I dunno, I thought I felt something cave in around my lower left abdomen.

I've noticed this trend. Eurodance seems to be getting on the electro bandwagon as well. This for instance.

http://www.annekevanhooff.be/

Her new song is awesome though, even with the slighter electro touches. Actually it's better than her first song.

You know it's the new trend when euro takes it on, so electro is the new sound.

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!

I love Italo! *goes to listen to Savage*

Not Electro...electroclash..maybe. Not Electro...that's the theme song from some NES video game. 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...

why is the legowelt track not electro? it's got the exact same feel as space invaders are smoking grass for instance. is it cause it's not a breakbeat track?
and that danza 8.5 track, cause it has the melody from a nes game it's not electro??

and for those "electro house" ones, i just meant that people call everything with an unfiltered bassline electro these days it seems.

Wow, nice try there but "Categorizing" things can be extremely difficult at times...i'm a psychology graduate and as the lecturer in the cognitive psychology module used to say "people , create "schemas" about things, store them as re-presentations and organize them into categories in order to cope for an ever-changing and continuous chaos which is the real nature of the social world and the environment in general...category boundaries can be dull or absent because in reality they are NO category boundaries...humans with their limited information-processing brains "highlight" some points of that ever-changing and continuous huge sea of information. These highlights are used as the "exemplars" (templates). From that point any new incoming information will be "matched" and stored close to an allready existent "exemplar" in a "discrete" manner even if the true nature of information is "continuous". In this way, "semantic net-works" are constructed. Therefore, categories while they are economical and dynamic till a certain point can hardly be objectively accurate and hold realistic representations of the objective environment.
This means, that while you've used your previous experiences (categorized schemas in categories)in order to create the current categories you've presented here, these are hardly the true categories because true categories don't exist!!!e.g IF used some specific commondor like sounds but in a 4/4 beat, legowelt have some commondor like sounds and 80s influences in general but can be more melodic and even dark and gothy at times yet the press characterizes both groups as "italo-disco" although they hardly resemble alexander robotnick and giorgio moroder! We also have to understand that the press also creates some "genres" or brings some back for advertising
and financial resons rather than for the sake of the music itself! Of all these don't mean that categories don't exist they mean that they are innacurate because of their discrete nature!Of course there are centres of narrative gravity such as an item will resemble more one thing than another but that's all there is (it is still true that the elements of trance are "sounding" different than the elements of electro although some times the difference can just be in the effects and distortions used!.)
Of course it is clear that you have a rich knowledge of electro music but... do you know stuff like Evil's toy, Funker Vogt, Project Pitchfork, Download, VMV Project, Coil, Einsturzende Neubauten, Liaisons Dangerouesess, the legendary Cabaret Voltaire...(of course these pseudo-cool stuff i mention ar nothing more than f*cking dark nazi mainstream 90s EBM(damn't these genres/categories...)!Exclusions are the last bands which are legendary 80s industrial bands...(or EBM???oops I'm falling in category and genre-defying mistakes again... )

Umm. It's probably electro-house. It has some electro sounds like you say. T3h chickachickachicka thing and the vocoders. But the kick and the bassline and the other synths sounds like house to me. Probably electro-house. As you can see I know all about music. Chickachickachicka. The bassline in both of those are similar. The high-pitched synths are similar. But those things aren't what make electro.

Err. Nevermind. I somehow got the wrong track earlier in my RealPlayer. It was some messed up song. Yeah that Danza 8.5 track is electro.

for instance

freestyle dance from the 80s

with teh cow bells and synth hits

you can call those electro elements


sebastian ingrosso's remix of euro has those cowbell hits which give it taht electro touch

miss kitten's simple jabbing track style have electro elements bassline percussion etc


kraftwerk can be defined as pure electro
