^^^You're not too bright, buddy. Let me put it to you this way. The first 'electro scene' was synonymous with the b-boy scene in North America, because of its use of breakbeats and ties with hip hop. The first 'scene' in which electro flourished was the streets of New York, onto which it was transported by Kraftwerk and Afrika Bambaataa in the late 70's and early 80's. Alright?

LieberDJ, all that stuff you mention is all well and good, but it's missing one key component that is absolutely essential to electro, and is absent from all other works because only American black funk musicians understand it so well: Bass.
Miami is the home of the mothering bass
Detroit motorcity is always in the place
Germany can't you see is where it all began
Kraftwerk and Bambaataa had a master plan |
Ironically, that song was written by two white guys. |

what, do you find it hard to believe that a man of my age would listen to electronic music? you must be young and ignorant |
What the hell does that have to do with my statement?
I was just noting your registration date is last month. Usually people dont come round here spouting bout how they knows all about how electro began until they've gained some miles on the forums. Im guessing you gained your miles on another account. One would need miles to realize how much an electro thread stirs up the MD... |

Ernest P. Worrell & Gallagher
Never heard of them making music? Of course not.
That's why they call this the sound of underground. |

but ABBA started the electro scene, and theyre good, so maybe i do like it lol :D |
1. No, ABBA are not electro. They're disco and whatever else, I don't care.
2. They didn't start a scene. ABBA are pop music. Pop music is not a scene. The whole idea of pop music is that you don't have to get into it and understand the whole concept to like it. It is universal and just plain lacks specifics. Electro however is a scene, and it is a culture. |

There's a statement I made in my electro repsponse that went overlooked on my part and that was this:
"First of all it's a coincedence that Planet Rock sounds like Numbers."
I admit I was wrong in saying this and I apologize for any confusion I might have caused. Also 'Trans-Europe Express' was released in '77 not '78. Thanks to Radagast for that one. Other than that I still stand by the rest of the content in my response. |
