The Mandatory "What are you listening to now?" thread

[Ennui]

There is only electronica.

Apparat - Interrupt

 

[Cavalry]

technically, it can all be sub-categorized as trance, electronica, psychedelic, hardstyle, euro dance, club, dance, etc...
but I generally refer to it as techno

 

[kineaesth]

Kids With Guns (Jamie T's Turns To Monsters Mix) - Gorillaz

There is only electronica.

Exactly. Techno is a specific style, which (god help us) might be coming back in soon. Techno is what ignorant people call electronica.

**** me this album is good.

 

[Qonfused]

Techno makes people think of club music.

Electronic is different. Pointless conversation anyway.

[Ennui]

Apparat - Wooden

 

[kineaesth]

DARE (Soulwax Remix) - Gorillaz

But isn't club music technically called Dance? This song is dance. Straight outta Compton dance.

 

[Qonfused]

Eh, you could pick hairs there. I dunno. I generally find that people (non-electronic-listening people, a.k.a. everyday people) mostly think of techno as club music. Saying "electronic" for everything else separates from it, at least in my experiences.

Julie and Candy by BoC

 

[Ennui]

Electronica is a better word IMO.

Apparat - Schallstrom

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Kelly Bailey - What Kind of Hospital is This?

 

[kineaesth]

El Manana (Metronomy Remix) - Gorillaz

Because Electronica sounds like... Something. Electronic is just, like, how it's made?

 

[Qonfused]

Saying electronic gets away from the club stuff. Plus, a lot of different, varying music is "electronic" so saying techno leaves the wrong impression. Apparat is electronic, but if I called it techno, people would automattically assume it's some club track with a rolling bassline and four on the floor. And, as Ennui said, it just sounds better.

[Ennui]

Apparat - Steady Uprising

 

[kineaesth]

DARE (Junior Sanchez Remix) - Gorillaz

Reminds me of Franz Ferdinand, somehow.

 

[Cavalry]

Electronica sounds more intelligible then techno

[Ennui]

El-P - Tuned Mass Damper

 

[kineaesth]

Hong Kong - Gorillaz

*wonders if you mean intelligent*

 

[Ennui]

Galactic - Stax Jam

 

[Cavalry]

intelligible is like a verb form of intelligent me supposes

Pendulum-Hold your Colour

 

[Qonfused]

Track 07 [Live] by BoC

I so, SO, want to go to one of these.

 

[Ennui]

Intelligible doesn't really mean anything like 'intelligent', it just sounds similar. It's an adjective.

Four Tet - Smile Around The Face

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Queens of the Stone Age - Turnin' on the Screw

 

[kineaesth]

DIrty Harry (Schtung Chinese New Year Remix) - Gorillaz

intelligible is like a verb form of intelligent me supposes

Intelligible means understandable. Like, if you wrote really poorly, I could say you were un-intelligible.

This song has Chinese rapping. Nice.

 

[Cavalry]

me wonders why I hear "intelligible conversations" on the T.V. when they mean intelligent then...
