for the birth of electronic music. Classic Kraut-rock albums are:


Can: Tago Mago (the kraut-rock classic and one of the most influential experimental albums ever...dark ,spacey, psychedelic atmospheres...)
Can: "Future Days" (my personal favorite from Can. Their most "positive" album, it brings images of summer and white skies within its driving repeatetive dreamy textures. Four long absolutely fantastic tracks...)
Neu!: 2 (The second album by Neu! is excellent!Probably the inventors of EDM with their "Sound-Motorik", music which is comprised by repetetive rhytmic drumming and melodic lines on top. As someone described it, its like getting into a green futuristic car and driving on a neon-soaked highway (and that goes for detroit techno as well...)Of course try their first album ..."Neu!" as well...
Neu!: 75 (this is their third album and their best IMO. Six tracks, first three are just beautifull ambient masterpieces and the next three driving, ecstatic monsters!)
Harmonia 76: Deluxe (quite atmospheric, ambient-edged kraut-rock masterpiece! As long as i remember, members from Neu! and Brian Eno are involved. Excellent spacey album!)



This is from the 70s. Now in the 90s and the 00s we have prog-rock's return in the form of "post-rock". What is "post-rock"?Its usually highly experimental, but extremely melodic and classicaly edged instrumental rock music (which is usually just not plain rock but uses all these crasy effects in the quitars,and losts of synths, violins, distorted cellos and whole orchestras are in there...)Famous post-rock albums?


Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven (The post-rock bible. Double album comprised by four-as long as i remember-huuuge tracks. How can i express it? Its the epic sound of the end of the world played by a 12-piece or something band. Epic rock passages, orchestral crescendos, ambient static noise and radio intermissions all blended in an epic soundscape.MUST listen!!!or else you haven't listened to Modern Music!)
Mogwai: Happy Songs For Happy People: (These guys have some amazing melodies but not as epic as GY!BE. Very Good Instrumental post-rock, but NOT happy at all!)
Explosions in The Sky: The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place (the best heart-devastating, emotional, complex instrumental music you are going to get these days! These guys just play beautifull music...slow lullaby-like quitars exploding in huge epico-dramatic crescendos. Just Listen.Vocal-free. All four albums are excellent.)
M83: Before The Dawn Heals Us (imagine instrumental My Bloody Valentine -like reverbed sonic soundscapes blended with ethereal spacey ambient synths and Vangelis's cinematics. The result is just perfect. Listen to the epic and cinematic "lower your eye-lids to die with the sun" and understand what i mean...)
Red Sparrows: At The Soundless Dawn (another post-rock masterpiece considered by some to be better then GY!BE's LYSFLATH. This just can't be described!)
God Is An Astronaut: All is Violent, All is Bright. (synth-driven post-rock, lush dreamscapes blended with reverveb quitars. The result is beutifully emotional...)
A Silver Mount Zion: Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upwards (members from GY!BE formed this fantastic project. Largely Violin driven, the melancholic emotions generated from the violin and the quitar-play are second to none).
Sigur Ros: ( ) (Strange album title e?Well yes there is no title or anytother information, just a strange attractive white packaged cd. The music is like this...it sound like vast white spaces...the slow synths, quitars and the aalto singer's electric and distorted cello contribute to this. Strange operatic high-pitched vocals in this one. This experimental group from iceland actually got very famous all over the world...
Labradford: A Stable Reference: (best album by labradford IMO. These guys from Texas evoke the vast emptiness of the desert within their tracks. Imagine dark ambient played by heavily distorted and reverbed instruments by a conventional three-piece rock group. Beautifull just beautifull haunting ambient soundscapes coupled with the singers whispering poetry)

Other very good (some very new) post-rock bands are Set The Fire To Flames, Stars of the Lid, 65DaysofStatic, Yndi Halda, Caspian, Sparrows Swarm and Sing, El Ten Eleven, Life At These Speeds,Because of Ghosts,The Pirate Ship Quintet, The Evpatoria Report, Anoice... .

Well, these may get you started! I kinda liked it though , i'am a jerk for reviewing music that i like heh...

wow, thanks everyone. Gonna get busy today!

Petran, you disappoint me. All that talk of prog rock,and not even a bone thrown to Yes?
