what was the first electronic song that you remember hearing?

the chase by moroder (midnight express) : on heavy rotation in shopping centers. now everytime i hear it, i'm like "consume consume consume".

Oh and one of my first memory is watching Koyaanisqatsi on PBS in the mid/early 80's, on a little black and white telly and being mezmerised by it, so that could be my first memory of electronic music (it's somehow more electro-acoustic, but still...)

this... and autobahn! first one i heard that i was floored by was Numbers/Computer World 2!

For me, the Doctor Who theme song, 1977. I don't really count that as music though (more a soundtrack), so it would probably have to be Soft Cell's Tainted Love - I remember that song captivated me with the synths...

I dunno but The Real McCoy was pretty rad

I'm pretty sure the dr who theme song counts as "music" joyrex.

First Electronic music I ever heard was LUDDs 7 Pin dinner like 10 years ago (maybe not that long, but can't be far off).

orbital halcyon off the mortal kombat soundtrack. i hated it and i hated "techno", wierd huh?

Is this how you get your stiffies now - going around and disagreeing with everything I post/say?

Yes, yes, it's all "music" - I meant to say I don't count it really as music in the sense of it being a song, but rather a part of a audio/visual work and was composed specifically for that purpose, whereas a song stands on it's own merits.

weird. same reason venice in peril popped into my head as being first.

edit* that and being new around here i guess i should be friends with your gang till i find out whos mexican/black/nazi

It was either some Freestyle song, Synthpop, Eurodance or the Super Mario Bros. theme.

my parents were huge new age heads, so I heard loads of Tangerine Dream, Yanni, "Private Music", "Narada" etc.

not sure if those count as teh elektronic musix

I can remember Autobahn from riding in the car when I was like 3.

it might actually've been longer than 10 years ago, thinking about it

it sounds like musical upside-down pear cake with ice-cream.

edit* what synth?

Most likely early video game soundtracks (Mario Bros, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, etc).

mc303 / casiotone mt65 / cheetah md16 drum machine / boss delay pedal / 4track portastudio

Probably "Take on Me" or something else from the 80's.

I remember watching this video at my friend's 15th birthday or something while his parents were asleep. We were all so excited and proud of ourselves for watching such a mature music video.
