cosanostra Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I thought you claimed to know your music. That choon is not of the electronic genre. If, like me, you owned "Sugarhill Club Classics" you would know that. It's a drum machine and an 808 synth - don't get any more electronic than that. It's early electro, a pre-cursor to hip-hop in it's present form. Have a look at the discogs file http://www.discogs.com/release/65340 It says hip-hop as a genre but electro as style. I's agree with that. It's an electro tune but the fact that Melle Mel raps on it kind of makes it hip-hop. Any way, i wasn't speaking of electronic as a genre, i was more meaning music made with synths and drum machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have one of early house stuff from the mid-80s. If you're talking the late 80's Italo House stuff then aye, got to admit I'm a bit of a sucker for some of that! NOT the Italo-Disco mid 80's stuff though, that's jobbies. Also wouldn't mind the early house one you mention... Get yer links oot Craig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Sorry guys , but most of the music '*****ered' out in the '80's was crap. Check out VH1 etc when they do the 'best of 80's' that most of the videos that are on are lillian. I feel embarrassed to even admit I like the odd tune. The problem with any "best of" is they will populate it with the best sellers of the time - many of which were mince. If we fast forwarded twenty years would the "best of the noughties" likely contain songs which you currently like - or ones which you despise? The Eighties was the last decade which contained any musical originality - everything else since then has been a rehash/pastiche of what's gone before.

davemclaren Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I bought an OMD album in 1980 and it was ok. However, being a guitar player ( at the time ) I thought it was pretty soulless. Saying that I always thought Bill Nelson mixed electronic music with guitar very well. Be-bop Deluxe did some inteesting stuff and I had a few of their albums.

bighusref Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Apologies for repeats as I have not clicked on all links. Eighties electronica : Kraftwerk, New Order, Talk Talk and Paninaro all stick out. Also, given that BB has already mentioned him, the Blade Runner soundtrack is astonishingly good. Technically eighties electronica even though the album was not released (as we know it) until the nineties. As for early house, Joe Smooth - Promised Land (before Weller butchered it), Sueno Latino - Sueno Latino, Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It?, Rhythim Is Rhythim (sic) - Strings, Joey Beltram - Energy Flash, Hardfloor - Hardfloor Acperience, Slam - Eterna, Ettienne De Crecy - Prix La Choc, Last Rhythm - Last Rhythm and the finest of all, Future Sound Of London - Papua New Guinea.
